Built for landlords who let it themselves.

Rentistry exists to make managing your own rental properties organised, clear and less of a second job.

The job

Letting property yourself means running a small business alongside everything else. Rent to track, repairs to arrange, certificates to renew, paperwork to keep, and tenants who need answers.

In England the paperwork has grown. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 brings more records to keep and more ways to get them wrong.

Why it feels scattered

The usual answer is a mix of tools that were never meant to work together: a spreadsheet for rent, a calendar for dates, a folder for certificates, and several message apps for tenants and contractors.

Each tool holds part of the picture. None of them tells you what needs you today.

The other answer is a letting agent, which suits some landlords and is more than others need for routine management.

The idea

Rentistry puts those jobs in one place and keeps them in order. One record for each property and tenancy. Rent that’s scheduled and reconciled. Repairs with a status. Compliance dates that are visible before they lapse. A portal for tenants so communication has a home.

How we build it

  • What needs you, first.Every screen answers “what needs me?” before “what exists?”.
  • Calm by default.Neutral until something matters, then clear enough to act on.
  • Never colour alone.Every status has a word, so nothing depends on seeing colour.
  • Honest.Features that aren’t connected say so. Compliance status is never presented as certification.
  • Your data stays yours.Walled off per organisation, and exportable whenever you want it.
