Communication
Payments & Refunds
Rent and deposit refunds are processed through Stripe back to the same card or bank account used for the original payment. Your property manager initiates the refund; Stripe forwards it to your bank or card issuer.
- Credit or debit card: usually 5–10 business days before the refund appears on your statement, depending on your bank. Some banks post it in 2–3 business days; others can take longer. If the refund was issued soon after you paid, it may appear as a reversal (the original charge is removed) rather than a separate credit.
- Bank account (ACH): typically at least 3 business days for Stripe to process, and often 3–5 or more business days before it shows in your account — timing varies by bank.
- While you wait: the portal may show Pending refund. You do not need to pay again; no action is required on your side.
- Still missing a card refund? If nothing appears after 10 business days, contact your bank. Processing fees charged on the original payment are generally not refunded.
Timing follows Stripe’s refund guidance and your financial institution’s posting schedule.
