Everything Rentmark does

The complete list, including what each part deliberately does not do. All of it is on the single $19.99/month plan — there are no paid upgrades and nothing on this page is an add-on.

In one paragraph

Rentmark is property management software built for landlords who own their units rather than manage other people’s. It generates the lease, tracks the rent and issues the receipts, gives each tenant a portal to pay and report problems from, documents condition at both ends of the tenancy, keeps the books per property, and publishes vacant units to a public marketplace. It never holds your money.

Rent tracking and receipts

Every active lease generates its own rent schedule, month after month, without you opening anything.

  • A due date created automatically for each lease, each month, at the amount on the lease
  • Paid, partial, late and unpaid states visible per tenant and across the whole portfolio
  • One-click PDF receipt with the property address, tenant, amount and payment date
  • Late-payment reminders by email, and a formal notice when a reminder is no longer enough
  • Full payment history kept per tenant — no reconstructing a year from bank statements

What it does not do: Rentmark records payments; it does not hold them. Tenants pay you directly through your own payment details.

State-aware lease generator

A residential lease built from your own property, unit and tenant data, with the state-specific parts filled from a rules table covering all 50 states and DC.

  • Security deposit cap and return deadline pulled from your state's statute, with the citation printed on the document
  • The standard protective clauses included as a matter of course: attorney's fees, quiet enjoyment, sex offender registry notice, counterparts
  • Renter's insurance requirement configurable per lease, with the minimum coverage you set
  • Responsibility matrices for utilities, maintenance and keys — who does what, written down before it is disputed
  • Electronic signature included, with no per-document fee
  • Addendum generator for anything that changes mid-tenancy

What it does not do: A strong starting document, not a substitute for a local attorney — city ordinances add rules on top of the state.

Tenant portal

Your tenants stop texting you, because there is somewhere better to go.

  • Each tenant signs in to see their lease, their balance and their next due date
  • They pay through your own link — Stripe, PayPal, Zelle or your written instructions
  • They report a maintenance problem with photos, and you are notified immediately
  • They message you in a thread that stays attached to the tenancy
  • They download their receipts and documents themselves
  • Runs in any browser — nothing to install, on either side

Applications and screening records

A public application link, and one place where every applicant's file lives.

  • Send an application link to anyone — details arrive structured, not as a photo of a form
  • A Leads → Applicants → Tenants funnel so you know where each person stands
  • Credit, background and eviction results recorded against the applicant, with documents attached
  • Your approve or decline decision logged for every applicant — consistency is the legal defence

What it does not do: You record screening results; you do not order the report from inside Rentmark. The applicant runs their own check.

Move-in and move-out inspections

The deduction you will want to make in two years is won or lost on the day the tenant moves in.

  • Room-by-room condition checklist for both ends of the tenancy
  • Photos and notes on anything that is not in perfect condition
  • The tenant co-fills the move-in inspection from their own portal, so it is not your word against theirs
  • Move-out compares against move-in, side by side
  • Itemized deposit settlement produced at the end, with your state's legal return deadline on it

Deposit rules for your state

Accounting and profitability

Which property is actually making money, answered without a spreadsheet.

  • Income captured from every rent payment you record
  • Expenses logged by category against a specific property
  • Income by month across the portfolio, and net position per property
  • Rental yield computed per property — the comparison you cannot eyeball
  • CSV export shaped for an accountant or a Schedule E

What it does not do: Rental bookkeeping, deliberately — not a general ledger and not a tax filing service.

Run the numbers before you buy

Maintenance and incidents

Every repair request in one list, with a status, instead of scattered across three messaging apps.

  • Requests logged with priority and status, from you or from the tenant's portal
  • A full comment thread per request, so the history survives the repair
  • Instant notification when a tenant files something
  • Attachments and photos on both sides
  • A vacancy checklist on the property record for turnovers

Listings and Rentmark Rentals

Publish a vacant unit to a public marketplace and take applications from it.

  • Photos, amenities, map and description on a public listing page
  • The listing carries its own application link straight into your funnel
  • Listings are indexed and shareable — you can post the link anywhere

What it does not do: No syndication to Zillow, Trulia or Apartments.com. Rentmark Rentals is its own marketplace.

List a property

Documents and forms

Everything signed, generated or uploaded, filed against the right property or tenant.

  • A forms library for the documents a tenancy actually needs
  • Leases, addenda, receipts, notices, inspection reports and deposit statements stored together
  • Unlimited and unmetered — no per-document charge
  • A shared Home Guide the tenant can read instead of calling you about the boiler

AI assistant

Ask your own portfolio a question in plain English.

  • Who is late, what a property earned last year, when a lease ends — answered from your real data
  • Reads only your own organization, never another landlord's
  • Read-only: it answers, it never changes your records
  • Dictation supported, for when typing is the slow part

Who this is built for

Rentmark is aimed squarely at the landlord with somewhere between one and forty doors, who is not a management company and does not want software designed for one. That constraint shows up everywhere in the product: a flat price instead of per-unit billing, one plan instead of tiers, and an interface you can learn in an afternoon rather than onboard onto.

If you are managing units on behalf of third-party owners, billing them per door and needing trust accounting, this is the wrong tool and we would rather say so here than after you have paid.

Frequently asked

Does Rentmark collect rent for me?

Rentmark tracks it; you collect it. You put your own payment details in Settings — a Stripe payment link, PayPal, Zelle, or written bank instructions — and each tenant sees a Pay button in their portal that uses them. The money goes straight from your tenant to you, and Rentmark records the payment, updates the balance and generates the receipt. Rentmark is never in the middle of your money.

Can Rentmark generate a lease?

Yes. The lease generator builds a residential lease from your property, unit and tenant data, and adapts the state-specific parts — the security deposit cap and its return deadline — from a per-state rules table covering all 50 states and DC. It includes the standard protective clauses (attorney's fees, quiet enjoyment, sex offender registry notice, counterparts) and an optional renter's insurance requirement. It is a strong starting document, not a substitute for a local attorney.

Do my tenants need to install an app?

No. The tenant portal runs in any browser on any device. Tenants sign in with their email address, see their lease, their payment history and their next due date, pay through your link, report a maintenance problem with photos, and message you. There is a native app available, but nothing requires it.

Can I document move-in and move-out condition?

Yes, room by room, with photos and notes on both sides of the tenancy. The tenant can co-fill the move-in inspection from their own portal, which is what makes it hold up later. At move-out, Rentmark produces the itemized deposit statement with your state's legal return deadline on it.

What does the accounting side actually give me?

Income is captured from every rent payment you record. Expenses are logged by category against a property. From that you get income by month, net position per property, rental yield, and a CSV export shaped for your accountant or a Schedule E. It is rental bookkeeping, not a general ledger — deliberately.

Can I list a vacant unit?

Yes. Publishing a unit creates a public listing on Rentmark Rentals with photos, amenities and a map, plus a shareable application link. Applicants land in a Leads → Applicants → Tenants funnel where you record screening results and your decision. Rentmark does not syndicate to Zillow or Trulia.

Is there an AI assistant?

Yes, an in-app panel that can read your own portfolio and answer questions about it — who is late, what a property earned, when a lease ends. It reads; it never writes changes to your data, and it only ever sees your own organization.

Can I import what I already have?

You enter properties, tenants and leases yourself, and that part is free and unlimited — there is no import gate. Everything you put in can be exported back out as CSV whenever you want.

Adding your properties is free

Build your whole portfolio — properties, units, tenants, leases — and generate the lease itself, without paying. The subscription turns on the day-to-day.
