For student housing owners

Rent from every roommate, without the chasing

Four students, four rent payments, and usually a parent or two paying some of them. RentMerchant gives each resident their own invoice, lets whoever covers the rent pay from a link, and keeps academic-year leases, applications and maintenance in one place.

Free for up to 3 properties, and no card to start. Prefer to look around first?

The usual headaches

One unit, several payers

When roommates split the rent, one person paying late or short leaves the whole unit behind, and you end up mediating between them.

Parents pay, students get the emails

The person with the bill is often not the person with the money, and a check in the mail from out of state is slow and easy to lose.

The year runs on the academic calendar

August move-ins, May move-outs, summer gaps and a fresh round of applications every spring all land at once.

How RentMerchant helps

An invoice for each resident

Bill each roommate their own share on their own schedule, so one late payment is one person's problem, not the whole unit's.

Pay from a link, no account needed

Students can forward their pay link to a parent, who pays by bank or card from anywhere. Autopay keeps the rest of the year on time.

Leases that start and end on time

Set each rent schedule's start and end dates to the lease, take applications online, and sign leases electronically before move-in day.

Repairs with photos

Residents report maintenance issues with photos from their phone, and you can see every request through to done.

Common spaces

Off-campus houses rented by the room, student apartments, purpose-built student housing, Greek and co-op houses, and summer subleases.
