NYCHA rent payments online can be a convenient and efficient way to manage your rent payments. You can make online payments 24/7 through the NYCHA website.
To start making online payments, you'll need to create an account on the NYCHA website. This will give you access to your rent account and allow you to make payments online.
NYCHA accepts various payment methods online, including credit cards and electronic checks. You can also set up automatic payments to ensure you never miss a payment.
NYCHA offers a range of benefits for online payments, including reduced late fees and the ability to view your payment history.
What's New
NYCHA has introduced a new rent payment processing service, making it easier to pay your rent. This service launched in January 2018.
One of the key upgrades is the online payment site, which is ADA-compliant and features a host of new features, including 24/7 customer service. You can now pay your rent online using e-check from your checking or savings account with no fee.

Here are some key features of the new rent payment processing service:
- Easier-to-read rent statements

- No-fee e-check payments

What Has Changed?
You may have noticed some changes around here, and I'm excited to share them with you. A new telephone number has been added for paying rent by phone.
One of the biggest changes is the expansion of credit card options. Amex and Discover credit cards are now accepted, in addition to Visa and Mastercard. This means you've got more flexibility when it comes to paying your rent.
If you're paying with a credit card, you'll notice a convenience fee of 2.25% of the payment amount. It's a small price to pay for the convenience, if you ask me.

If you're using a debit card, you'll be happy to know that the convenience fee has been reduced to 0.80% of the payment amount. That's a nice savings!
You can also make one-time online rent payments or set up recurring and automatic payments through our E-Bill website. It's super easy and convenient.
If you're a fan of snail mail, don't worry - we've still got you covered. Our new P.O. Box address for mailing rent checks is now active, starting August 1, 2024.
