What are the transition steps for a landlord?

Important Note:  Since eRentPayment does not store your Lease Start Date and Lease End Date, we estimate those dates during the upgrade.  You may need to update the Rent Amount, Lease Start Date, and Lease End Date for each property/unit.  We will also upgrade old properties to ensure the payment history is retained.  

1. Log in to your existing eRentPayment profile at www.erentpayment.com.

2. On the Manager Dashboard you should be prompted with a window to start the migration.

3. Select Accept and Continue in the window.

4. Your property, account, tenant, payment history, and data will be migrated to your new profile and display the new dashboard.

5. You will be prompted to pay just $1.00 for a 6-month subscription.
