Rentr, a lettings management solution for private landlords and tenants, is now available to download on iOS and Android. 

The platform helps private landlords and tenants rent property securely and ensures that all the latest checks and legislation are completed and managed for both parties.

Landlords can manage all aspects of their rental properties in one cloud-based system, including reviewing tenant details and request referencing services such as Right to Rent checks and maintenance reports.

Prospective tenants and landlords can organise property viewings from within the app and agree to and electronically sign for Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements.

Deposits and rental payments can also be managed within the system.

Adam Blaxter, director of Rentr, said: “In a climate of increasing scrutiny, taxation, and regulation the pressures on landlords to be compliant with local and national regulations are increasing, as are the basic costs of managing a property in the private residential sector.’

“Letting and property management agencies have a range of software products and third-party professional services to draw upon: the agency space has a full ecosystem of standards and service-providers. We identified that the direct landlord space was not supplied with the kind of software services that are available to agents.

“We recognised that mobile technology could be used to take the pain of letting and managing a property away from direct landlords and their tenants. Mobile technology could connect ‘direct landlords’ directly to their tenants via a mobile app: a single simple place to take care of their property.

“We created Rentr anew from the ground up: a well-designed piece of lettings and property management software, carefully built to capture all the process-flows and regulatory and administrative requirements of the UK private rental sector, delivered as a mobile app for landlords and their tenants to use on a day-to-day basis would be a game changer.’

“Rentr operates at a fraction of the costs of traditional and web-based agents, and charges no fees at a percentage of a landlord’s rent. In fact, due to the unique app-based access Rentr provides, almost all of the services available via Rentr are less costly than equivalent services you can find elsewhere.”
