IntroducingPayTo

The new, faster way to pay rent

PayTo lets you quickly and securely pay your rent from your bank account, giving you greater control and better visibility over payments. PayTo is available to all tenants with Rental Rewards.

PayTo incurs a flat fee for each transaction. The transaction fee is displayed at the time of payment.
