State and local programs are distributing billions of dollars in rental assistance to help renters stay housed. If you’re a landlord, you may think of rental assistance as help for renters. But right now, most federal emergency rental assistance programs accept applications from landlords. Where renters can apply, they often need your help to complete the process and make payments to you.

About

The company dinner. The group trip. Apartment utilities. NextBill does the math, splits the bill fairly, and tracks who's paid — so nobody has to be that person on the group chat. • Pay with GCash, BPI, Maya or your bank app: one tap saves the payee's QR to your photos and copies the amount, then shows where to upload it in your app. • Scan a receipt and the total, VAT and service charge fill themselves in. • Split equally or by exact amount, percentage, share or item. • Invite friends with your group's link by WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber or SMS. • No email? Add people by name, like Lola, and mark what they pay. • Bills in 150+ currencies, for every trip. • Works offline: add a bill with no signal, and it's sent when you're back online. • See who owes who across your groups, and settle up in the fewest transfers. • Get a notification the moment someone pays you back. NextBill isn't affiliated with these banks or wallets.
