For security deposits, once the lease has been finalized, the Qira fee is 1% -2.5% of your total lease value, depending on your financial profile.

When do I pay the Qira fee?

The Qira fee is paid only after you have finalized your lease agreement. Once you have connected your bank to our platform and accepted the repayment schedule, Qira will notify you and your landlord that you can commence with the lease signing.

Does Qira cover my late or missed rent payments?

No. Qira is not an insurance for the renter. If you are late or miss rent payments, your landlord will likely commence with eviction proceedings. In fact, in order for landlords to make a claim against Qira for lost rent payments, they will need to provide proof of eviction proceedings. So make sure to pay your rent every month, on-time!

Do I pay my rent to Qira or the property manager?

Rent is always paid to your landlord, as usual. Qira is only part of the lease approval process. Once Qira gets you approved, we step away and you interact with your new landlord.. Of course, we'll still be here if you have any questions for us.
