If your renter misses a rent payment, also known as renter default, there are a few things you should be aware of.
If the payment due date is before the 15th of the month and your renter is late paying rent, your premium will be debited from your Stripe account on the 15th of every month.
Even if your premium is successfully debited on the 15th, to preserve a claim for missed rent, there are certain steps you’ll have to take. First, you must make commercially reasonable efforts to collect unpaid rent from the renter or enter into a payment plan with the renter within 30 days following the renter default. This can include collecting unpaid rent from the renter, entering into a payment plan with the renter, or attempting to repossess the unit.
Check your policy for complete details on what to do if your renter defaults.
