Rentlab on a phone: monthly cash flow and recent rent payments

Effortless rent tracking.

Collecting rent for your basement or duplex doesn't have to be a tense guessing game. The system manages the math and the schedule for you.

  • Every tenant's rent line is created for you each month, due on their exact day.
  • Auto-Log records reliable tenants as paid on the due date, without you opening the app.
  • Unpaid rent turns red the day after it's due, and late fees sit on the tenant's own running ledger.

Tax season on autopilot.

Keep your personal finances strictly separate from your property expenses, with tracking built for your phone and designed to take the load off your memory.

  • Snap a photo of a hardware store receipt and the amount, date, vendor, and category are read for you. Included with Pro.
  • Categorize an expense by tapping a badge, not by typing into a text field.
  • Generate an IRS-ready Schedule E in one click, with every receipt image appended for your accountant. The PDF is free; the receipt appendix comes with Pro.

Professional grade, beginner friendly.

Get the financial clarity of a veteran investor without making your renters jump through hoops.

  • Your tenants never have to download an app or connect their bank accounts.
  • When a tenant moves out, an itemized deposit statement is generated for you: what was held, what you withheld and why, and the refund to return.
  • Core tracking, on-screen reports, and the Schedule E PDF are free for your first two units.

Built for real homes, not corporate portfolios.

Most property software is a bloated enterprise tool designed for 100-unit complexes, and spreadsheets drift over time and need constant manual updating. Rentlab strikes the balance your first property needs.

  • Zero tenant onboarding

    Your tenant never creates an account, downloads an app, or pays a fee to pay you. You run your finances quietly in the background.

  • Total financial privacy

    No bank logins, no third-party connections scraping your account. You stay in control by uploading statements on your own terms.

  • Designed for the move

    Snap receipts on your phone right from the hardware store parking lot. Clean, tappable badges make logging an expense quick without typing on a phone keyboard.

Landlords, in their own words.

Finally stopped dreading tax season. Generated my Schedule E in minutes instead of days.
