Replace {name}, {amount}, {month}, {dueDate} and {business} with your own details – or let the FeeSend app fill them in for every member automatically.

When to send

At least 30 days before the new rent applies, or as your stay agreement requires.

Tips

  • If you're adding something (purifier, better Wi-Fi), mention it; it makes the increase easier to accept.
  • Tell all residents on the same day.
  • Update the rent in FeeSend before the new month so reminders show the right amount.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Increasing rent mid-month.
  • Raising rent for one resident and not others in the same room type without a reason.
