What is Split Pay and how does it affect me as a landlord?

Split Pay is the payment tool your tenant uses to pay you rent. Here's the simple version:

  • They split rent into two payments — half upfront, half about two weeks later

  • You get the full rent amount on the date it's due. Always.

  • We cover the gap between your tenant's two payments so you never wait

For you, it's basically rent on autopilot once you're set up. No invoicing, no chasing, no late checks, no fees.

To get paid through Split Pay, you'll need to:

  1. Accept the payment request your tenant sends you

  2. Create a Split Pay landlord account and connect your bank account so we can send the money straight to you

After those two steps, you're done. Future months are automatic as long as your tenant is using Split Pay.

Where you'll do this: your landlord account lives at rent.app — you'll see it branded "Split Pay by Rent App." Same Split Pay, just the landlord side. (Your tenant pays on their side at splitpay.com.)


Heads up — you might also benefit from Split Pay yourself. If you have a mortgage or a car loan, Split Pay works the same way for those — half upfront, half two weeks later, the lender gets paid in full and on time.
