The operating system for
affordable housing
Rentalize is the operating system for affordable housing. Revenue generating with a paying, referenceable Local Authority customer. We manage 53 housing schemes across Ireland and the UK, and we are raising a Seed Round to expand our team and enter the UK market.
Property management runs on spreadsheets and 20 year old software
The industry has two choices: legacy platforms built before smartphones existed, or consumer tools that cannot handle compliance, reporting, or scale. Local authorities and housing bodies are stuck using generic CRMs never designed for property.
This is a EUR 5.9 billion market where the incumbents are ripe for disruption.
One platform for every type of property manager
Rentalize replaces fragmented tools with a single platform that handles everything from tenant onboarding and rent collection to compliance reporting and predictive maintenance.
Meet Talia AI Assistant
One conversation away from any answer. Talia is the AI layer across the entire Rentalize platform, handling reporting, arrears management, compliance checks, application processing, and operational insights. Not a chatbot. A housing operations expert that understands your data.
Property Portfolio Management
Full lifecycle management for residential, social, and affordable housing portfolios. Track units, tenancies, leases, and occupancy in real time.
Automated Rent Collection
End-to-end payment processing with automated reminders, arrears tracking, and full reconciliation. Landlords get paid faster. Tenants never miss a payment.
Compliance and Reporting
Purpose-built for Irish and EU regulation. Automated DHLGH returns, differential rent calculations, HAP administration, and full audit trails.
Maintenance Management
Tenant-facing request portal, contractor assignment, SLA tracking, and work order management. Reduce response times and maintenance costs by up to 40%.
Tenant and Landlord Portals
Self-service portals for tenants and landlords. View statements, submit requests, upload documents, and communicate, all from any device.
Financial Analytics
Real-time dashboards for revenue tracking, expense management, and financial forecasting. Make data-driven decisions about your portfolio in seconds.
Live and in production

A massive and growing market
Property management technology is one of the most actively funded verticals in PropTech. The market fundamentals are strong and accelerating.
PropTech funding surged to $1.7 billion in January 2026 alone (CRETI), a 176% year-over-year increase. Total PropTech funding reached $16.7 billion in 2025 (Multifamily Dive). Property management SaaS benefits from recurring revenue models with strong retention and LTV:CAC ratios above 3:1.
How Rentalize compares
While competitors bolt features onto legacy codebases, Rentalize was built from day one for modern property management across both private and public housing sectors.

Our journey so far
Founded
Identified the affordable housing software gap. Began building the platform and researching 53 housing schemes across Ireland and the UK.
Platform Development
Core platform built. Established initial relationships with Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies.
Incorporated and Launched
Rentalize Software Limited incorporated (CRO 765596). Launched Rentalize Select. First LA deployment live with affordable housing scheme.
Revenue, Proof, and Reference
First paying LA customer. 4,600 applications processed in one week. 100:1 oversubscription handled. LA now a referenceable customer actively recommending Rentalize.
Seed Round
Raising €2M to build sales team, close 3 to 5 additional LAs and AHBs, and enter the UK market with 35 additional housing schemes.
Why invest in Rentalize
Underserved EUR 5.9B Market
The affordable and social housing sector has virtually no modern software options. Local authorities across Europe still use spreadsheets and generic CRMs. Rentalize is building the category leader.
PM software market by 2033, with the affordable housing sub-segment growing even faster as governments invest in housing infrastructure.
Recurring Revenue, Low Churn
SaaS model with monthly/annual subscriptions. Property managers rarely switch once embedded. LTV:CAC ratios above 3:1. Essential-service software.
Proven Traction
Paying Local Authority customer, 500+ units under management, 4,600 applications processed in a single week. A revenue generating platform with a referenceable customer, not a pitch deck company.
European Beachhead with Global Path
Strong position in Ireland and UK with a clear, repeatable expansion playbook. EU regulation favours compliance-native platforms over US imports. Continental expansion planned for 2027.
PropTech + GovTech Convergence
Rentalize sits at the intersection of two high-growth verticals. PropTech for the technology, GovTech for the government buyer. This dual positioning expands our addressable market.
Government Contracts
Public sector contracts are high-value, long-term (3-5 year), and sticky. Ireland's 31 local authorities represent a EUR 310K+/year opportunity for platform licensing alone.
