Rental Management software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Rentec Direct?** I like that the software can keep all the information on my rental properties in one place, and help me manage the issues surrounding rentals. It tracks the tenants, and the work needed for each unit. It also has a good tenant screening feature. **What do you dislike about Rentec Direct?** I have issues with the way that Rentec manages adding new tenants to a unit. It is difficult to change one tenant for another. I also do not use the expense tracking features, since I use quickbooks to manage that part. **Recommendations to others considering Rentec Direct:** It is a good system. I use a third party expense management system (quickbooks) for the finances, but for tracking the rents, and managing the rentals and work done to the units, it is a good system. **What problems is Rentec Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?** I started using the system to manage my rental properties, and to communicate with my handyman who works on several different properties at the same time for me. I also use the included tenant screening features ### 2. Great software; Easy to use; Easy to learn **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Rentec Direct?** Rentec is great. I use the software for properties we have in Florida and it is easy to use, comprehensive and all encompassing. Great for property management. **What do you dislike about Rentec Direct?** There are some advanced functions that Rentec does not have, but this is not a deal breaker. **Recommendations to others considering Rentec Direct:** Give Rentec a try. You will not be disappointed. Great software for property management. **What problems is Rentec Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing multiple property with this software. Helps with leases, evictions, etc. The benefit is that all our information is organized and streamlined. ### 3. Feature Rich and Inexpensive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason H. | Investor, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Rentec Direct?** Rentec makes my job a breeze. The software contains pretty much everything I need to run my business. The accounting platform for managing my properties is nice and easy to learn. The built in tenant screening makes it easy for me to screen potential tenants, and the built in ACH gives me a hands off approach to rent collection. Another useful feature is how they automatically publish my vacancies to my website, they even provide me a website for free now (which I haven't yet used, but the demo looked really cool). They also publish my vacancies to sites like Zillow, Trulia, Rent.com and a bunch of others as well. When I have a vacancy, with Rentec's help I get it filled extremely fast. Finally, I'll say their customer support is A+. I've never had trouble reaching a live human, they speak my language, and know their software really well. I call often and can request the same person, who knows my setup very well. **What do you dislike about Rentec Direct?** In the past it seemed like features took a while to develop, but lately they have been rolling out lots of new stuff. As such, no dislikes. **Recommendations to others considering Rentec Direct:** They offer a free trial. Use it and see if you like the product as much as me. **What problems is Rentec Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?** The software saves me time, simple as that. I don't have to process cash and checks anymore because most of my tenants automatically pay online via ACH. For the few properties I manage for others, I can give them owner access to the account to view the property performance. My tenants get to login and use their portal provided by Rentec for checking their account balance, paying their rent, and submitting maintenance requests. It's really convenient for them and me. ### 4. Rentec Direct User for 3 Years **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madeline M. | Settlement Accounting Team Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Rentec Direct?** The software is very affordable per unit and you are able to have multiple properties. The additional customizations that they have added over the past years are a huge benefit and they even send you a summary quarterly of all the updates that have taken place. **What do you dislike about Rentec Direct?** The product does not display much financial reporting and does not tie into QuickBooks or Quicken. **Recommendations to others considering Rentec Direct:** Always call their support line if you do not understand something. Katherine slowly got to know me through so many questions that i had for her. **What problems is Rentec Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of multiple tenants all at the same time - [View Rentec Direct pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/rentec-direct/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+11%3A55%3A11+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=32dc96c9-3994-45d4-b492-3293e5fbe5bc&secure%5Btoken%5D=13786523bb3149ce1e4d1638b5f456c6a07c4b63e61dafcaec497609a6d7abbd&format=llm_user) ## Rentec Direct Features **Leasing** - Vacancy Advertising - Rental Applications - Tenant Screening - Lease Templates - Document Management **Platform Interoperability** - Pre-Built Connectors **Building Operations** - Maintenance Service Requests - Property Inspections - Service Portals - Building Announcements - Resource Reservations **Platform Additional Functionality** - Payment - Portal - Mobility - Cloud **Accounting** - Property Accounting - Online Payment - Company Financials - Certificates of Insurance (COI) - Dashboards **Platform Performance** - Reporting **Operations** - Tenant Portal - Integration with Rental Payment Solution - Lease Application Management - Tenant Screening - Amenity Management - Accounting Module - Maintenance Management - Listing Syndication **Agentic AI - Property Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Rentec Direct Alternatives - [AppFolio](https://www.g2.com/products/appfolio/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,018 reviews) - [Buildium](https://www.g2.com/products/buildium/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (258 reviews) - [TenantCloud](https://www.g2.com/products/tenantcloud/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (276 reviews)
