RentKeeper - Property Management Made Simple RentKeeper is the property management app built for small landlords who want clarity without complexity. Track rent payments, manage expenses, monitor lease dates, and see your property values - all in one clean, intuitive interface. No bloated features you'll never use. Just the essentials, done right. KEY FEATURES Property Portfolio Management Add unlimited properties with detailed info: address, type (single-family, multi-family, apartment, condo), bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, purchase price, and purchase date. Each property gets its own dashboard with quick stats. Unit Tracking Manage multiple units per property. Track occupancy status (vacant, occupied, maintenance), rent amounts, and tenant assignments - perfect for multi-family homes and apartment buildings. Tenant Management Keep tenant info organized: names, contact details, lease dates, and unit assignments. Never miss a lease renewal with built-in date tracking. Rent Payment Tracking Record rent payments with date, amount, and payment method (cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, and more). See at a glance who's paid and who hasn't. Filter by property, tenant, or date range. Expense & Recurring Expenses Tracking Log every expense - mortgage, property tax, insurance, repairs, utilities, HOA fees, and more. Set up recurring expenses for monthly bills that auto-repeat. Categorize for tax season, attach receipt photos for records, and see your true cash flow per property. Zillow Zestimate Integration See current property values powered by Zillow. Know what your portfolio is worth in real-time, not just what you paid for it. Property Photos Add photos to each property from your camera or photo library. Visual records for insurance, before/after repairs, or just quick reference. Cloud Backup & Local Backup Export Your data stays on your device by default. Export backups anytime to save your data locally. Auto-backup keeps your info safe with automatic saves after every change. Restore from backup if you ever need to reinstall. Dark/Light Mode Designed for late-night property management. Clean, modern interface that looks great in light or dark mode. WHY RENTKEEPER? Most property management software is built for property management companies with 50+ units. They're expensive, complex, and overkill for the small landlord with a few properties. RentKeeper is different. It's built for the landlord with 1-10 properties who wants: • Multi-device sync • A simple way to track who's paid rent • Clear visibility into expenses and cash flow • Lease date reminders so renewals don't sneak up • Property values at a glance for portfolio planning • Document storage by property BUILT FOR: • First-time landlords managing their first rental • Small portfolio owners (1-10 properties) • Anyone tired of spreadsheets and scattered notes • Landlords who want mobile-first property tracking RentKeeper - your rental properties, finally organized. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
