Invoicing for landlords
Collect rent from 1–4 units. Your tenant doesn't need an app.
Send rent as a monthly invoice due on the 1st. Your tenant pays from a link or a QR code, from their bank account or by card, with no app and no account. Polite reminders follow up, and your dashboard shows who has paid. Made for owners of one to four units, including tradespeople who rent out a place on the side.

Total$1,450.00
Made for the way landlords work
The paperwork side of the job, on the phone already in your pocket.
- Rent that bills itself
- Set the invoice to repeat every month. Each one goes out on its own with the pay link, so you are not retyping it every 1st.
- A link or a QR code
- Your tenant opens the link or scans the code and pays on their own phone. They do not install anything or make an account.
- Bank or card
- Tenants can pay from a US bank account (ACH) or by card. Bank payments cost you less than a card on an amount as big as rent.
- Reminders without the awkward text
- Polite emails go out before the due date and again if rent is late, and stop the moment it is paid.
- See who has paid
- The dashboard shows what is paid this month, what is outstanding and what is overdue, so you do not have to check your bank.
Set up monthly rent in 3 steps
- Add your tenant as a customer. Open Customers and add their name and email.
- Make the invoice. Add a line like “March rent — Unit 2” for the amount. Send it on the 1st, due the same day.
- Tap Make this recurring. Choose Every month. A copy goes out on the same day each month, with the pay link and reminders.
Charging a late fee? Add it as a line on an invoice, and use our free late fee calculator to work out the amount. Late fee limits vary by state and city; check yours before adding one.

Questions from landlords
Does my tenant need an app or an account?
No. They open the link or scan the QR code and pay by card or from a US bank account.
Can rent go out on the 1st every month?
Yes. Make the invoice on the 1st and set it to repeat every month. Each copy goes out on the same day of the month, with the same due date terms.
What does Paylark not do?
It collects payments and sends reminders. It does not screen tenants, write leases, hold security deposits or report to credit bureaus.
What does Paylark cost?
Starter is free: we take 0.3% of each payment, capped at $10. Pro is $19 a month with no fee from us. Stripe's card processing applies on every plan.
