Features
From the first application to the monthly deposit, the work happens in one place instead of across email, a spreadsheet, and your bank.
Bank transfer or debit and credit card. A one-time payment, or autopay so the rent just shows up each month.
Set the rent once. The invoice goes out monthly and the reminders handle the follow-up.
They pay, check their history, read a full ledger, and request repairs from one place.
Share a link to take rental applications, review them, and get the lease signed electronically with an audit trail.
Tenants report issues with photos. You see every request and where it stands.
Managing for someone else? Each owner gets a login that shows what was collected, the fee, and the net.
How it works
Three steps from signing up to money in your account. Most landlords are done before lunch.
Put in the address and the rent. That is the whole setup.
They get a link to a portal with your name on it, ready to pay.
Reminders go out, autopay runs, and the money lands in your account.
For landlords
Rent comes in on its own. You see what was paid, what is late, and what to do next, all from one dashboard. When something needs your attention, you get a nudge instead of a surprise.

For tenants
No checks, no stamps, no driving a payment over. Tenants pay from a phone, save the method they like, and turn on autopay so rent is never late by accident.

“Rent used to mean a stack of checks and a drive to the bank. Now it lands in my account and I get a text when it clears.”
“I set autopay for my four units and stopped chasing anyone on the first of the month. The reminders do the awkward part for me.”
“Moving over from my old service took an afternoon. My tenants liked paying from their phones, and the late payments mostly stopped.”
