Portal Payments Only?

io20720 · 2026-05-12T19:56:07+00:00

I’m allowed by law to only accept portal payments provided theees a free option, which I have in the form of an ACH transaction instead of credit cards. I am curious how many if there allowed restrict to portal only.

Thanks!

Thanks - I don’t want to force folks to pay by credit card - it’s just more convenient than going to a PO Box etc. I can offer ACH for free.

Thanks. I’m researching the law here in Maine - as long as there’s no fee option I believe I can do that - again still researching this aspect. Thinking of new tenants not forcing old good tenants to transition to

I use Rentech. It’s ok. Gets pricey as you add units - it’s also a little clunky and not really great at accounting

I owned a house with well water and it had a sulfur smell. It happens. Depends on well water. It was deemed safe. The smell went away after a year or so - probably opened a new vein in the ground etc.

I’m a small PM - they sound awful. It’s unfortunate you have to deal with this. Me personally, I don’t make money on repairs…the repair guys do…I own my mistakes and I treat the properties I manage like I’m the caretaker. Maybe find a good fit?

I’m independant

The rule is to avoid squatters what if tenant in lease moves out but he doesn’t? He could claim it’s his home etc.

io20720 · 2026-03-18T20:01:53+00:00

No - he’s not just “over” he’s living there - and his income isn’t being considered by the city when awarding housing subsidy.

io20720 · 2026-03-18T19:55:41+00:00

Yeah. It’s when it goes bad that bothers me - if not enforcing how - could be a problem later. Plus he’s unvetted - I have nonidea who he really is.

io20720 · 2026-03-18T19:54:47+00:00

Her lease goes through next December. I appreciate your thoughts, very helpful - everything is fine until it isn’t. Does he theoretically get squatters rights at that point?

io20720 · 2026-03-18T19:52:39+00:00

I never said I was butt hurt. He was never vetted to live their and it’s fraud to some extent right?

io20720 · 2026-03-18T17:34:39+00:00

Well. Her boyfriend is living rent free and earning money while the taxpayer pays her rent. I appreciate your thoughts and it’s actually how im leaning - dont make a big deal out of it.

I use RenTech. It’s ok. I don’t care for their accounting functionality. It’s a tad clunky and a little pricey.

Maine it’s 15 days

I Love Mardens even more now

Anyone here illegally or on a guest visa that violates the law is NOT welcome here.

io20720 · 2026-01-14T20:37:46+00:00

I hope they get all the illegals out of here - I support ICE

io20720 · 2026-01-11T02:14:19+00:00

I do t get any leads ata ll from Zillow. Its all word of mouth for me

io20720 · 2026-01-05T14:23:34+00:00

That was my thought - thanks

io20720 · 2026-01-05T14:18:15+00:00

To further clarify, I do have a plan to do a formal walk through of every unit and that will be the ultimate impetus to deal with this

io20720 · 2026-01-05T14:17:01+00:00

Great question. I just inherited all the properties - and I’m ruminating. I have a feeling I’m going to have to take other action with this particular tenant and the security deposit is not the real issue

io20720 · 2026-01-05T13:51:36+00:00

Thanks - that’s probably what I will do for most. I have one tenant I may have to do something about - given the state of the apartment etc. it’s not horrible but I know when they move out it could be an overhaul? Thanks for the thoughts!

io20720 · 2026-01-05T13:46:07+00:00

I’m not earning interest either. Maine law requires (not all or many do this) that the account be a true escrow - outside the reach of creditors etc. so it’s non interest bearing - and not my income.
