Managing rent payments can be one of the most time-consuming parts of being a landlord. Your Move can help make the process simpler by supporting rent collection, monitoring payments and keeping you informed.

Our local teams help manage the details, so you can spend less time chasing payments and more time enjoying the benefits of your investment.

## Clear payment arrangements

Tenants should have clear information about the rent amount, payment date and how payments should be made.

Your Move can help ensure these details are communicated clearly from the beginning, with tenants knowing who to contact if they have a question or expect difficulty paying.

## Keeping track of payments

Regular payment monitoring helps identify concerns early. Our teams can help keep track of rental payments and follow up promptly if a payment is missed.

Early communication can often clarify whether a payment has been delayed, an administrative issue has occurred or further support is needed.

## Supporting tenant communication

If a tenant falls behind, a calm and professional approach can help establish what has happened and identify the appropriate next steps.

Your Move can communicate with tenants on your behalf, keep you updated and help manage repayment arrangements where appropriate.

## Keeping accurate records

Clear records can make rental income easier to manage. Depending on the service selected, Your Move can provide statements and property information to help you keep track of payments and tenancy activity.

Accurate records can also be useful if arrears continue and professional advice is required.

## Reviewing rent protection

Rent protection may provide additional reassurance if a tenant is unable to pay. The cover available will depend on the policy and service selected.

Your local Your Move team can explain the options available and help you choose the level of support that suits your circumstances.

## Getting professional support

If arrears continue or communication breaks down, it is important to seek professional advice before taking further action.

Landlords should never harass tenants, change the locks or attempt to remove them without following the correct legal process. Your Move can help landlords understand when additional advice may be needed.

## How Your Move can help

From rent collection and payment monitoring to tenant communication and property information, Your Move can help take the pressure out of managing rental income.
