Dealing with a tenant who has left your property with a trail of unpaid rent, fees, or damages is one of the most frustrating parts of being a landlord. While you may have secured an eviction, collecting the money you’re owed can feel like an impossible task. Small claims court is an option, but it’s often slow, costly, and doesn’t always guarantee payment.
That’s where a professional, specialized collection agency comes in. The Landlord Collection Agency offers a more efficient and impactful solution, built from the ground up to address the unique challenges of recovering tenant debt.
The Landlord Collection Agency Advantage
We understand the specific obstacles landlords face. Our process is designed to be streamlined, effective, and professional, leveraging our decades of experience to help you get paid.
- A Professional Approach to a Difficult Conversation: Our team has over 40 years of experience in tenant debt collection. We know how to communicate with former tenants to resolve their debt respectfully and effectively. This professional distance helps to depersonalize the process, often leading to a quicker and more amicable resolution.
- A Cost-Effective Alternative to Court: Going to small claims court can be a long and expensive process, with no guarantee of payment. The Landlord Collection Agency offers a clear, affordable fee structure:
- Low Upfront Cost: A single, low fee of just $19.95 is charged to create a collection account.
- Performance-Based Commission: We only get paid when you do. We retain a transparent 33% of the funds we recover, and you receive the remaining 67%. This aligns our success directly with yours.
- The Unmatched Power of Credit Reporting: Unlike a small claims court judgment, which often does not appear on a credit report, a collection account is a powerful motivator. The Landlord Collection Agency reports to all three major credit bureaus, negatively impacting a debtor’s credit score. This will stay on their report for seven years from the date the account first became delinquent, which can significantly affect their ability to secure new housing, loans, or credit in the future.
- Dual-Reporting for Maximum Impact: In addition to reporting to all three credit bureaus, all of our accounts are reported to TenantTracks, a consumer reporting agency specifically for landlords. This creates a powerful record of “Negative Rental Performance,” which is invaluable information for other landlords running screening reports. This dual-reporting system provides a strong incentive for tenants to settle their debt and clear their record.
The Process is Simple and Fast
Once a tenant has vacated your property, the process to start collecting is straightforward. Simply create a landlord account on our website, upload the required documentation (like the signed lease and itemized debt ledger), and pay the one-time $19.95 fee. We handle the rest, from sending a demand letter to credit reporting and working to recover the debt on your behalf.
