Unpaid rent is one of the most common headaches for landlords and property managers. When tenants break their lease or move out without settling their balance, the financial impact can be significant. Rent Recovery Solutions (RRS) is one company that steps in to help property owners recover these losses. But what exactly do they do, and how do their services compare to other options like Advanced Collection Bureau?
This article will explore Rent Recovery Solutions, how they operate, and what landlords can expect from working with them. We’ll also break down key differences in approach and explain when it might be time to consider a more personalized debt recovery partner.
What Is Rent Recovery Solutions?
Rent Recovery Solutions is a third-party debt collection agency that focuses on recovering unpaid rent and housing-related balances. Based in Georgia, they primarily serve property management firms and landlords across the U.S. RRS typically comes into the picture after a tenant has been evicted, moved out without notice, or left a unit damaged and unpaid.
Like many agencies, RRS operates on a contingency basis—meaning they only collect a fee if they recover the money. They also report to major credit bureaus, use skip tracing to locate former tenants, and provide online reporting dashboards for clients.

How Rent Recovery Solutions Works
Once a landlord or property manager signs up with RRS, they submit the delinquent account details—typically including the lease, payment history, and outstanding charges. RRS then contacts the tenant using phone calls, mail, and sometimes email or text. Their goal is to either negotiate a payment or encourage settlement through credit reporting leverage.
Like other agencies, they are subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which governs how and when they can contact debtors. This ensures a baseline of legal compliance and ethical standards.
Still, some property managers have raised concerns about responsiveness and the level of personalized service provided by larger firms like RRS. If your community values regular updates, one-on-one account management, and local support, a more boutique agency may be a better fit.

Where Rent Recovery Solutions Falls Short
While RRS is an established name in rent recovery, their one-size-fits-all approach may not work for everyone. Larger portfolios may benefit from their high-volume processing, but smaller landlords and boutique property managers might find themselves lost in the shuffle.

When to Use a Debt Collection Agency
If your tenant has moved out, gone silent, or owes a significant balance that hasn’t been paid within 30 to 60 days, it’s time to act. Delays reduce your chances of successful recovery.
Rent Recovery Solutions and agencies like ACB can both help—but the right fit depends on your property size, communication needs, and preferred level of service. If you want hands-on support and a proactive collections strategy, ACB offers a high-touch approach that many landlords find more effective.
