Rental Rewards and other 3rd party rent payment schemes

CHOICE is looking into the issue of tenants being required to pay rent through Rental Rewards or other rent payment schemes. In an earlier story, we highlighted the case of a woman who was charged a 1.75% fee per transaction by Rental Rewards, a $6.13 weekly payment on top of her $350 rent. She faced a $15 dollar Rental Rewards penalty is she didn’t pay on time. Have you or anyone you know been affected by this issue?

Another bunch of bottom-feeding parasites living off those who need to rent and then use a credit card because they may be short of money…

Their reviews on Product Review are the worst that I have ever seen.

Yes, thanks Mark. To highlight the issue I’m hoping to find people who’ve been told a rent card is their only option, or been given other unreasonable options.
