One rent ledger for every way tenants pay.
Track bank transfers, checks, Zelle, and Venmo in one ledger. Confirmed sender patterns can match routine payments automatically. New or unclear activity stays reviewable, and manual records remain available. Rentlane Pro is $8.99/month on iOS.
What the ledger keeps clear
Who's paid
Landlord-reviewed paid, partial, late, or unpaid status across each lease.
Payment history
Bank transfers, checks, Zelle, and Venmo recorded against the right tenant and lease after review or manual entry.
Late fees
Lease-based late-fee status calculated for landlord review.
Balances
Per-tenant balances with partial payments rolled into the shared lease total.
Receipts
Receipts for payments recorded in the ledger.
Reports

How the matching works
After a sender-to-tenant pattern has been confirmed, a future routine payment from that sender can match automatically. New or unclear activity stays reviewable, and any payment can be entered manually. Connected-account timing and transaction details vary by bank and payment provider.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a spreadsheet?
Rentlane keeps payment records, reminders, receipts, and reporting together. Confirmed sender patterns can match routine payments automatically; new or unclear activity stays reviewable, and manual records are always available.
What payment methods does it track?
Tenants pay landlords directly by bank transfer, check, Zelle, Venmo, or another method. Rentlane organizes the records instead of moving or processing rent. Routine payments from a sender-to-tenant pattern the landlord has confirmed can match automatically. New or unclear activity stays reviewable, and checks or unsupported payments can be recorded manually. Rentlane adds no payment-processing fee, although banks or payment providers may charge their own fees.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. Rentlane is an iOS app. Join early access to be first in line.
How fast does a connected-account transaction show up?
Timing and transaction details vary by bank and payment provider. Rentlane does not guarantee immediate availability or a suggested match.
Can tenants see what they owe?
Yes. Tenant-facing views show balances and payment history tied to the lease.
What happens if a payment is late?
The workflow can calculate lease-configured late-fee status for landlord review and support reminders after the grace period.
Can it generate receipts?
The workflow includes receipts for payments recorded in the ledger.
