We are so excited to announce that Gables Residential has new rent payment services created with you in mind!
We request that all paper check rent payments are mailed to the below address rather than being dropped off at the leasing office. Allow for 7-10 business days delivery prior to the first of the month.
WIPS is a payment option that enables our residents to make a cash payment to a PayNearMe store location. A great alternative to purchasing a money order or cashier’s check. PayNearMe will send an electronic payment directly to the associated Gables apartment account. The payments are sent electronically, and receipts are given immediately. Most payments will post to your account by the next business day if made before 7pm EST. However, payments can take up to 3 business days to populate in your Gables account.
WIPS
• Obtain a WIPS Account Number: Contact the leasing office of your community to request your WIPS account information. Make sure they have your current email address.
• Review WIPS Account Email: Once you request the WIPS account number, an email is generated by our customer service representative and sent to you with specific instructions that will include a website link to find the nearest location who accept WIPS payments.
• Obtain Your Ledger Balance: It is important that you know the correct ledger balance due. This amount can be confirmed in your Gables Rent Café’ Resident Portal page. www.gables.com/residents
• PaySlip or Mobile Barcode: You will need one of these items to complete your payment at the vendor location. This is included in the WIPS account email.
• Fee: A minimal fee will be collected by the PayNearMe location for each transaction.
• Additional Instructions: Are included in the WIPS account email or can be found at PayNearMe.com.
How to Set Up AutoPay on Rent Cafe
We’re excited to announce that we ’ re now able to offer autopay set-up for your monthly rent. We look forward to better serving you and hope this payment option will be a beneficial and convenient service for you.
1.) LOG INTO RENT CAFE
Log into your rent cafe similar to how you would to pay your rent.
2.) SELECT AUTOPAY SET UP
When you log in you will arrive at your home page. Select the Auto-pay Set Up tab.
3.) ENTER PAYMENT, START, AND END DATE
Select the Payment Account for your auto-pay. Then enter the date you would like the auto-pay to start and end.
4.) ENTER PAY DATE, PERCENTAGE AND MAX PAY
Select the day the payment will draft for payment. Then enter 100% in the Percentage. Next, enter in the Max Pay Amount. This amount will be the max that will pull from your bank. Keep in mind the average monthly charge will only show your rent and NOT water. It is recommended to do a max pay more than what you pay on average for rent and water The auto-pay will only draft what is due if your max pay is higher than what is owed
5.) HOW TO KNOW WHAT TO ENTER FOR MAX PAY
Unsure of what to enter for the Max Pay? Select Recent Activity to view your previous payments. If your average payment is $2000 then it is recommend to do the max pay as $2300 for good measure. Please note if the max pay is set up for less than what is owed the auto-pay will not be able to draft from the bank. For example, if your max pay is set at $2000, but you owe $2030 the auto-pay will not draft from the bank.
Should you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to the Leasing Office.
