For landlords with 2–20 doors
Stick a QR code on the fridge. Your phone goes quiet.
Tenants report repairs by scanning a code — no app, no login. Your handyman picks a time by replying to a text. You watch it happen from one screen instead of playing middleman.

[RentMaintain] Got it — confirming Thu 9–11am with the tenant now.
That's the whole thing. Nothing for Mike to install.
Managing repairs on a few doors isn't hard. It's just constant.
The 10pm text
"The sink is acting weird." Now you’re playing twenty questions in bed to work out whether it can wait till morning.
The scheduling ping-pong
Your plumber is free Thursday. Your tenant works Thursday. Six texts later you still don’t have a time.
Then it's tax season
Your accountant asks what you spent on repairs. It’s scattered across a year of text threads and Venmo.
Three moving parts. None of them is you.
Set it up once per property. Then it runs.
STEP 01 · TENANT
They scan the fridge
A photo, one sentence, and three yes/no safety questions. Leak, gas or no power rings your phone immediately — everything else waits politely in a queue.
No app · No account · No password
STEP 02 · HANDYMAN
Your handyman replies with a number
The job arrives as a text with the tenant's photos and the times you offer. They reply 1, 2 or 3 — or tap the link — and the tenant confirms. Before-and-after photos go straight into your record.
Nothing to install, ever
STEP 03 · YOU
You just watch it move
New, sent, booked, done — and a nudge on anything that's gone quiet. When the work is finished, the photos and the amount land in a maintenance log you can hand straight to your accountant.
Two taps per repair, typically
What you get to keep
Every repair keeps its own record.
Who reported what, who went, when, what it cost, and the photos — filed under the address, not scattered across a year of text threads. When a tenant disputes a deduction or your accountant asks, it's one link.

Also in the box
The parts of a repair that usually fall to you.
A repair line that answers
Tenants who'd rather call get an assistant, in English or Spanish, that takes down the problem, the home and a good time, and files it like a scanned report. Robocalls have to press a key first, so they never reach it.
En español, too
The repair form, the texts, the status page, the inspection sign-off and the phone line all work in Spanish. You read everything in English, with the tenant's own words beside the translation.
Move-in and move-out, on record
Walk the unit room by room on your phone. Photos are stamped with the time they reached us and the tenant signs off on theirs. At move-out you see what's new since move-in — and the day California's deposit statement is due.
Ask it anything about your repairs
“What did the water heater at Elm cost this year?” “Who fixed the sink last time?” The assistant reads your own records and answers with the repair it came from.
Spend, month by month
Every visit's cost lands in the maintenance log the day it's closed out, charted by month and exported to CSV — with the photos — when your accountant asks.
Emergencies ring your phone
A leak, a gas smell or no power doesn't wait in a queue: your phone rings with the problem read out, and the assistant is on the line for your questions.
The tools that do this are built for 200 doors.
You have four. Here's what it costs to solve the same problem three different ways.
RentMaintain
or $290 a year — two months free
Once you have a second property — unlimited doors after that. Your first property stays free for good.
Maintenance platforms
Per-door pricing that only makes sense past a hundred units — the monthly floor is the problem.
Built for property management firms
A property manager
On $6,000 of monthly rent that's $300–480 — every month, whether anything breaks or not.
Worth it at scale. Heavy for four doors.
It does one thing, on purpose.
You already have somewhere to collect rent and something to keep your books. RentMaintaindoesn't try to replace either — it takes the one job those tools left you doing by hand.

- Do my tenants need to download an app?
- No. They scan the QR code you post in the unit, or open the same link, and fill in a short form in their phone's browser. Nothing to install and no account.
- What if a tenant doesn't want texts?
- Texts are optional and the box starts unchecked. They can still report the repair and follow it on its status page; you coordinate the visit with them by phone or in person.
- Can I keep using my own handyman?
- Yes — that's the point. Add the people you already call. They get each job by text and reply with a number or tap a link. They never need an account.
- Does it work for Spanish-speaking tenants?
- Yes. The repair form, texts, status page, inspection sign-off and phone line all work in Spanish, and you see everything in English with the original beside it.
- What does it cost?
- Your first property is free for good. After that it's $29 a month or $290 a year for every property you have — no per-door fees and no minimum.
- Who can see the photos and records?
- Only you. A tenant's or handyman's link shows just their own repair, and photos are stored privately and shown through links that expire.
Early access · First 30 landlords
Every property free for 60 days, and I'll set it up with you.
I'm looking for thirty landlords with 2–20 doors to use this properly and tell me where it's wrong. After the 60 days it's the normal price — your first property free, $29/month or $290/year if you keep more — and you only pay if you choose to. No card until then.
