We didn't think there was a better way to do property inspections, either

Until we learned property inspections - entry, routine and exit - occupy an average of 60% of the time spent on property management. Not to mention the fuel costs, traffic headaches, tenants not showing up, health risks, and endless paperwork that add to the unpleasant equation.

Nothing about traditional property inspections is fun.

Like you, we thought, "Ah well, it is what it is. I have to get it over and done with."

The idea came from a moment of utter frustration

During the first big pandemic lockdown in 2020, Tim Morris - CEO of the self-management platform RentingSmart, was hit with panic and frustration. Imagine he couldn't inspect his rental properties for the unforeseeable future? How would he stay on top of maintenance, reporting and overall protection of his expensive investment?

He had become a self-managing landlord and grew RentingSmart to what it is today from a desire to take charge of his investment properties and look after them with diligence and care... only for that resolve to have gone pear-shaped.

He thought:

"If only I could do my property inspections remotely with the same thoroughness as an in-person inspection. Wouldn't that be nice?"

And, each time he had to write up an inspection report, he thought to himself:

"Why is this taking me so long? Am I the only one who hates this tedious data-entry process?

So, we did a sanity check and asked other RentingSmart users if they shared Tim's sentiments.
This is what they said:

"Arranging and doing inspections is a logistical nightmare."

"I find it so stressful to book an in-person inspection. It's my least favourite part of the job."

"Keeping records of everything is such a schlep."

"As a tenant, I hate it when my space is invaded."

We knew that we wanted to solve these problems for landlords and tenants

We set out to create one app that revolutionizes property inspections for all self-managing landlords - wherever they are, and how ever many properties they manage.

It's time for a change.
