Octopus Capital Group recovers past-due rent from former tenants and unpaid balances from Section 8 and HUD programs. You give us access to your files. We calculate what you're owed and collect it.
No recovery, no fee. For landlords, property managers, and management companies, in every state.
Illustrative figures. Your report shows real accounts, amounts, and the documents behind each one.
Tenants leave owing balances. Housing agencies underpay and nobody notices. Both add up, and both are collectible.
Balances left behind when a tenant moves out, including tenancies that ended years ago.
Money a public housing authority or HUD program owes you and hasn't paid.
Give us access to your property software and files. We reconcile every ledger and HAP contract, find the balances your team never had time to compute, and send you a report showing what's owed, by whom, and why. You approve, then we collect.
Five steps from access to payment. Your only job is the first one.
You grant us access to your property software and tenant files.
This is your partWe reconcile ledgers, HAP contracts, and agency payment histories.
We document each balance and send you a report to approve.
Tenant outreach, agency claims and appeals, and legal action when it's warranted.
Recovered funds come back to you monthly with an account-level report.
Collecting from a housing agency isn't like collecting from a tenant. It takes the right paperwork, the right citations, and patience with the process.
Our team works inside federal housing regulations every day, so claims get filed the way agencies need to see them, whichever state the agency is in.
A tenant's rent history should follow them, good or bad. We report to the three national bureaus on your behalf, for the tenants you have now and the ones who left owing you.
Each month's rent is reported as a tradeline. Tenants who pay on time build credit they can use, and tenants who fall behind know it will show. It rewards the good payers and gives the late ones a real reason to catch up.
Balances placed with us are reported as collection accounts once the required notices have gone out. For someone who has ignored every letter, a mark on their credit report is often what brings them back to the table. When they pay, the account is updated.
Reporting follows the Fair Credit Reporting Act and state notice rules. Disputed amounts are investigated before anything is reported, and again if a tenant disputes afterward.
We're paid a percentage of what we actually collect. If nothing comes in, you owe nothing.
Hand us the files. We find and document balances your team never had time to compute.
Account-level reporting every month: every contact, every claim, every dollar recovered.
Firm but respectful outreach that protects your standing with tenants and agencies alike.
Read-only access to your property management software, or exported ledgers, leases, move-out statements, and HAP contracts if you'd rather send files. We only look at what we need to calculate balances, and access is limited to the people doing the work.
No. Our agreement covers every property you own or manage, now or in the past, so old accounts are included automatically. You approve each balance before we collect on it.
Tenancies that ended years ago are often still collectible. We check the statute of limitations in the relevant state on every account and tell you which ones are worth pursuing.
Yes. We work with owners and managers across the country and follow the licensing and consumer-protection rules of each state where we collect.
Payments keep going to you as the payee of record. Our job is to document the shortfall, file the claim the way the agency requires, and follow it through their dispute and appeal process until it's paid.
After we've sent the required notices and the dispute window has passed. If the tenant disputes, we investigate first. Once the balance is paid, the account is updated with the bureaus.
Yes. Rent reporting can be set up on its own for the tenants you have today. Ask us about it when you get in touch.

Honest, non-harassing communication with former tenants.
Agency claims handled inside federal housing regulations.
Balances calculated the way a court in your state would expect to see them, including deposit accounting.
