Outcome
Collect rent on time, every month
Put rent on autopilot with pre-authorized payments, books that post themselves, and one live view of who's paid — so the first week of the month stops being about chasing money.
Chasing rent is a job nobody wants
e-Transfers to match by hand, a spreadsheet that never quite reconciles, and a round of awkward follow-up texts every month. The bigger your portfolio, the more your first week disappears into payment processing instead of property management.

- Awkward follow-up texts every month
- Your first week lost to payment processing
With Kera

How Kera gets you there
Pre-authorized payments
Tenants set up recurring rent once by pre-authorized bank debit (PAD) or card, per lease, including who covers the transaction fees. Rent then arrives on schedule with no monthly chasing.
Online rentThe books post themselves
Every payment lands in real double-entry books automatically, with the management fee swept at the same time. No e-Transfer matching, no month-end reconciliation marathon.
AccountingKnow who's paid, instantly
Your Receivables view shows paid, pending, and overdue across every door as payments post — not at month-end — so arrears surface the day they happen.
Online rentDeposits handled right
First and last month collected at signing, security deposits tracked in their own account, capped to one month's rent in Ontario, with the return-window deadline seeded as a compliance task.
Online rent
Rent on rails
Tenants set up bank debit or card once and rent arrives on schedule, every month, without a single follow-up text.
One view of every door
Paid, pending, and overdue across the whole portfolio in one place, so you stop being a payment processor the first week of every month.
Cash and cheque, still handled
Record manual payments in seconds and they roll up into the same real-time picture as everything else.
Deposits tracked to the day
Security deposits sit in their own account, with return-window deadlines seeded as compliance tasks.
Built for how Canadians pay rent
Pre-authorized debit (ACSS/PAD) is a first-class payment method, deposits respect the RTA's one-month cap, and there are no late-fee gimmicks to stay onside with TRESA. Rent that just works — for you and your tenants.
Frequently asked questions
How do tenants pay rent through Kera?
Tenants set up payment once from their portal — by pre-authorized bank debit (PAD/ACSS) or credit card — and rent is collected automatically on schedule each period. You can also record cash, cheque, or e-Transfer payments manually, and every payment rolls up into the same real-time view.
Does rent automatically show up in my accounting?
Yes. Rent payments post to your double-entry books the moment they're collected, and the management fee is swept at the same time. There's no separate matching or reconciliation step.
Can I see who hasn't paid?
The Receivables view shows paid, pending, and overdue across every property, plus an accounts-receivable aging view, so arrears are visible the day they occur rather than at month-end.
Does Kera charge late fees to tenants?
No. Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act doesn't permit rent late fees, so Kera doesn't add them. The focus is on making on-time payment effortless instead.
