When to Choose Rent Manager
Mid-to-large property managers with diverse, mixed-use portfolios who need deep customization and enterprise-grade accounting
Rent Manager is one of the most feature-rich and flexible property management systems available, backed by nearly four decades of development. Its power comes at the cost of a dated UI and a steep learning curve. Best for experienced operators managing diverse property types who need depth over simplicity.
Strengths
- Extremely deep feature set with 450+ built-in reports and full double-entry accounting
- Handles all property types — residential, commercial, self-storage, manufactured housing, and short-term stays
- Dedicated customer success teams, Rent Manager University training, and comprehensive knowledge base
- Longest track record in the industry (37+ years) with continuous modern development
Limitations
- Interface feels dated with more clicks than necessary for everyday tasks
- Steep learning curve — requires significant training investment for new teams
- Add-on fees and per-user charges make total cost less transparent than advertised
When to Choose RentRedi
Mobile-first landlords managing 1-50 units who want a polished app experience and innovative features like video maintenance
RentRedi delivers the best mobile experience in property management software, and the video maintenance feature is genuinely innovative. At $12/month (annual) for unlimited properties with full features, it is competitively priced. The main drawback is the lack of a free tier and slow rent deposit processing.
Strengths
- Best-in-class mobile app — built mobile-first with excellent iOS and Android experience
- Unique video maintenance requests where tenants record a 5-second clip showing the issue
- Unlimited properties on all plans including the $5/month Start tier
- Strong listing syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, and custom portfolio website builder
Limitations
- No free tier for landlords — cheapest plan starts at $5/month
- Slow rent payment processing (5-7 business days for deposits to reach landlord accounts)
- Struggles with overlapping tenant scenarios like pre-leasing while current tenants occupy
