The problem

admin is killing
your lettings.

Every hour your agents spend chasing payslips, calling references and waiting on credit checks is an hour they are not placing tenants. Every one of those days is a vacancy day, and your landlords feel each one of them.

rento is not another listings portal. It runs the process itself, end to end, for your whole team.

Hours manually vetting every application
Credit, identity and bank-verified income run on every applicant
Chasing references and payslips over WhatsApp
Documents uploaded once, checked and stored
Printing, signing and scanning leases
OTP e-signatures with a sealed audit trail
Vacant days while paperwork circulates
Pre-approved tenants ready to sign
A spreadsheet per agent, a WhatsApp group per landlord
One view of the whole book for the whole team

What rento is

one pipeline.
listing to keys.

  1. 1

    Your listings, live

    Properties on rento, synced from PropData if that's where they live today.

  2. 2

    Tenants apply online

    Search, book viewings and apply. No forms to email around.

  3. 3

    Vetting runs itself

    Credit, identity and bank-verified income on every applicant.

  4. 4

    Leases signed digitally

    Your template, OTP signatures and a tamper-evident audit trail.

  5. 5

    Structured handover

    Keys, inventory and move-in once the lease completes.

What you get

built for agencies
that run a book, not a listing.

Your whole book, one screen

every property, every agent, every landlord.

Properties, rent value and occupancy across the agency. Which suburbs and property types your book actually sits in. Who is carrying the listings, and who has capacity.

  • Portfolio totals and occupancy at a glance
  • Listings by city and property type
  • Staff workload per agent
Rento agency property portfolio: totals, rent value, occupancy and staff workload

Your requirements, enforced

set the bar per property. rento holds it.

Proof of income, employment verification, landlord references, verified tenants only. Applications that don't meet the listing's requirements can't be submitted, and the same checks apply to every participant, guarantors included.

  • Requirements checked before submission, not after
  • Drafts, submissions and decisions in one queue
  • Co-applicants and guarantors held to the same bar

Every desk, right permissions

admin, manager and agent are real roles.

Invite your team and they join under your agency with their role already set. Each one sees exactly what it should, enforced on the server rather than hidden in the interface. Deactivate a departing agent and their access ends immediately.

  • Staff invitations with roles and reporting lines
  • Landlord mandates, commission and assigned agent per relationship
  • Deactivate in one click

Signed in days, not weeks

your lease template, digitised.

Leases are generated from your agency's own clauses, signed with a typed signature confirmed by a one-time PIN, and sealed with a cryptographically chained audit trail. Under ECTA, ordinary rental leases are valid with exactly this: a standard e-signature plus an audit record.

  • Your clauses, generated per agreement
  • OTP-verified signatures tied to a real inbox
  • Lease signing included on every plan

Who actually runs the checks

you don't have to
take our word for it.

rento doesn't grade tenants on its own opinion. The checks that decide an application come from the bureaus and banks your industry already relies on.

TransUnion

Credit checks, knowledge-based identity authentication and mobile-number-to-ID matching.

TruID

Income and affordability read from the applicant's actual bank data, not a declared figure.

Paystack

Card and QR payments through a licensed processor. Rento never stores card details.

Microsoft Azure

Hosting, private document storage and database on enterprise cloud infrastructure.

  • POPIA-conscious data handling
  • ECTA-valid e-signatures with an audit trail
  • SA ID validation and an 18+ age gate
  • Private storage, short-lived signed links
  • Dedicated review track for foreign passport holders

Pricing

Questions agencies ask

the short answers.

Do we have to leave PropData?

No. Rento connects with your own PropData credentials and brings your residential listings across. Keep your feed where it is and add rento on top.

Who pays for tenant verification?

The applicant. Verification is a tenant-side product (R99 or R249 once-off), so the checks that protect your landlords never come out of your commission.

Are the e-signatures legally valid?

Yes for ordinary residential leases. Under ECTA a standard electronic signature plus an audit record is sufficient, and rento seals an OTP-verified signature and a chained audit trail into every signed PDF.

What does the trial include?

The full platform for two months: unlimited listings, the verified tenant pool, lease signing and your chosen number of seats. No card is needed to start.

Why do you ask for our FFC and CIPC documents?

Agencies on rento carry a verified badge that tenants and landlords can trust. We check that every agency is a registered, compliant practitioner before we show it.

Can our landlords use rento too?

Yes. Landlords you manage are covered by your agency subscription. Landlords who run their own properties can subscribe separately at R299 per month.

agency rento'd.

Your first 2 months are free. No card, no contract, your listings stay where they are.
