PayMyRent is an online platform for solving our rent problems. When would I get my rent? Your rent is soon due. Your rent will expire soon, I’m writing to remind you about it. These are horrors of being a tenant. Not having your rent as of when due. Or still very confused where the money will come from.
Sometimes, unexpected contingencies are inevitable. From trying to come up with rent without having to clash with your landlord. Or moving into a new apartment. Going bankrupt before your paycheck comes in. It is a tough game playing in our head once in a year. How do you solve this? How prepared are you for when your rent is due?
With a number of banks, microfinance institutions, and private lenders, lending is a tedious and lengthy process. If it is a private lender, you have to do extensive research or visit each lender one after the other, to decide which one offers the best possible interest rate. By using PayMyRent, users can avoid all these complexities.
