Hands-Free rent collection
We’ve made paying and receiving rent simple, efficient and secure - the way it should be.
Hand-free service is an automated rent collection system designed to save landlords time and hassle collecting rent.
myRent collects the rent, reconciles, chases arrears and notifies you when the payment is received and on the way to your account. We know how important to receive rent on time, so here at myRent we want to get it to you as fast as possible. Rent is transferred to you the same day it clears myRent's bank account (usually within one business day). This option is available for additional $12+gst per month.
Tenants have the option to pay rent by credit or debit card. This is a powerful tool for clearing arrears quickly, even when cash flow is tight.
Rest assured, our hands-free rent collection service also takes care of the necessary record keeping. As a landlord, you are legally required to keep records of rent payments and documents. With myRent, this record keeping is done for you, saving you time and ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
Additionally, we understand the challenges of dealing with missed payments. That's why we follow up immediately on any missed rent payments. If a payment fails to arrive on our system, we will notify you promptly, allowing you to take appropriate action based on your preferred approach. We provide various options and support you in resolving any rent-related issues swiftly and efficiently.
myRent is also an official WINZ supplier (CUR001535505), so we can collect WINZ payments on your behalf.

Select "Use Hands-free rent collection" if you want a hands-free experience, and rent will be paid to myRent account.
It's entirely up to you which option you'd like to take, and you can definitely change your mind and switch between them. This option will be available under Settings.
Once the setup is complete, instructions on how your tenants can pay rent and any specific payment references will be available on the 'Rent' page of your tenancy.
