RentingSmart review
A focused tool for tracking rent, expenses, tenants, leases and property documents.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RentingSmart is a web-based property management platform for landlords managing their own residential rental properties. It brings together rent schedules, payment tracking, tenant invoices and receipts, expense records, tax reports, leases, documents and tenant communication. Its maintenance issue reporting and tenant portal add practical tools for day-to-day landlord and tenant coordination. The product is aimed at individual property investors and small portfolios rather than users seeking a broad, automated rent-collection service.
The plan structure is organized by capability. Starter includes rent and expense tracking, end-of-financial-year tax reports, tenant reminder notices and tenant login. Grower adds cash-flow reports by date or tax category, forms and document storage, a cloud-based platform, emailed rent receipts and bond information storage. Empire adds Excel or PDF report export, access from mobile, PC and tablet browsers, a 30-day money-back guarantee, no long-term contracts and the ability to manage properties from anywhere. The plans use monthly pricing based on the number of properties managed, and the service includes a 14-day trial.
RentingSmart’s strongest fit is straightforward property administration: keeping financial records organized, sharing information with tenants and maintaining lease, bond and maintenance details in one web service. It also supports vacancy advertising through a partner service. The key boundary is rent collection: landlords collect rent themselves, while RentingSmart tracks payments and sends reminders rather than processing direct debit or collecting rent on the landlord’s behalf. Choose it if you want focused tracking and landlord-tenant administration for a small portfolio. Consider another option if online rent collection, native mobile apps or a free plan is essential.
