Make a partial rent payment
Choose a smaller payment when your lease allows it.
On this page
Your landlord must allow partial payments. Check Processing and Payment history before starting another payment.
Step 1: Open the payment
In Money, select Make a Payment. Read the lease payment-policy message and choose the destination if one is offered.
Step 2: Enter the amount
Choose an available payment method and enter Amount to pay. If the field is locked, the lease requires the full payable balance for that destination.
Step 3: Review and pay
Select Proceed to confirmation. Check Your charges, the Rentari platform fee and You pay. Review any required card-fee acknowledgement, then select Pay now once.
If the amount cannot be changed
Ask your landlord to check Allow partial payments, online payment access and Settle older past-due charges first in the lease settings. Pay separate destinations separately.
Sharing a balance
A partial payment leaves the unpaid amount owing. Coordinate with roommates so everyone understands what remains; this setting does not assign individual shares.
Check the result
- Your payment has a recorded status, and you can review the remaining balance.
FAQs
Can I pay more than the available balance?
Use the amount accepted by the payment form. Follow its current validation message before confirming.
What if a payment is already processing?
Check its status before trying again. If the amount is wrong, contact your landlord through Messages.
Does a smaller payment change my rent?
No. It reduces the amount still owed when applied; it does not waive the remainder.
