Set up and manage automatic rent payments
Review the charges, timing, method and fees before authorizing future payments.
On this page
Open the intended home in Money. A saved bank account alone does not enable automatic payments. Pay current or past-due bills separately.
Step 1: Check availability
Open Money > Autopay. Due-date rent autopay shows On or Off and whether fixed monthly rent is eligible. If unavailable, use the payment options in Money or ask your landlord about the billing schedule.
Step 2: Choose charges and timing
Choose Set up autopay, or Customize charges and timing when offered. In Set up automatic payments, check Rental, choose Process before each due date and select eligible Recurring monthly charges. The custom timing choices are 1 to 12 days before, initially 3 days. Each selection covers its full remaining balance.
Step 3: Review and save a draft
Choose Review schedule and check the amounts and dates. Choose Save draft to keep the selection. A draft does not authorize payments or change an existing active schedule.
Step 4: Authorize separately
When activation is available, choose a Saved payment method and Review method and fees. Read the exact fees, timing and authorization. Tick the consent only if you agree, then choose Authorize custom payments. If activation is unavailable, no payment is authorized.
Step 5: Review the autopay status
Return to Autopay and read the custom payment status for the selected rental. Active, Draft, Off and Paused have different meanings. Review Custom payment history and Payment history for individual results.
Step 6: Change or stop future payments
Open the setup again to review saved charges and timing. Use Turn off future custom payments for a custom schedule, or Turn off autopay for due-date rent autopay. Read the resulting status. Turning off future payments does not cancel a payment already submitted.
Check the result
- Only an active authorization enables future custom payments. A saved draft is not authorization. Each payment still has its own result.
FAQs
Is due-date rent autopay the same as a custom schedule?
They are separate. The standard rent authorization follows the lease due date. A supported custom authorization covers selected future full balances before their due dates. Review the displayed flow and status for the one you use.
Which amounts can I schedule?
The custom payment form offers eligible recurring monthly charges. Each selected charge is paid for its full remaining balance. Review the available charges, timing and fees before authorizing.
What if a scheduled payment fails?
Read the original result and resolve its cause before another attempt. Custom failed payments are never retried automatically. A bank reconnection or saved method does not by itself pay the missed charge.
What if a roommate or another home also has a schedule?
Check the selected Rental and any existing schedule before authorizing. Coordinate with your roommates and landlord so you know which balances each person will pay. Review each home’s charges and payment status separately.
