AppFolio is for 500-unit portfolios. Avail is basic. Nothing in between was built with AI — until now.
Generate lease agreements, move-in inspection reports, rent increase notices, and eviction warnings in seconds. Just describe the situation — RentPilot writes the document.
Tenants text maintenance requests like they always do. RentPilot auto-converts every message into a tracked work order with priority, status, and vendor assignment.
Link your bank account and RentPilot automatically matches Zelle, ACH, and check deposits to the right tenant and unit. No manual reconciliation spreadsheets.
Get notified 90, 60, and 30 days before any lease expires. RentPilot drafts the renewal offer or non-renewal notice and sends it with one click.
Rent control updates, habitability standards, and landlord-tenant law changes in your city — surfaced automatically so you're never caught off guard.
See occupancy, rent collection rates, maintenance costs, and net income across all your units in one clean view — no accountant required.
Tell RentPilot: “Month-to-month lease for Unit 2B, $1,850/month, tenant is Sarah Chen, no pets, move-in May 1.” Get back a state-compliant lease with all required disclosures. Ready to e-sign.
AppFolio and Buildium charge $200–$500/month and require 50+ units. Avail is free but basic. RentPilot is the only AI-powered option for small landlords.
