How Our Rent Collection Works in Athens, AL

When you hire Realty And Auction LLC to manage your Athens, AL rental, rent collection becomes completely hands-off. Tenants pay through the resident portal on or before their due date. We track payments, apply late fees when applicable, follow up on any delinquencies, and disburse your net proceeds directly to your bank account every month.

You see everything in your owner portal — real-time balance, payment history, expenses, and net income. No spreadsheets, no phone calls chasing tenants, no wondering whether you've been paid.

Late Payments and Delinquency Handling

Late rent is handled by our team — not you. We issue automated reminders before the due date, apply late fees after the grace period (per AL law and your lease terms), and follow up directly with tenants who don't pay. For persistent non-payment, we escalate through proper legal notice procedures and coordinate with legal counsel for eviction filings if necessary.

Owners never need to confront tenants about money. That's what we're here for.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my owner disbursement each month?
Owner distributions are processed on a consistent monthly schedule — typically within the first 10 business days of the month, after rent has been collected and any applicable expenses have been deducted. Your exact disbursement date is outlined in your management agreement.
What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent?
We contact the tenant immediately, apply late fees, and send formal written notices per AL landlord-tenant law. If the tenant remains delinquent, we advise you on next steps — including the eviction process if necessary. We handle all communications and documentation so you stay legally protected throughout.
Can tenants pay rent with cash or check?
We strongly prefer and encourage online payment for full transaction visibility and documentation. In limited circumstances we can accommodate money orders, but all payments are logged and receipted. Cash is not accepted — it creates liability and audit risk for all parties.
