Can rent be collected automatically every month?

You set the rent due day on the tenancy — either when you set the terms, or at any time afterwards if it needs correcting. Your tenant then switches auto-pay on themselves from their portal.

Auto-pay is the tenant's decision, not yours, because they own the Direct Debit mandate. Once it's on, a daily sweep charges each due tenancy on its due day.

• A tenant can still press Pay rent now with auto-pay on — Tenarize checks whether the month has already been paid rather than the source of the payment, so nobody is double-charged.
• A failed attempt schedules an automatic retry four days later, then another four days after that. Only once those are exhausted does the month count as a real failure.
• Two failed months in a row switches auto-pay off and emails both of you. It switches back on automatically if the tenant then links working bank details.
