The problem it solves

You spend the first week of every month chasing tenants who forgot rent was due. Late payments mean awkward phone calls and delayed cash flow, and manually texting every tenant takes hours you do not have.

Who it fits

Small landlords and property managers handling rent collection for multiple units.

How it works

  1. The system checks upcoming rent due dates on a set schedule
  2. It pulls the tenant list and due dates from your records
  3. A reminder text or email goes out to each tenant before the due date
  4. A follow up reminder is sent if payment is not logged after the due date
What you get

Tenants paying before you have to ask

Tenants get a reminder before rent is due and another nudge if they fall behind, so payments come in without you following up.

What you get

Automated rent reminders sent to every tenant before and after the due date.

What you need

Works with your property management software or a simple spreadsheet of tenants and due dates.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
