How to collect rent and track payments in LeaseyLog

March 14, 20262 min readLeaseyLog Team

LeaseyLog helps you see what is due, what got paid, and what still needs attention.

Simple rent collection flow

This image shows the main rent flow: create the invoice, collect the payment, then check the status.

Step 1: Create the rent invoice or schedule

Go to the rent section.

From there, you can:

  • create a one-time invoice
  • create a rent schedule for repeat rent

If rent repeats every month, use a schedule so you do not keep doing the same work over and over.

Step 2: Let the tenant pay

When the invoice is active, the tenant can pay through the payment flow.

If the tenant paid another way, like cash or check, you can record that manually.

Step 3: Watch the payment status

LeaseyLog shows whether rent is:

  • pending
  • paid
  • overdue
  • void

This is important because you do not want to guess who paid and who did not.

Step 4: Handle problems quickly

If something fails, check the invoice and payment details.

LeaseyLog also shows payment issues and unresolved webhook problems so you can retry them instead of digging through logs.

Step 5: Keep your late fee rules clear

If you use late fees, set the rule clearly.

That way the system stays consistent and tenants know what to expect.

Why this matters

Without a system, rent tracking usually turns into:

  • checking bank accounts
  • looking through messages
  • guessing who still owes money

LeaseyLog keeps that in one place.
