How to take payment from long-term renters?
I have received an enquiry for a long-term let (6 months), and obviously I am going to offer a very good discount, but my question is: How do you usually take the payment? Requesting the renter to pay the whole 6-month rent in advance, might not be a good option (for the renter). But the other optio...

Some questions about bank transfers
Having used only Rentalsystems for payments since I started up, I have now decided to switch to accepting bank transfers instead. I get plenty of enquiries but this year so far only one has turned into a booking. I suspect that some of the reasons could be: - I offer only payment by credit card. - R...

PIMS rental management system versus bookingtracker
I was wondering if anyone has experience of both these management systems (PIMS rental management system and bookingtracker or bookingtracker.com). I have looked at the features of both, and would appreciate to know which one could be considered the better one.

I had originally planned to use Paypal, but because I am resident in Qatar, it hasn't until recently been possible to receive money (only send).

Last minute change-of-mind results in no booking
I am wondering why quite a few inquiries this summer, which were just about to turn into bookings, instead turned into nothing. What I mean is that out of all the people who sent follow-up emails (after getting complete price quote) saying basically "ok, where do I go to do the booking?", ...

After a 10-day delay, I finally got a reply to my support ticket from Rentalsystems. Their reply did not resolve my issue, as it claims things that simply aren't true. My issue is that before they updated their website, it was possible to choose whether you wanted your ad to appear on Villarenters o...
