Rentalize is built in Ireland and serves Irish housing bodies, local authorities, and AHB partners as its primary market. The Affordable Housing Act 2021, the Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Act 2019, and the Planning and Development Act Part V are not adapted from a UK product. They are native to the platform.
In production today: 500+ units managed across cost rental, HAP, AHB, and Part V tenancies. 4,600 applications processed in a single week. The scale is real; the scheme support is real.
