Property management for the people who actually own one.
tenant8 is the calm operating system for independent landlords with 1–50 units. Collect rent, screen applicants, dispatch maintenance, and keep your residents happy — from one warm, opinionated dashboard.
Set up in an afternoon. Run it for a decade.
No data migration team. No 30-day onboarding. Just the three steps every landlord actually has time for.
Import or type, your call.
Drop a spreadsheet, point us at AppFolio or Buildium, or just type a few units in. Address, rent, lease dates — that's the floor.
They onboard themselves.
One email each. Renters set up auto-pay, accept the lease in their portal, and start submitting maintenance from their phone. You watch.
Mornings, in 8 minutes.
Open the dashboard with coffee. See what collected, what didn't, what needs a decision. Approve, reply, dispatch. Close the laptop.
Every landlord’s job, in one calm place.
Six tools, designed to feel like one. No tab-switching, no copy-paste between systems, no spreadsheet of last resort.
Rent that actually shows up
ACH, card, Apple Pay, cash-at-Walgreens. Auto-pay for the 80% who set it once and forget. Real-time deposits, no 5-day float.
Applications, screened in plain English
Credit, eviction, employment, prior landlord — all on one card. Approve, decline, or ask for more, with a one-click message.
Maintenance that closes itself
Renter submits a photo, you tap Dispatch, your plumber gets a job sheet. Status updates flow back to the resident automatically.
Leases without the lawyer
State-compliant templates, e-signature, automatic renewal reminders 60 days out. Storage that survives your laptop dying.
Books your accountant doesn't curse
Per-property P&L, Schedule E export, expense capture from email receipts. QuickBooks sync if you must.
Compliance that doesn't bite
Fair-housing-safe templates, audit logs on every decision, security-deposit accounting that meets every state rule we've checked.
A morning view that respects your morning.
No 14-tile vanity wall. Just what collected, what’s late, who needs a decision today.
Good morning, Elena.
Built for the people on each side of the lease.
Most software assumes only one of you matters. We don’t.
Run your portfolio without the late-night panic.
Everything Elena, our 14-unit landlord, said she wished she’d had three years ago.
- Rent in your account by 9 AM, not Friday
- One inbox for every resident message
- Tax-ready books at year-end, not a shoebox
- Never miss a renewal or inspection again
Pay rent like it’s 2026, not 2006.
Marcus, our renter persona, called it “the first landlord app I haven’t deleted in a week.”
- Auto-pay with a 4-day grace warning
- Submit a maintenance request in 30 seconds
- On-time payments build credit, optionally
- A real human inbox for your landlord
Quiet, profitable mornings — in their words.
I went from spending Saturdays in a Google Sheet to closing my laptop by 9:15 most weekdays. The renters love it more than I do, which is the part I wasn't expecting.
On-time collection went from 84% to 97% in the first quarter. The auto-pay reminders just sound like a person who likes us.
Maintenance used to mean a 9 PM phone call. Now my plumber gets the job in his inbox and the resident gets the ETA. I sleep.
Honest pricing. Same software for everyone.
No annual contracts. No hidden per-transaction fees on ACH. Move up or down whenever you want.
