Questions people ask
Can you split rent into payments?
Yes. Apps such as Flex and Split Pay pay your landlord in full on time, then collect from you in two or more payments during the month. Livble and Jetty Rent do the same at partner properties.
Do I need my landlord to agree?
Not for Flex or Split Pay, which pay your landlord by their usual method. Livble and Jetty Rent only work at properties that offer them.
Can I split my mortgage payment?
Split Pay lets you split rent, a mortgage or a car payment in two. Most other apps here are for rent only.
Will splitting rent build my credit?
It can. Flex can report on-time rent payments if you turn it on, and Livble offers rent reporting. Late payments can be reported by some apps, so read the terms.
