# Rent Collection

> Automated rent tracking, reminders, and receipts across properties and units.

## What it does

* Tracks rent schedules by property, unit, and lease.
* Sends proactive reminders, receipts, and escalation notices.
* Flags delinquencies and anomalies for follow-up.

## Why it matters

* Reduce late payments with timely nudges.
* Standardize communication and receipts.
* Keep finance and operations aligned with live status.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sync schedules">
    Import leases, rent amounts, and due dates from CSV, API, or PMS exports.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automate reminders">
    AI drafts reminders and escalations (email/SMS) based on due dates, grace periods, and delinquency rules.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track and reconcile">
    Reconcile payments, issue receipts, and push ledger updates to accounting systems or webhooks.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Configuration checklist

* Required fields: tenant\_id, unit\_id, due\_date, amount, currency, status.
* Notification windows: pre-due, due, grace, escalation.
* Channels: email, SMS, or webhook to your comms system.
