How Flex Rent works for integrated properties – Flex ZD Sandbox 8.14.25

What is an integrated property?

An integrated property is one where Flex works directly with your property manager or rent system to handle rent. This connection allows Flex to:

Access your rent bill
Your rent is submitted through Flex, so you don’t need to log into your rent portal or pay your property manager directly.

Once your rent amount is confirmed and your 1st payment is successful, your full rent payment is submitted through Rent.

If a service issue interrupts the process, we’ll notify you in the app or by email with clear next steps. You may be asked to confirm your rent, update your payment method, or take another quick action.

Rent process for integrated properties

Here’s how the rent process works (example rent: $1,500).

Step 1: Flex confirms your rent amount

Starting on the last day of the month, Flex confirms your rent amount—either directly from your property’s system or based on the amount you and your property manager provided.

💡 Example: Rent confirmed at $1,500.

Step 2: Make your 1st payment

Flex requires a 1st payment before submitting rent to your property.

Autopay ON: Flex automatically charges your 1st payment. If it fails, we’ll retry up to 5 times.
Autopay OFF: You’ll need to pay manually in the app by 3pm ET on the 5th.

💡 Example: You pay $909, which includes your portion of rent + a 1% bill payment fee. (Credit card payments include additional processing fees.)

Step 3: Flex submits your rent

Once your 1st payment is successful, your full rent amount is submitted through Flex to your property (including extras like utilities or fees).

💡 Example: Flex submits $1,500 to your property.

Step 4: Your 2nd payment is scheduled

After rent is submitted, Flex schedules your 2nd payment and membership fee on your chosen 2nd payment date (default: 15th). You can move this date to another day within the same month in the app.

💡 Example: On the 15th, Flex collects $606, which includes your 2nd payment + membership fee. (Credit card payments include additional processing fees.)
