CHICAGO, IL –
Chicago-based The Habitat Company, a leading U.S. multifamily developer and
property manager, has become one of the first national property management
companies to roll all of its market-rate rental properties into an electronic
rental payment system.
Habitat implemented its
new online payment program earlier this spring across its five-state,
8,800-unit rental portfolio to benefit its residents as well as the
environment.
Habitat first introduced
an online payment-only system to a few properties in 2011. After strong success
with the new payment program, Habitat began to gradually move more of its
properties to electronic rental payment systems and recently revamped its
payment system to make it possible for residents of all of its market-rate
properties to pay from the comfort of their home or anywhere they have online
access.
This move furthers
Habitat’s role as an innovative industry leader. Now, residents no longer have
to spend time physically dropping off payments or waste paper writing checks.
“The Habitat Company is
always looking for ways to positively impact the lives of residents, and
streamlining our payment system achieved immediate benefits as well as
environmental efficiencies,” said Sheila
Byrne, executive vice president of property management for The Habitat
Company.
“Plus, on the back end, eliminating the
administrative and accounting work of processing checks helps free up time for
the Habitat team to better serve the needs of our residents.”
