# Ask your agent about your rent

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Rent usually shows up as a specific merchant name or a transfer to a landlord. Ask your agent about rent and it'll call get\_merchant\_history on your landlord's name (or get\_spending\_summary filtered to RENT\_AND\_UTILITIES) and give you a clean answer.

## How the agent answers this

Your agent calls `get_merchant_history + get_spending_summary`.

When the merchant string is consistent (property manager, portal like Zillow), merchant history is cleaner. When it varies, use the category filter.

## Variant prompts

-   > “How much rent did I pay last month?”
    
-   > “Did my rent post this month? When?”
    
-   > “Total rent paid this year, and any late-fee charges on top.”
    

## Setup

Sign in at [bankbridge.money](/login), connect your bank, paste the pre-filled snippet into your agent of choice (see [setup guide](/guides/how-to-connect-your-bank-to-claude)), then ask one of the prompts above.
