FAQ
Common questions
It can be, if you want one platform for the whole tenancy. Goodlord is best known for the pre-tenancy stage: referencing, e-signing and rent protection. Rentalize Core records references and covers lease signing on every plan, then the rest of the tenancy: rent, repairs and compliance records on every plan, client money on Growth and above, and Irish rules such as RTB registration and the 2026 rent cap.
Rentalize Core records identity checks and references against each applicant, with affordability and rent-to-income scoring, on every plan, inside a 16-stage applicant pipeline, so the result sits on the tenancy record without re-entry. Rentalize does not run credit or ID checks itself. Compare the checks and turnaround of each referencing service on your own applicants before you switch.
Rentalize tracks the compliance record underneath the Act: safety certificates, deposits and repairs with SLAs on every plan, plus UK case management on Professional and above, where Section 8 and Section 13 notices are logged and tracked against the tenancy with their dates and service evidence. PRS Database submission is on the roadmap, not in the product today. Ask any platform which duties have a dedicated workflow today and which are on its roadmap. See /renters-rights-act-compliance-software/.
Check with Goodlord for its current coverage. If you let property in Ireland, ask any platform whether it handles RTB registration, the 2026 rent cap and HAP tenancies. Rentalize Core includes one-click RTB registration export and renewal tracking and the 2026 rent cap calculator on every plan, alongside UK safety certificate, deposit and repairs records.
Not directly: there is no built-in Goodlord integration. The bulk-import wizard and import templates on every plan bring existing tenancy data across, and Enterprise plans include a REST API.
