Rent Log & Receipt Tool for Small Landlords
Track rent per unit and tenant, record payments, generate rent receipts, and see who is late at a glance.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $29 lifetime (free: 1 unit)
- Daily math
- 2 sales every 3 days x $29 = about $19/day; a few extra sales a month take the average past $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $550 - $850 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: Landlords with 1-10 units (rooms, condos, houses, shop lots), including room-rental landlords in Malaysia.
Urgency: Small landlords track rent through bank notifications and chat messages. When a tenant disputes a payment or asks for receipts for their records, there's no clean history to point to.
MVP scope
- ✓ Units and tenants with rent amount, due day, deposit held and lease dates
- ✓ Payment records (date, amount, method, reference) with partial payments
- ✓ Rent receipt PDFs and a pre-filled reminder message link for late rent
- ✓ Dashboard: paid, due and overdue per month; arrears per tenant
- ✓ Yearly income export; Stripe Payment Link unlocks unlimited units
Omitted features
- - Do NOT collect rent or hold deposits
- - Do NOT give legal or tax advice (e.g. on tenancy law or stamp duty)
- - Do NOT store tenants' ID documents
