How does a property manager handle rent collection and cheques?

Rent is usually paid by post-dated cheques - commonly 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 instalments - which the manager holds and banks on each due date, chasing any that bounce. From 2026 Dubai is rolling out digital monthly rent payments to replace cheques. A good manager collects rent, issues receipts, and sends you a transparent owner statement each month or quarter.
