How It Works
Five minutes to set up.
Minutes a week instead of hours.
Add your property
Enter your units. Tenby checks your state's laws automatically and lets you invite tenants via email in seconds.
Tenants join in one tap
Send an email invite — they tap, register, and they're linked to their unit. No portal hunting. They can read their lease in plain English from day one.
Work on your terms
From the coffee shop, from the lake house, between meetings. Manage when it works for you, not when the phone rings.
Features
One app. Everything handled.
Tenby doesn't just log what happens — it does the thinking for you.
Rent collection
ACH and card via Stripe. Late fees auto-calculated to your state's cap and grace period. Full ledger. Zero data entry.
Compliance engine
Upload a lease, get it checked against your state's laws. Deposit rules, notice periods, disclosures — enforced automatically, all 50 states + DC.
Tenant screening
Credit, criminal, eviction. Income verification. FCRA-compliant end-to-end. State application fee caps auto-enforced.
Smart maintenance
AI sorts requests by urgency, suggests next steps, estimates cost. You make the call with full context instead of guessing.
Financial autopilot
Snap a receipt — amount, vendor, category extracted and mapped to Schedule E. Real-time P&L per property. One-tap tax package.
Your operating partner
Late notices, tenant Q&A, renewal offers, reports — drafted and ready for your approval. You set the rules, Tenby runs the plays.

Built by a Landlord
I built Tenby because I needed it.
I manage my own rental properties. I was using one app for rent collection, another for maintenance, a spreadsheet for expenses, and Google to figure out what my state actually requires for security deposits.
None of them talked to each other. None of them knew my state's laws. None of them helped my tenants understand their lease without calling me.
So I built the app I wanted to use. Tenby handles compliance automatically, gives tenants their own experience, and automates the financial work that used to take me hours every month.

FAQ
Questions
How is Tenby different from TurboTenant or RentRedi?
They log what happens. Tenby does the thinking. It tells you what to charge, flags compliance issues before they become lawsuits, triages maintenance by urgency and cost, and runs operations on autopilot within rules you set.
How is this different from hiring a property manager?
A PM takes 8-12% of every rent check plus leasing fees and markups. Ten units at $1,500/mo: that’s $18,000+/year. Tenby is $199/year for up to 50 units, with AI compliance and financial automation most PMs don’t offer. And you stay in control.
Do tenants pay for Tenby?
No subscription, no app fee, ever. Tenants get complete access — maintenance requests, lease Q&A, payment history, inspections, Know Your Rights. Standard payment processing fees apply when paying rent (ACH 0.8% capped at $5, card 2.9% + $0.30) — that’s Stripe’s fee, not ours.
Does it work in my state?
All 50 states plus DC. Local overrides for rent-controlled cities like SF, NYC, LA, and Portland. Every lease checked against your property’s specific jurisdiction.
