Rentframe

Property management for landlords who own a handful of units, not four hundred.

Most property software is priced and built for portfolio managers. A landlord with six doors ends up running the whole thing out of a spreadsheet and a phone, chasing rent by memory and keeping signed leases in an email folder. Rentframe is the software that fits that landlord: rent tracking, automatic reminders, maintenance requests, expenses and a document vault, in one self hosted install they own outright.

One time license. No monthly fee. Runs on ordinary shared hosting.

Live demo

Landlord dashboard (/app): readonly-landlord@rentframe.test / RentframeDemo!
Resident portal (/portal): readonly-renter@rentframe.test / RentframeDemo!
Admin panel (/admin): readonly-admin@rentframe.test / RentframeDemo!

These demo logins see everything and change nothing, so the portfolio you land on is the same one the next visitor lands on. The restriction is a property of the demo accounts, not of the product: your own installation has no such limit.

What the landlord gets

A portfolio view. Properties, units, leases and renters, with occupancy and arrears visible on the dashboard rather than buried in a report.
Rent that chases itself. Charges are generated from the lease. Reminders go out before the due date and again when a payment runs late, by email and optionally by SMS.
Payments and receipts. Record part payments, late fees and the method used. The renter gets a receipt automatically.
Maintenance from logged to resolved. A renter reports a problem from the portal, it lands in the queue with a priority, and both sides see every status change.
Expenses and profit. Log expenses against a property and see net income per property, not just gross rent.
A document vault. Leases, certificates and identity documents, with expiry alerts before a gas safety certificate or an insurance policy lapses. Documents are never served off the disk: every download goes through an access check.
Password recovery that works. Landlords, staff and residents can all reset their own password by email, and a landlord can issue a new portal password for a resident who is locked out.
Reports. Rent collected, arrears ageing, expense breakdown and occupancy over time.

What the renter gets

A portal of their own at /portal. Their lease, what they owe and when, their payment history, their documents, and a form to report a problem. No app to install and no account to create: the landlord sends an invitation.

On the phone

A Flutter app for iOS and Android is included, with full source. It signs in to the same installation as the dashboard, so there is nothing to sync and no second subscription: landlords get rent, arrears and maintenance alerts on the move, and residents report a problem with photos from where the problem is.

You can try the Android build from the demo site: https://rentframe.foundrcode.com/#app. The iOS project is in the package and builds on your own Apple account.

What the operator gets

A separate admin panel at /admin, built in Filament, for whoever runs the installation:

Branding. Logo, favicon, accent color, product name and email sender, applied across the marketing site, both dashboards and all fourteen email templates. No code edit and no asset rebuild.
Legal pages. Terms, privacy policy, cookie policy and refund policy, each editable as HTML from the panel and published to the marketing site. Sensible starting text is seeded.
Accounts and users across every landlord on the install.
Integration keys for mail, SMS and chat, stored in the database rather than in a file the buyer has to edit over FTP.
License verification.

The admin panel is a separate address with its own sign-in, and it is never linked from the marketing site or from either dashboard. The three surfaces are kept strictly apart. The landlord dashboard contains no link into the admin panel, because a landlord who is not the operator would only meet a permission error. An automated test enforces that.

Installation

Install the dependencies and build the assets once (three commands, documented step by step), then upload and open the site. It redirects to a web installer that checks the server requirements, tests the database connection before it writes anything, verifies the purchase code, creates the first landlord account and owner, and then locks itself so it cannot be run a second time. From there on there is no command line and no file to edit by hand.

Requirements: PHP 8.3 or newer, MySQL 5.7 or newer (MariaDB and SQLite also work), Composer, Node.js, and the usual Laravel extensions. The package is source only, so dependencies are installed and the front end is built once with three commands before the browser installer takes over. The documentation covers it in full, including what to do if your host gives you no shell access.

Built on

Laravel 13.29, Filament 4.12, Livewire 3.8 and Tailwind CSS 4, on PHP 8.3 or newer. Multi account isolation through a scoped tenancy layer, with a REST API behind Laravel Sanctum. The code is unencrypted and unobfuscated, formatted with Laravel Pint, and covered by 517 automated tests including dedicated tests for account isolation, document access and the installer.

Documentation

Included as a multi page HTML manual with a sidebar, and as a PDF copy. It covers installation, a rebranding checklist, every integration, the scheduled tasks and a troubleshooting section, and each step states the outcome you should expect to see.

Third party services and costs

Rentframe installs and runs with none of them. Every integration below is optional, is off by default, and is documented with drop in alternatives:

Email. Any Laravel mailer works, including plain SMTP from the buyer’s own host. A PostaLynk driver is bundled as one option among several.
SMS reminders. Twilio and Termii drivers are included. Without credentials, SMS is inert and email reminders still go out.
Live chat. A Supoora widget, off by default.

Each of these is a separate sign up with that provider. All fees for third party services are billed by that provider under the buyer’s own account and are not included in the price of this item.

License

A Regular License covers one installation. Source is provided in full. The included license verification is checked against the purchase code at install time, with a grace period so a network problem never takes a buyer’s site down.
