The Landlord Pro-Rent First Solution
Are you struggling with unreliable tenants avoiding paying rent on time?
We have a better landlord pro-rent first solution for you, to help you proactively manage and ensure that your tenants prioritize the timeous payment of the property’s expected monthly rentals.
About Us
ISISEKELO GROUP has joined hands with PREPAID-SERVICES in launching and rolling out a smart technology-based solution for the Landlords/Rental Property Owners, whose primary purpose is to ensure that the timeous payment of rent to the landlord/rental property owner, is prioritized in exchange for the tenants to enjoy all the property related services at their disposal, hassle free.
What is the Landlord Pro-Rent First Solution?
The Landlord Pro-Rent First Solution is an automated, smart technology-driven pro- rent first prepaid service rent collection management software which ensures that the payment of rent to the landlord is prioritized by the tenants in exchange for the enjoyment of the use of the property and all related services at their disposal.
The pro-rent first collection management software integrates the monthly rentals, electricity, and water sub-meters into the property’s prepaid services available for the tenants to enjoy after having made prepayment for the services. The pro-rent first collection management systems/software does not accommodate the notion of pay after use scenario, but a pay and use platform. As a basic rule, tenants pay rent for the use of the property, and pay for the usage of electricity and water services.
It is a self-service prepaid facility whereby tenants must make prepayments towards the rent, and other services such as electricity and water before use, with the rent being automatically, paid first as a matter of priority before paying for the other services. However, should the tenant decide, not to pay the rent, or to skip the payment of a specific month’s rent, automatically it becomes impossible for the tenants to pay for electricity, water, and other services until the outstanding month’s rent for his/her dwelling unit has been paid first in full, and in time. Once the rent for the residential unit has been paid for as it becomes due, the rent collection management software solution allows the tenant to pay for the purchase of other related services at his/her disposal and enjoy them.
Why the Landlord Pro-Rent First Solution?
It is undoubtedly common knowledge that the landlord’s right to receive his/her rental income over his/her investment property is not properly protected. Landlords are not allowed to evict non-paying tenants without first going through lengthy and expensive Court processes. On the contrary, nonpaying tenants are highly protected by the available legislations and regulations. Nonpaying tenants can stay occupying the landlord’s property and enjoy all related benefits at disposal within the property free of charge while the landlord is still going through costly Court processes to obtain demands for payments or evictions thereof. At the same time, the landlord will be paying for the property ownership, the electricity and water supply to the property for the tenants to use and enjoy without receiving any payment in return from the nonpaying tenants. By the time the landlord receives a relief from Court, he/she will be already out of pocket.
Therefore, our Landlord Pro-Rent First Prepaid Services Solution was designed and developed with the plight of the landlords in mind, to provide and guarantee the protection of their rental income over their investment properties. Our rent collection management software system gives the landlord the ability to proactively, and effectively, manage and control the payment of his/her rental income by ensuring that the payment of rent is prioritized by the tenants amongst the property’s prepaid services. If the tenants decide not to pay their rent, the ability to pay for the other property related prepaid services(electricity/water) will automatically not be available until the rent has been paid first. However, tenants whose rental payments are up to date, do have the ability to purchase and enjoy all the prepaid services available at their disposal within the property 24/7 hassle free.
Does the Landlord Pro-Rent First Solution cuts-off the Electricity and Water supplies of Nonpaying Tenants?
No, our Landlord pro-rent first collection management software solution does not cutoff electricity and water supplies to tenants or rented out units within occupied properties. The landlord pro-rent first collection management software solution manages the prioritization of rental collection as it becomes due. The system does not stop the flow of electricity and water into the rented dwellings/units but it monitors and manages the tenants’ integrated ability to purchase the prepaid services which comprise rent, electricity, and water, with priority being given to rent first before the other services could be purchased. Therefore, once the tenant has been able to purchase the electricity and water, the software will never cancel or stop it, but will allow the tenant to continue using or consuming the pre-purchased services until it is used up and be ready for replenishment. However, once the pre-purchased services have been consumed and finished, their re-purchase or replenishment when the rent has fallen due and not yet paid will not be possible until the rent has been paid first in full, thus rent first solution. As soon as the tenants puts money into their dwelling units’ prepaid accounts towards the due rent in full, the ability to purchase the other prepaid services will be available 24/7. Therefore, tenants who decide not to pay their rent, will also be denying themselves the ability to purchase the other services when they are finished and in need of replenishments until the rent has been paid first.
The landlord pro-rent first collection management software solution gives the landlord or property owner the ability to exercise effective control and management of activities over his/her rented out property according to his/her own set terms and conditions. The solution enables the landlord/property owner to set up perimeters and limits over the occupation and usage of his/her properties and implement controls, to ensure that his/her property’s terms and conditions are complied with, and with special emphasis being given to the prioritization of the prepayment of the property rent first before the prepayment of the other services within the rental property. Although the Landlord Solution is aimed at enabling and assisting the landlord/property owner to effectively manage and exercise control over the occupation of his/her investment property, it also helps the tenants to proactively plan and put steps in place to ensure that they prioritize the payment of rent to retain their ability to purchase the other prepaid services within the property as, and when they require them, and enjoy them hassle free.
