Property management software

# Rental property management software for landlords

PropAssist keeps your properties, tenants, leases, rent and maintenance in one system. It invoices rent in your currency, shows who has paid, e-signs leases, runs move-in and move-out inspections, and gives every tenant a portal. Start free for 30 days on up to 2 units.

## What it replaces

Most landlords start with a spreadsheet, a folder of signed leases and a WhatsApp chat per tenant. It works for one or two units. After that, rent slips through, lease renewals are missed and nobody can find the move-in inspection when a deposit is disputed. PropAssist puts all of it in one place, with a record of every change.

## Everything included

- **Properties, units & leases.** Track properties, units, tenants and versioned leases with templates, e-signing and a document vault.
- **Rent, invoices & finance.** Auto-generate rent invoices in your currency, record payments, and see tenant balances, P&L and cash-flow — export to CSV/PDF.
- **Maintenance & inspections.** Tenant requests with photos, vendor work orders, preventive schedules and move-in/out inspection compares.
- **Tenant portal.** Tenants sign leases, see their invoices and documents, tell you when they’ve paid, message you and report maintenance, all from their own portal.
- **Agentic “Today” inbox.** A unified Approve / Edit / Snooze / Decline queue. Each item shows the agent’s plain-English rationale and sources.
- **Movable-unit map.** Pin each unit where you deliver it, see them all on one map, get reminded when a pin is missing or old, and book relocations with logged cost.
- **Listings & screening.** Public listing pages, online applications, fair affordability screening (recommendation only) and self-service viewings.
- **Compliance & audit.** Document-expiry warnings, privacy-minded data handling, and an append-only audit log of every change across the platform.

## Who uses it

- **Private landlords** with a handful of flats, houses or rooms.
- **Property companies and agents** managing portfolios for owners, with a team and role-based access.
- **Operators of movable rentals**: caravans, containers, site cabins and tiny homes. [See how movable units work](https://www.prop-assist.co.za/movable-unit-rental-management).

## An assistant that proposes, never acts alone

Each morning PropAssist checks for overdue rent, expiring documents and leases due for renewal, and drafts the reminder, late fee or renewal for you. Anything that touches money or the law waits in your Today inbox for your approval.

## Questions

**What is rental property management software?**

Software that keeps a landlord's properties, units, tenants, leases, rent and maintenance in one place. Instead of spreadsheets and WhatsApp, it invoices rent, tracks who has paid, stores signed leases and logs every repair.

**Is PropAssist suitable for a small landlord?**

Yes. The free trial covers up to 2 units for 30 days with no card, and paid plans start small. The same tools scale to property companies with hundreds of units and a team.

**Does PropAssist work in South Africa?**

Yes. Subscriptions are billed in rand through PayFast, and each organisation runs in its own currency, so it works for South African landlords and for operators elsewhere.

**Can tenants pay or report maintenance through it?**

Tenants get their own portal to sign their lease, see invoices, tell you when they've paid, report maintenance with photos and message your team.
