Tips for Hassle-Free Rent Payments
As someone who’s been renting from Chestnut Holdings for a while, here are some tips I’ve picked up:
-
Set up auto-pay: This has been a lifesaver for me! No more forgetting the rent due date.
-
Pay a few days early: This gives the payment time to process before the due date.
-
Keep confirmation emails: Save these in a dedicated folder in case there’s ever a question about your payment.
-
Update your payment info: If you change banks or get a new card, update your payment information right away.
-
Check your account regularly: Even with auto-pay, it’s good to log in occasionally to make sure everything’s working correctly.
What to Do If You’re Having Trouble With Payments
Life happens, and sometimes finances get tight. If you’re having difficulty making rent payments, Chestnut Holdings has a dedicated “Rent Arrears” section on their website. It’s always better to communicate early if you’re facing financial challenges rather than waiting until you’ve fallen behind.

Bronze in the Bronx
Chestnut Holdings is dedicated to visually and culturally enriching our Bronx neighborhood. One project we have been working on cultivates environmental awareness by designating a specific tree or plant name and installing a custom made hand crafted bronze plaque on the property façade. Each plaque displays an artist’s hand drawing of the tree along with a brief written description that includes related botanical, practical and historical content. Our intention is to deepen our understanding and connection to nature and weave it into the daily life of our community’s residents.
Chestnut and Bronx is Blooming
Residents of the Bronx took part in Claremont Park Day as Chestnut Holdings partnered with The Bronx is Blooming and The NYC Department of Parks and Recreation to engage the community through environmental stewardship and educational activities. The event brought out close to 100 volunteers who enjoyed a great day of helping to beautify and restore Claremont Park. The New York Public Library also joined to encourage attendees to sign up and visit their local branches.
