My husband and I have been landlords on Furnished Finder (opens in new tab) for five years, so we really value tools that make property management easier and more professional for both us and our tenants. That’s one reason I decided to try Baselane for online rent payments. I like using Furnished Finder partner tools because they help streamline the process and add another level of trust for travelers.
What we appreciate about Baselane is that it offers the kinds of tools real estate investors look for, but in a way that still feels practical for independent landlords with one or two properties. It’s not just about collecting rent online. The built-in banking, bookkeeping, tax reporting, and payment tools make it easier to keep everything organized in one place.
My first experience using Baselane rent payments
The rent payment setup process is straightforward for both landlords and tenants. I did have a couple “how does this work?” questions during setup, so I called Baselane support (opens in new tab). They were great to work with and answered my questions clearly, which put me at ease knowing they'd be helpful if anything came up. I really loved the tenant payment link I could text or email my tenant during the booking process. As someone new to Baselane, that helped me get comfortable with the platform quickly.
What my tenant liked about it
My tenant had just sold her house out-of-state and was relocating to be near family, so having a simple payment option she could set up remotely mattered. She liked the $0 ACH option, the ability to pay by credit card if needed, and the rent payment reminders in the tenant dashboard and by email. For me, that’s a big part of why this worked so well. It felt easy on my end, but it also felt convenient and professional for my tenant.
Both landlords and tenants want a smooth booking process, and Furnished Finder’s tenant screening (opens in new tab), state-specific leases (opens in new tab), and online rent payment (opens in new tab) tools all help make that possible.
Why I’d recommend it to other landlords
As a landlord, I’m always looking for tools that are easy to use, make sense for my business, and help create a better experience for tenants. Some of the setbacks we experienced with other payment tools were daily limits, mandatory payment fees for the tenant, slow payment processing, and the lack of rent reminders. With Baselane, I set up the rent schedule and let Baselane’s automatic messaging do the rest. I receive email notifications about each phase of the payment process and so does our tenant.
I’d definitely recommend Baselane to other landlords, whether they manage one property or several. It’s easy to use, creates a smoother payment experience for tenants, and helps keep rent collection and financial records organized in one place.
To start using Baselane, log in to your Furnished Finder account and navigate to Landlord Tools.
