Never Forget — and Never Follow Up Manually

Stop chasing rent. Set it up once, and we handle the reminders automatically.

Automatic Rent Reminders

Get reminders sent to your tenants before the due date. No more wondering "Did my tenant pay?"

  • Customizable timing (e.g., 3 days before)

Automatic Overdue Notices

No awkward calls needed. The system automatically sends overdue notices at intervals you set.

  • Sent automatically when rent is overdue
  • Configurable intervals (e.g., every 7 days)

Bank Details Included

Your banking details are automatically included in every reminder. Tenants have everything they need.

  • Set once, included in all emails
  • No manual copying and pasting

Full Email & Contract History

  • See every reminder and contract email sent
  • Timestamps, subjects, activity, and status logged

The Sweet Spot Between Agent Software and Spreadsheets

Agent Software

Too complex. Built for agencies managing hundreds of properties. You don't need all those features.

Rent Base

Just right. Simple enough to use, automated enough to save you time. Built for private landlords.

S

Spreadsheets

Too manual. You have to remember to send reminders, track payments, and update everything yourself.

Everything You Need to Manage Your Rentals

Everything You Need — Nothing You Don't

Not as complex as agent software. Not as manual as spreadsheets. Built for landlords with 1–10 properties. If you can use email, you can use Rent Base.

  • Tenant contact, ID, address, and profile notes
  • Lease period, rent, deposit, occupants, pets, and utilities
  • Tenant rating, payment behaviour, warnings, and red flags
