Home / Why Rentistry

Letting it yourself works better with one system.

Most self-managing landlords already have a method: a spreadsheet, a calendar, a folder of certificates and several message apps. Rentistry brings those jobs together, so the records and the reminders live in the same place.

The same jobs, two ways

  • Repairs in messages and callsPromises and dates are easy to lose.
  • Certificates in a drawer or inboxExpiry dates in a calendar, if you remembered to add them.
  • Tenancy details in several placesAgreement in email, deposit in another account, notes on paper.
  • Tenants contact you any way they canText, phone, email, at any hour.

What you get from it

Centralised property information

Properties, units, ownership, mortgage and insurance details in one place, archived rather than deleted when you sell.

A clearer overview

The dashboard starts with what needs you: arrears, urgent repairs, overdue checks and tenancies ending, across every property.

More organised maintenance

Repairs move through clear stages on a list or board, with your contractors, appointments and costs recorded against each.

Documents you can find

Files are filed to the property, tenancy or repair they belong to, searchable by name and type, and shared with tenants when you choose.

Dates you can see coming

Certificates, licences and tenancy checks show their status and due dates, and you get reminders before they lapse.

Calmer tenant communication

One conversation per tenancy, with attachments, alongside the records it relates to.

Access from wherever you are

Rentistry runs in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone, and keeps your place on every page.

What Rentistry isn’t

  • It isn’t legal, tax or safety advice. Compliance status reflects the records you enter; check important points with an official source or a qualified professional.
  • It isn’t an accountant. It keeps cash-flow and expense records you can export for one.
  • It doesn’t yet collect rent online, find tenants or carry out referencing. See what’s not in Rentistry yet.
