Collecting Rent through ePayments (Yes or No?)

[Chris Walters]

Hi everyone,

What is your opinion about collecting rent through electronic payments? Specifically online debit or credit card payments. 

Any good or bad stories? Any methods of preventing a tenant who uses a frauded card on the last month of the lease before moving out?

Mailed or picked up cheques seem to still be the most common method, but I am wondering if anyone has or is considering online payments.

I know there is often a fee attached to the epayments, which might discourage your tenants...
