πŸ“Š Payments

No more chasing. No more guessing.

Background

Why

Money is emotional. It’s where deals get delayed, trust gets lost, and headaches begin.

In renting, it's even messier β€” one platform for deposits, another for rent, another for maintenance. Tenants miss payments. Landlords chase them. Tradesmen wait weeks to get paid.

‍F.estate integrates payments into the core of the rental experience, so nothing gets missed, delayed, or lost in translation.

What

F.estate’s payment system handles everything from recurring rent to one-off invoices, across three core types:

πŸ” Direct Debits
Recurring rent payments.
- Synced with lease terms
- Auto-generated per frequency (weekly/monthly/etc.)
- Linked to tenant accounts and status
- Tracked for payment success or failure
- Built-in reminders + automatic receipts

🧾 Invoices
One-off payments β€” usually for jobs.
- Raised by service staff or landlords
- Itemised line breakdowns
- Linked to bids, jobs, and completion status
- Payable directly through the app
- Stored in financial history for audit/reporting
