Rental debt collection
Rental Debt Collection for Multifamily and Single-Family Portfolios
Rental debt collection recovers the resident balances, move-out debt, and eviction costs your internal team has already written off — without turning the process into a resident-relations or compliance problem of its own.
Built for the accounts property teams actually carry.
Generic debt collectors weren't built around property portfolios. Elite Recovery Group (ERG) was. Every account we take on falls into one of four categories property teams already recognize.
Resident balances
Unpaid rent and recurring fees from residents still on the lease.
Move-out debt
What's left owing once a resident moves out, including damages and cleaning charges.
Eviction costs
Legal and court costs from an eviction that were never recovered.
Aging portfolios
Accounts old enough to be quietly dragging down net operating income.
Rent collection companies that treat every account the same tend to get the same result: slow recovery, resident friction, and no visibility for the portfolio owner. ERG's rental debt collection process is built account-type by account-type instead.
