Collecting Rent For Your Investment
Collecting rent should be the easy part, and when you have a responsible resident who pays on time, it is. But not every tenancy goes that smoothly, and when a resident falls behind, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it makes all the difference. At Stones River Property Management, we have the experience, systems, and knowledge of Tennessee landlord-tenant law to handle every situation with precision.
When a resident misses a payment or exceeds the lease's grace period, we do not wait and hope for the best. We promptly issue the appropriate late rent notice and collect all applicable late fees along with the outstanding rent balance, ensuring lease terms are enforced and your investment remains protected from the very first missed payment.
In the rare worst-case scenario where a resident stops paying entirely, Stones River Property Management steps in to guide you through the eviction process in full compliance with Tennessee law, and then moves quickly to get your property re-rented so your income disruption is as short as possible.
For residents, paying rent is as simple as logging into the AppFolio-powered online Resident Portal, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We actively encourage residents to pay online because faster payments on their end mean faster owner disbursements on yours. Your money moves efficiently — and you always know where things stand.
