How it works

A guided rental workflow, not another blank spreadsheet.

RentalKey starts with the records owners already need, then adds controlled tenant, tradie and support workflows as the property moves through the rental lifecycle.

  1. 01

    Set up the property

    Add the address, property type, state, documents and minimum-standard reminders.

    • One property record
    • State-aware prompts
    • Owner-controlled setup
  2. 02

    Prepare to lease or re-lease

    Check readiness, photos, documents and compliance evidence before listing workflows are used.

    • Readiness check
    • Missing-evidence prompts
    • No legal certification claim
  3. 03

    Create the tenancy record

    Record tenant details, lease dates, rent amount, bond reference and invitation-based portal access.

  4. 04

    Record rent manually

    Keep an owner-entered ledger with rent periods, paid-to dates, payer and receiver details.

  5. 05

    Manage repairs

    Capture maintenance requests, access notes, quotes, approvals, invoices and completion evidence.

  6. 06

    Track responsibilities

    Use state-aware reminders and evidence links without replacing official legal guidance.

  7. 07

    Invite people safely

    Give tenants and tradies limited portal access only when needed and keep the owner as coordinator.

  8. 08

    Renew, vacate or export

    Run exit checklists, archive tenancy records and export evidence without overwriting the history.

Start with one property

Create the owner account first. Invite tenants and tradies only when the records are ready.

Create an owner workspace, add a property and keep the records and next actions in one reliable place.
