Rent Collection
Rhino's Guaranteed Collection Protocols
Rhino Property Management handles the entire rent collection and payment process for landlords across the Wasatch Front — so you never have to chase a check, reconcile a bank deposit, or field a tenant’s payment excuse yourself. Our team has years of experience as property owners and managers ourselves, and we’ve built our payment system around what actually works for both sides of the transaction: an online process that lets tenants pay quickly and gives owners a consistent, predictable rent collection cycle.
- Fixed Due Dates: Rent is due on the first day of the month for all tenants, establishing a firm, reliable payment schedule.
- Automated Late Fee Enforcement: We diligently apply and track late fees beyond the specified grace period, ensuring lease terms are consistently upheld without fail.
- Prorated Rent Calculations: We expertly handle complex move-ins and move-outs by calculating prorated rent based on a daily rate, simplifying mid-month transitions.
- Convenient Payment Options: Tenants can pay anytime, anywhere via our secure online payment platform. We also accept in-person and certified forms of payment to maximize convenience.
- Clear Documentation: Receipts are provided instantly for every transaction, maintaining transparency and a complete audit trail for all parties.
- Lease Term Review: Expectations are reviewed and signed in writing with every tenant before lease signing, emphasizing the commitment to timely payment.
- Zero Tolerance Policy: We maintain strict consistency with collection procedures, including prompt follow-through on late fees and initiation of eviction proceedings when necessary.
How Our Payment Processing Works
Rhino Property Management’s rent payment system is built to move rent from tenant to owner without delays or manual bottlenecks. Our online payment process includes:
- Volume handling: We process mass payments simultaneously without significant backup, so tenants across all our managed properties can pay without delays or transaction errors.
- Flexible payment types: Depending on your preference as the property owner, we can accommodate multiple types of payment methods.
- Property-specific setup: We tailor the payment process to the unique tenant/manager relationship of each property we manage, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all system.
Proper rent collection requires a series of steps to be carried out with a clear knowledge of the process as a whole. We hold ourselves to a high standard when working with tenants to ensure rent is collected properly and on time. If any problem arises with a tenant where rent collection is concerned, we follow a strict protocol to ensure that things run smoothly when dealing with any tenant issue.
Why Timely Payment Processing Matters
Moving rent collection online isn’t just a convenience — it changes outcomes. Renters who pay online report a significantly higher satisfaction rate than those who don’t, at 77% compared to 35%, according to PYMNTS.com‘s analysis of rental payment trends. On the collection side, the percentage of renters who paid a late fee in the past year reached 23% in February 2023 before declining to slightly less than 14% by November 2024, per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — underscoring why a consistent, well-managed collection process matters for landlord cash flow.

Rhino Property Management is dedicated to addressing the unique relationship between tenant and manager, providing a timely payment processing system so you receive your income in your bank account at the same time, every month.
