Rent dashboard showing the rent split between tenants and the breakdown of previous and future rent payments

myRent has two options for collecting and organising your rent:

DIY rent collection

Tenants pay rent directly into your bank account. You reconcile rent in myRent, which organises your rent on an online rent statement.

Optional: sync your bank account and myRent will automatically reconcile rent payments.

Great for: Landlords who want to streamline rent collection and stay hands on.

Hands-free rent collection

myRent collects your rent, reconciles it, provides real-time updates, and chases any arrears. Rent is transferred to your bank account within one business day.

Great for: Busy landlords who want to set and forget. myRent looks after your rent for you.

Rent payment by card

Not available.

FAQs

Do you make any reductions from the rent?

No. The balance of the rent is transferred to your bank account and a statement is provided through the rent section of your dashboard.

How do you pay the landlord?

You nominate the bank account you want the rent paid into. This can be any NZ retail bank (Sorry myRent cannot transfer to international bank accounts).

Rent will be transferred to you within one business day of it clearing myRent's bank account.

How do tenants pay their rent?

With Hands-free rent collection, the majority of tenants pay their rent via bank transfer. myRent is set up as an official bill payer with all the main NZ banks to make payments easier.

Tenants also have the option to pay their rent via credit or debt card. Paying by card attracts a card fee which is paid by the tenant to cover the merchant fees.

Are there any extra fees?

myRent's management pricing starts at $10 per month. Learn more about our pricing.

Tenants do not pay any fees for our service except if they choose to pay rent via card in which case a merchant fee is collected and passed onto the card processor.

What happens if the tenancy has already started?

myRent is designed to work equally well for new tenancies and existing tenancies. If you have an existing tenancy you specify the date you want myRent to take over rent collection and we take over from there.

Is Hands Free Rent Collection compliant?

Yes, myRent is built around the Residential Tenancies Act so rent is collected correctly. Records are kept longer than the 7 years required by the IRD.

Tenants can access a complete history of rent payments anytime from their dashboard so rent receipts and statements are no longer required to stay compliant.
