Benefits of Electronic Cash Payments for Renters
Paying rent with cash might be some tenants’ preferred payment option, especially if they don’t have access to a traditional bank account or get paid with cash. Cash payments, however, can be cumbersome to deal with and a traditional cash rent payment comes with its fair share of liability and additional work.
Electronic cash payments eliminate the need for extensive loss prevention policies and the chore of traveling to the bank to deposit large quantities of cash. Electronic cash payments with PayNearMe offers a convenient and secure way for your tenants to confidentiality pay rent with cash, simplifying the rent collection for landlords and property managers.

Rentec Direct integration with PayNearMe allows you to seamlessly receive and track electronic cash rent payments in your property management software. By offering convenient rent payment options, you encourage on-time payments from your tenants and streamline your accounting.
Rentec Direct’s cash payment feature is powered by PayNearMe. Rentec Direct landlords and property managers can apply for a PayNearMe enabled account by following these instructions: Apply for Cash Payments in Rentec Direct
PayNearMe does have some minimum requirements for getting approved:
- You must have a Rentec Pro or Rentec PM account; and
- You must take in an average of 10 cash payments per month.
Pricing:
- Tenants pay $3.99 service fee to the payment location when making a payment. For example, if they want to pay $500 in rent, the payment location will charge them $503.99 and $500 will be sent to your bank account.
- PayNearMe is required to complete an extensive background check on applicants in order to legally transfer cash in the United States. As such, they have a one-time $200 setup fee.
