Why do I find out my tenant stopped paying weeks late?
Small landlords with a handful of units discover late payments through chasing, not through dashboards. By the time they know, the arrears are material.
Who has it: Independent landlords, mostly UK, Ireland and US small-portfolio owners.
Evidence
Small landlords describe a tenant cancelling the standing order and only finding out weeks later, once the arrears had already built up.

What they are missing
A bank-feed-connected small-landlord agent that watches the rent account, alerts within a day if rent does not land, drafts the first reminder in compliance with local notice rules, and tracks arrears legally.
