Collecting Rental Is No Longer Your Monthly Chore

Collecting rental is no longer your monthly chore. SPEEDHOME will collect the rental on your behalf. Free of charge! Here’s how it works:

Collecting Rental Is No Longer Your Monthly Chore

For one, we will remind your tenant about paying the rent 7 days before the rental deadline.

Also, we will send a monthly invoice to tenants through email. They will find a link in the invoice to pay through Online Banking.

Payment from tenants can be done via:

  • credit card/debit card
  • online banking
  • ATM/CDM

Do note that utility bills will be paid by the tenants to the respective agencies. SPEEDHOME will only collect monthly rentals from tenants. Find out how to check your tenant’s rental payment status here.

But who will ensure that your tenants pay? And what happens if they run off & default from rental payment? We explain more on our next article, “Default Rental: Who Will Pay For The Crime?”

Practical checks before landlords or tenants act

Do not treat a rental issue as solved just because both sides discussed it verbally. Check the tenancy agreement, payment records, condition photos, utility bills, repair reports, keys, access cards and any written messages that show what was agreed. A clear record helps both sides separate a normal misunderstanding from a contractual issue that needs formal follow-up.

For landlords, the safest starting point is evidence, written notice and a process that does not pressure the tenant unlawfully. For tenants, the safest starting point is to confirm payment status, handover condition and the responsibilities already accepted in the agreement. Avoid shortcuts such as changing locks, cutting utilities, throwing away belongings or relying on threats; those steps can make the dispute harder to resolve.

How to use SPEEDHOME records better

If the tenancy is managed through SPEEDHOME, keep the important records in one place: listing details, screening or application records, payment history, repair reports, condition photos and handover notes. This does not replace legal advice, but it gives landlords and tenants a cleaner timeline when discussing rent, repairs, deposits, early termination or move-out disputes.
