Who It Is For

Who Rentalize Core is for

Rentalize Core is the property and tenancy management system for any organisation managing 25 to 5,000 homes in Ireland or the UK: tenancies, rent collection and arrears, repairs and contractors, safety and regulatory compliance, tenant and landlord portals, reporting and Talia. Plans start at EUR 199 a month (GBP 169 in the UK).

Property management companies and letting agents

Client money and landlord statements, RTB registration and rent review rules in Ireland, the Renters' Rights Act, Section 8 grounds and the PRS Database in the UK, open banking and direct debit rent collection, and a landlord portal so owners stop ringing the office.

Housing associations and approved housing bodies

Ireland has around 450 approved housing bodies and most are Tier 1 or Tier 2, managing under 300 homes. Two thirds of England's registered providers own fewer than 1,000. Enterprise housing systems are priced and implemented for the other end of that scale. A 60-home association on Core Growth pays EUR 695 a month, is live in weeks, and gets the same tenancy, rent, arrears, repairs and compliance engine as a 2,000-home portfolio. Add Rentalize Select only when allocations need AI scoring and an audit trail.

Local authority housing sections

Tenancy management, HAP tenancies, RTB registration and renewals, safety certificate tracking, repairs with SLAs, and reporting exports for boards and regulators. Runs alongside an existing housing system or replaces it, and pairs with Select for allocations. Rentalize Select has processed more than 6,000 applications with zero downtime through intake peaks, including a single week of 4,600.

Developers, funds and specialist operators

Build to rent lease-up, multi-entity and multi-site portfolios from one login, student accommodation, facilities and contractor teams, and investor reporting with live occupancy, arrears and compliance scores.
