Our approach
How we recover unpaid rent
Step 1: Coordinate
We work alongside you and your legal representatives so collection lines up with eviction timelines and court requirements.
Step 2: Assess
Inspection reports, damage claims and security deposit applications are reviewed to establish the full amount owed.
Step 3: Negotiate
We engage tenants directly to set up repayment plans or settlements, with secure electronic payment options.
Step 4: Report & recover
Verified delinquencies are reported to the major credit bureaus, and further action is taken only with your approval.

Can you collect from a tenant who has already moved out?
Yes. We locate former tenants, including those who left no forwarding address, using skip tracing, then pursue the unpaid rent, fees and damages they owe.
Do you work alongside evictions?
Yes. We coordinate with property owners and their legal representatives so the collection process lines up with eviction timelines and court requirements.
Can you recover damages beyond the security deposit?
Yes. We coordinate inspection reports, damage claims and security deposit applications to recover amounts owed beyond rent.
Do you report unpaid rent to the credit bureaus?
We report verified delinquencies to the major credit bureaus, which encourages accountability and helps deter future defaults.
