Prefer to pay rent online? Louise Beck Properties is pleased to offer our tenants the ability to pay their rent online through Property Solution’s Resident Pay system via credit card or electronic check. We offer this service as a convenience to our tenants who wish to avoid the fees associated with late payment of rent or for those wishing to take advantage of cash-back or airline points offered by their credit card company. We do not encourage our tenants to use credit unwisely. PLEASE NOTE: There are fees associated with using your credit card to pay rent. These fees are paid directly to the credit card company processing the charges, not to Louise Beck Properties, Inc.. You will be notified of the fees prior to confirming payment. For Visa customers, the maximum allowable charge per transaction is $1,000. If your rent exceeds $1,000, you’ll need to make multiple payments, or choose a different method of payment.

What if I can’t pay my rent?
Q: I can’t pay my rent. What are my options?
A: We understand that life is unpredictable. Job loss, illness, etc. may strike unexpectedly, making it difficult to meet your legal obligation to pay rent. However, failure to pay your rent is a very serious matter, which may have long-term financial consequences. Our owners rely on the income from rental property to meet their own financial obligations; therefore, if a tenant fails to pay rent, we have no choice but to take immediate legal action to recover the money owed.
Q: One of my roommates can’t pay his/her rent. Are the other people living in the property responsible for his/her missed payment?
A: Yes. When you sign a lease, you agree to pay a total monthly rental amount; not several smaller, separate amounts. If you have a roommate who cannot pay rent, every person living in the house becomes equally responsible for any missed rent or shortfall.
Q: If I don’t pay my rent, what will happen?
A: If you cannot pay your rent and have not informed us that you’re having a problem, we have no other choice but to seek immediate legal action to recover the rental payment that you owe. The cost of court is a minimum of $70, plus $15 for each additional person on the lease. This is in addition to the amount of rent owed.
