Tenant Payment Limit Errors

Fix payment limit errors including 'payment unsuccessful', 'exceeds the limit', and grayed-out payment methods by requesting a rent payment limit increase.

Written by Samuel

Payment limit errors occur when a tenant has reached the maximum payment amount allowed for their payment method. Common errors include:

  • "Your payment could not be processed due to an internal error"

  • "You cannot pay this amount using this method because it exceeds the limit"

  • Payment method is grayed out and cannot be selected

How to Fix It

Request a rent payment limit increase by following the instructions in Request a Limit Increase for Rent Payments.

Note: Credit and debit cards have a significantly lower limit than ACH payments. If the tenant is near their credit card limit, switching to ACH may resolve the issue without needing a limit increase.

A grayed-out payment method can also mean that method (ACH or Credit/Debit Card) is disabled in the tenant portal permissions — check the lease and property settings to confirm it is toggled on.
