Recurv
INDUSTRIES · LANDLORDS & PROPERTY MANAGERS

Rent, utilities, and levies,
one mandate.

Recurv puts a tenant's fixed monthly rent and variable utility recovery on one mandate and collects both automatically. Most South African landlords and property managers currently collect rent by EFT, then bill water and electricity recovery separately once the municipal account lands, and chase whatever falls short by hand. With everything on one system, the property team sees the full picture per tenant every month.

WHERE RENTAL BILLING BREAKS

Rent is the easy part, recovery is not.

Five things that make monthly rent and utility recovery harder than it should be for a landlord or property manager.

Utility recovery runs on a separate process from rent

Rent collects on schedule, but water and electricity recovery only gets billed once the municipal account arrives, on its own separate invoice and its own follow-up.

RECURV ·

Recurv's variable-amount mandate covers the fixed rent and the variable utility recovery on the same mandate. Load the utility amount once the municipal account lands and Recurv collects it with the next cycle.

Landlords stay on the hook even when a tenant does not pay the recovery

A landlord remains legally liable for the municipal utility account whether or not a tenant pays the recovery charge, so under-recovery hits the landlord's own cash flow directly, not just the tenant's record.

RECURV ·

Recurv verifies every new tenant's bank account at sign-up and automates the recovery collection itself, reducing how often a recovery charge is missed or chased late.

Levy pass-through for units in a scheme adds a third line item

A rented unit inside a complex or estate often carries a levy that the landlord passes through to the tenant, a third recurring amount on top of rent and utilities, usually tracked separately again.

RECURV ·

Recurv can collect rent, utility recovery, and a levy pass-through together on one mandate, instead of three separate lines to track.

Failed collections take manual chasing

When a rent or recovery collection fails, finding out and following up with the tenant is a manual step repeated every month across a portfolio.

RECURV ·

Recurv surfaces every failed collection with the bank-returned reason in one place, so follow-up starts immediately instead of after manual checking.

Reconciliation happens property by property

Matching bank responses back to individual tenants and properties by hand gets harder as a portfolio grows, and any mismatch delays the monthly close.

RECURV ·

Recurv reconciles every bank response automatically and syncs the result back to the existing back-office or accounting system.

Onboarding a new tenant still means paperwork

Signing a new tenant up for rent and recovery collection often still means a paper or PDF mandate before the first collection can run.

RECURV ·

Recurv onboards a new tenant with a legally binding digital mandate, no paperwork and no PDF chase, so collection can start on the next cycle.

WHAT RECURV DOES

Built for how landlords actually bill.

Five things that change the moment a landlord or property manager moves to Recurv.

01

Variable-amount mandate

One mandate covers the fixed monthly rent and the variable utility recovery, and a levy pass-through where the unit sits in a scheme, collected on the same cycle.

02

Flexible fee model

A landlord or property manager chooses to absorb the platform fee or pass it through to the tenant at collection time.

03

Paperless digital mandates

New tenants sign a legally binding mandate online in minutes, replacing the paper or PDF forms that slow down move-in today.

04

Bank verification at sign-up

Every new tenant's bank account is verified automatically at sign-up, catching the account-number errors that cause a large share of failed collections.

05

Automatic reconciliation

Bank responses are matched to tenant and property records and synced back to the existing accounting system automatically.

QUESTIONS LANDLORDS AND

Questions landlords and managers ask.

Still deciding? Here's what comes up most.

Not necessarily. Recurv focuses on proactively collecting the fixed rent and variable utility recovery on one mandate, rather than reconciling however a tenant chooses to pay. Whether Recurv replaces or sits alongside an existing rental payment platform depends on your current setup, and is worth covering directly in a demo.
