## Housters Reviews
  ### 1. I rely on Housters to manage my properties efficiently.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** jeffrey d. | Landlord, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Housters?**

Housters is a great way to track properties I own and those I manage. In a quick view I can see which tenants owe me money vs. who is up to date. It allows me to keep my leases and other tenant information all in one place. It has a rent report feature that I use often to share with tenants and my attorney that shows all invoices paid and outstanding. I also like that it applies rent payment to the oldest invoice first.

**What do you dislike about Housters?**

My main criticism is that it does not upload to Quickbooks online.

**What problems is Housters solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can see all of the properties I own in one screen shot and quickly see which tenants have not paid rent yet. I can also see the properties I manage for other landlords and track them as well. I can also take pictures of my receipts and record other expenses within the app making tax time a lot easier.

  ### 2. My Essential Tool for Efficient Property Management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marjai R. | Marketing Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Housters?**

Housters has been a game-changer for managing my quadplex property for over 8 years! Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to track everything from rent payments to maintenance requests. I particularly appreciate the maintenance request feature, which allows my tenants to submit issues directly through their own dashboard. This transparency helps keep everyone informed about request updates and streamlining communication in one place instead of having to keep up with texts from tenants! Plus, it’s super affordable—there's no need for frills for me, just solid functionality. Overall, I highly recommend Housters for efficient property management!

**What do you dislike about Housters?**

It’s difficult to manage the invoicing if you need to make edits.

**What problems is Housters solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. Streamlined Communication for Maintenance Requests
2. Rent Payment Tracking
3. Centralized Management
4. Tenant Dashboard Empowers Them

  ### 3. Been using this software for years and loving it!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven V. | HMI Studio Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2022

**What do you like best about Housters?**

I can use the software across platforms. I use it on my tablet, 2 phones and online. It's a seamless transition between them and I am very pleased with the responsiveness. I have used Quicken and a number of others and I am most pleased by this one. Whenever I have a question, concern or suggestion, the group is very responsive to my email and gets back to me often within hours. Since I use multiple platforms, I hope that they are getting a wide range of insight on the performance. I love this program and it makes it very easy for my accountant too when I run all the year end reports or use the reports to audit for anything missing. Super loving it.

**What do you dislike about Housters?**

A good portion of my tenants are older and not so tech-savvy. I don't want to be reminded that they haven't been invited to Housters or that I can set up online payments for them so much.

**Recommendations to others considering Housters:**

Not overly complex and a support system that is very responsive to suggestions and needs

**What problems is Housters solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being across platforms is great. I have the business phone and can email/text receipts for payments made as soon as that is done. That saves me from giving paper receipts to them. I have my receipt scanner at home, so I do my end-of-day business on the laptop at home. I can save and send the leases to tenants whenever they have questions or need a copy. Reports at the end of the year to give my accountant for the taxes saves a lot of hassle. Also, the reports help me do my own auditing and help me track profit/loss for each property and overall.

  ### 5. Living with Housters

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Housters?**

It gives me a single spot to manage the rent and maintenance related cost associated with my apartment. I don't have to haggle with my renters. 

**What do you dislike about Housters?**

The website charges me around $5- $10 for each amount I collect from my renters or basically any transaction that goes through Housters. I wish the fee was lower. 

**Recommendations to others considering Housters:**

If you are going to sub-let or rent your apartment then try this website. It will really help you when you won't have to hold your renters accountable anymore.

**What problems is Housters solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm managing my renters, insurance, deeds and accounting through Housters. I have noticed that I no longer need to haggle or remind my renters myself. The website reminds the renters about the due dates automatically.
