For ADU and in-law suite owners

Rent for the unit out back, without the awkward knock

When your tenant lives over the garage or in the basement, asking for rent means knocking on a door a few steps from your own. RentMerchant sends the monthly invoice, the reminder, and the receipt for you, so rent stops being a conversation in the driveway. California alone permitted 30,354 ADUs in 2024, more than a quarter of all homes permitted in the state, according to its Department of Housing and Community Development. The free plan covers a unit like this. One honest note: there is no metered utility billing, so if your tenant chips in for shared utilities, charge a flat monthly amount.

Những phiền toái thường gặp

Your tenant is also your neighbor

You share a driveway, a yard, maybe a wall. Asking for late rent in person is uncomfortable for both of you, so it often does not get asked at all.

Paid by app, recorded nowhere

Rent sent through a payment app with a one-word memo is hard to match to a month, and harder to hand your tax preparer in April.

Shared utilities, fuzzy math

One meter often serves both homes, so the utility share gets settled with a guess, a text, and a reminder nobody enjoys sending.

RentMerchant giúp được gì

The system asks, so you do not have to

Set a recurring monthly invoice once and it goes out on its own. Automatic reminders go out before and after the due date, a late fee applies itself if your lease has one, and a receipt follows when the payment lands. Your tenant pays by bank transfer or card, and card autopay is there if they want it.

A flat utility charge, stated plainly

RentMerchant does not read meters or split utility bills. If your tenant contributes to shared utilities, agree on a flat monthly figure and build it into the recurring charge with a clear description, or bill it on its own one-off invoice.

Free, with records for tax time

One ADU fits easily inside the free plan, which covers up to three properties with every tool. Send the lease for e-signature, and every payment, online or a check you record by hand, sits on the tenant's ledger. Track expenses as they happen and export a Schedule E summary at year end. By default the tenant pays the processing fee: on a bank transfer that is 0.8% capped at $5.00 plus a $2.00 RentMerchant fee, and you receive the full rent.
