Outstanding tenant accounts are a heavy drain on a rental property business.
Because there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether a debt can be collected, debt collection agencies typically adjust their fees 
accordingly, and take a large percentage of what they collect.
There is another option.
TVS has teamed up with Fidelity Information Corporation, a collection agency specializing in tenant debts to help landlords collect debts directly from tenants without paying a contingency fee.
This service is essentially an online, self-service collection agency, where landlords supply the information, and Fidelity sends out collection notices to delinquent tenants. The notices come from a bona fide collection agency, which often prompts the tenant to pay right away. The landlord pays only a low fee for the cost of the letter, and is free to keep any money collected.
