About RentHQ

RentHQ is cloud-based property management software for landlords and property managers. It offers tools for managing tenants, tracking rent payments, handling maintenance work orders, and generating financial reports. The platform includes mobile apps for iOS and Android and provides client portals for landlords, tenants, and contractors.

RentHQ, a product of First Byte Solutions Ltd, is a cloud-based property management software designed for landlords and property managers. The platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools to streamline rental operations, including tenant and lease tracking, work order management, and detailed financial reporting. It supports both residential and commercial properties. Key features include client portals for tenants, owners, and contractors, mobile apps for iOS and Android for on-the-go management and inspections, and online tenancy applications. Pricing is published transparently on a per-property monthly basis with a free two-month trial available, and discounts are offered for pre-payment. Support is provided through email, online help files, and video tutorials. The software integrates with accounting tool Xero and cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Being able to handle inspections on the mobile app without needing an active internet connection is a total lifesaver.
  • The system actually gets faster at drafting tenancy agreements the more you use it, which saves heaps of time. .
  • Giving tenants and contractors their own free logins stops the constant back-and-forth phone calls and emails.
  • Having a dashboard that puts rent arrears and expiring leases right in your face keeps you from missing anything.
  • It handles both residential and commercial properties, so you don't need different software if your portfolio is a mix.
Cons
  • The specialized legal templates for tenancy agreements are currently only available for users in New Zealand and Australia.
  • You might find the interface looks a bit dated compared to some of the flashier, modern tech startups.
  • The most helpful automation features, like disbursements, are really only useful if you’re a professional manager, not a DIY landlord.
  • Setting up the bank feed integration can be a bit of a headache depending on who you actually bank with.
  • The software relies heavily on YouTube videos for training rather than offering live, one-on-one onboarding support
