Payments & Refunds
Online rent payments use Stripe. Processing fees depend on your payment method and your landlord’s plan — for example, credit/debit cards are typically 2.9% + $0.30, and bank (ACH) fees vary by plan (often lower than card). Your landlord may pass these fees to you at checkout or absorb them from their payout. See our pricing page for published fee examples; your payment screen shows the exact amount before you confirm a charge.
Rent and deposit refunds are processed through Stripe back to the same card or bank account used for the original payment. Your property manager initiates the refund; Stripe forwards it to your bank or card issuer.
- Credit or debit card: usually 5–10 business days before the refund appears on your statement, depending on your bank. Some banks post it in 2–3 business days; others can take longer. If the refund was issued soon after you paid, it may appear as a reversal (the original charge is removed) rather than a separate credit.
- Bank account (ACH): typically at least 3 business days for Stripe to process, and often 3–5 or more business days before it shows in your account — timing varies by bank.
- While you wait: the portal may show Pending refund. You do not need to pay again; no action is required on your side.
- Still missing a card refund? If nothing appears after 10 business days, contact your bank. Processing fees charged on the original payment are generally not refunded.
Timing follows Stripe’s refund guidance and your financial institution’s posting schedule.
Your landlord issued a refund through Stripe. The portal shows Pending refund until your bank or card issuer posts the credit. You do not need to take any payment action. Card refunds usually settle in about 5–10 business days; bank (ACH) refunds often take at least 3–5 business days after processing, depending on your bank.
