Keeping digital proof of payment helps protect you in the event of billing discrepancies.

Setting Up Automatic Payments (Optional)

If available in your portal, you may enroll in AutoPay to schedule recurring payments.

To set up automatic payments:

1. Navigate to the AutoPay or Recurring Payments section.
2. Select your preferred payment method.
3. Choose your payment date (typically the 1st of the month unless your lease specifies otherwise).

Automatic payments help reduce the risk of late fees due to missed deadlines.

Important: Always ensure sufficient funds are available before the scheduled draft date.

Important Reminders

• Submit rent before the due date stated in your lease.
• Allow processing time for ACH transfers.
• Late fees may apply if payment is not received within the lease’s grace period.
• If you experience technical issues, contact management promptly.
• California law generally requires landlords to offer at least one non-electronic payment option unless the tenant voluntarily agrees to electronic-only payment. Refer to your lease for your property’s specific payment policies.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your payment does not go through:

• Confirm sufficient funds.
• Double-check routing and account numbers.
• Try a different browser.
• Clear browser cache.
• Avoid submitting duplicate payments.
• Contact your bank if a transaction appears pending.

If you believe you were charged twice, notify management immediately and provide transaction confirmation details.

Paying rent online through the Beach Front Property Management resident portal is secure, efficient, and provides clear documentation of your payment history.

By reviewing your balance, confirming payment details, and saving confirmation receipts, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free rent payment process each month.
