To get started paying your rent with Baselane, you will need an official invitation link. Baselane will always send this link directly to you, and it may arrive in one or more of the following ways:
By email
By text message
By both email and text message
Shared directly by your landlord (optional, but not required since Baselane will send it regardless)
Please do not try to create an account directly on www.baselane.com. You must wait to receive your official invitation link from Baselane.
Step 1: Activate your account
Click the invitation link.
Create a password for your account.
If you are using a Gmail address, you can select Continue with Google. Make sure to use the same email your landlord used for your invitation.
Step 2: Confirm your details
Enter your first and last name.
Verify your account by entering your US mobile phone number (no VOIP numbers). You will receive a verification code instantly via text.
Step 3: Review your lease and payments
Once logged in, you will see your rent payment schedule and lease details.
If you notice any errors in rent or lease information, please contact your landlord directly, as only they can make changes.
Step 4: Set up payments
Add a payment method: bank account (ACH)
The ACH fee is waived when your landlord collects rent into a Baselane banking account.
If your landlord is collecting rent into an external bank account, a $2.00 fee applies per ACH payment.
Your landlord determines whether this fee is covered by them or passed on to you.
Debit and credit card payments:
Payments made by debit or credit card include a 3.49% processing fee.
Additional options:
If applicable, you may also have the option to split your rent into smaller weekly or bi-weekly payments. Learn more about Split Payments here.
Once your payment method is set up, you can pay rent directly through Baselane and optionally enable Auto Pay to avoid missing a payment or incurring late fees.
Step 5: Explore additional features
Rent Reporting (optional): You can choose to enroll now or at a later date to help build your credit history. Learn more about Rent Reporting here.
