What PME Delivers with This Service

Every service we provide is fully managed — no partial handoffs, no grey areas. Here’s exactly what you get.

💻

Online Tenant Payment Portal

Tenants pay rent online through our secure portal — available 24/7 via web or mobile. Online payments improve on-time rates by removing friction and providing tenants with instant confirmation.

⚠️

Late Fee Assessment & Enforcement

Late fees are assessed and collected consistently and in accordance with California law and the lease agreement. We enforce payment policies firmly — without personal confrontation that often leads to awkward landlord-tenant dynamics.

💰

Monthly Owner Disbursement

Owner funds are disbursed monthly via ACH direct deposit, accompanied by a detailed statement showing all income, expenses, fees, and reserves for the period. Predictable, reliable, on schedule.

📊

Complete Payment History Tracking

Full payment records maintained for every tenant — every payment, every late fee, every partial payment documented in detail. This records trail is essential for lease enforcement and eviction proceedings if needed.

How It Works

A clear, professional process from start to finish — so you always know what to expect.

Step 01

Rent Due Date

Rent is due on the first of each month. Tenants pay through our secure online portal or by check per their lease agreement. Automatic reminders reduce late payments.

Step 02

Collection & Processing

Payments are collected, processed, and verified. Late fees are automatically applied for overdue accounts per the lease terms. All transactions are recorded with full documentation.

Step 03

Owner Disbursement

After deducting management fees and any approved maintenance expenses, net owner proceeds are disbursed monthly via ACH with a full itemized statement.
