I already pay my rent online, as well as have an interface to request maintenance or ask questions to the management company. This is in the US. I can pay by direct bank withdrawal for free, or pay a fee to use a credit card.

My apartment complex uses this system: http://www.propertysolutions.com/ As an end-user of the system, I am completely satisfied.

There has been some mention of some companies trying to solve problems in this space. But I return to the fact that this problem is still largely unsolved. My evidence is the fact that almost NO ONE I know pays rent online. If a solution exists it's complete lack of adoption hints at the fact that there are serious flaws in it's execution.
