Collecting Rent For Your Investment

Rent collection is one of the most critical functions in protecting your Lakeland investment, and at Lakeland Homes and Realty, LLC, it is a responsibility we take seriously every single month.

When you have a resident who pays on time, the process is straightforward. When you do not, having a knowledgeable team in your corner makes all the difference. Our staff understands Florida tenant law and the proper notice procedures required at each stage of the collection process. If a resident moves past the grace period outlined in the lease, we issue a formal late rent notice and collect all applicable late fees alongside the outstanding rent balance. We move quickly, because delays in rent collection directly affect your return on investment and your cash flow as a Polk County property owner.

In the event that a resident stops paying altogether, Lakeland Homes and Realty, LLC will guide you through the eviction process and work to re-rent your property as promptly as possible. Our goal is always to minimize your vacancy and protect the financial performance of your rental home.

To keep payments flowing consistently, we give residents access to a secure online portal through Rentvine that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We actively encourage residents to pay online because faster payments on their end mean faster owner disbursements on yours. You will no longer have to chase rent, field late-payment calls, or question whether your investment is working for you. That is what Lakeland Homes and Realty is here to handle.
