If they don’t, it can be an incredibly stressful, costly, and timely process for commercial properties to collect the debt.

Challenges for Commercial Rent Collection Agencies
In-house debt collection—specifically from unpaid invoices—can be a major problem for commercial leasing companies. After 90 days, these debts becoming increasingly more difficult to collect and, more often than not, internal accounting teams are unlikely to have the experience and tools necessary to deal with delinquent accounts receivable management.
Special training and education are needed to understand debt collection best practices. This can be difficult to provide to an existing team as it takes time that most agencies simply don’t have. While most agencies might think it cost effective to hire new employees, this isn’t actually the case. Onboarding, creating new infrastructure, attorney cost, credit bureaus, and research tools are all required as a part of the hiring process and can end up costing a commercial property more than the debt they need to collect.
Hiring a well-respected, experienced commercial rent collection agency can cut down on cost, time, and overall stress that can arise from trying to collect unpaid invoices from multiple tenants.
