Rent collection for landlords, without the chasing
RentKeep creates each month's rent invoice, emails it to your tenant with a PDF, and can add a Stripe pay link on your own Stripe account. You see who has paid, who is due, and who is late.

What RentKeep does for rent collection
- Recurring rent invoices. Set the rent and the due day once. RentKeep generates the invoice every month for each tenant.
- Invoice emails. Email the invoice to your tenant with a PDF attached, from the phone app or the web app.
- Stripe pay links. Connect your own Stripe account and add a Pay now link to invoices. The money goes to your Stripe balance, and RentKeep never handles card numbers.
- Any payment method. Record bank transfer, cash, check, card, or a Stripe payment against the invoice it pays.
- Reminders. Get alerts before and after the due date, and send a payment reminder email to a tenant when rent is late.
- Paid, due, and overdue. Status changes as payments are recorded, so the dashboard always shows what is still owed.
Set up rent collection in three steps
Step 1
Add the property and tenant
Create the building and unit, then add the tenant with their rent amount, due day, and email address.
Step 2
Turn on recurring invoices
RentKeep generates the rent invoice each month. Send it by email with a PDF, with or without a Stripe pay link.
Step 3
Record what comes in
Log payments as they arrive, or let Stripe payment updates come in through your webhook. Overdue rent stands out.
What automatic rent collection means here
RentKeep automates the paperwork around rent: the monthly invoice, the email to the tenant, the reminder, and the paid or overdue status. It does not pull money from a tenant's bank account, and it does not hold your money.
If you want tenants to pay online, connect your own Stripe account. Invoices can then carry a Pay now link that opens Stripe checkout. Add the Stripe webhook in your Stripe dashboard and RentKeep receives payment updates for those links. Stripe's own fees apply, and payouts go from Stripe to your bank.
If your tenants pay by bank transfer, cash, or check, nothing changes for them. You record the payment in a few taps and the invoice is marked paid.
Built for small portfolios
RentKeep is made for independent landlords with one building or a few dozen units. There is no setup call and no per-unit fee for managing rent. Tenants do not need the app to receive invoices or pay a Stripe link. You can invite a tenant later if they should see their own invoices and payments.
Rent collection: common questions
Is rent collection in RentKeep free?
Yes. Recurring invoices, invoice emails, payment records, reminders, and receipts are part of the free app. Stripe charges its own processing fees on card payments made through your pay links.
Do my tenants need to download RentKeep to pay?
No. Tenants receive the invoice by email with a PDF. If you add a Stripe pay link, they pay on Stripe's checkout page in a browser. You can invite a tenant to RentKeep if you want them to see their own invoices and payments.
Does RentKeep take a cut of the rent?
No. Stripe pay links run on your own Stripe account, so card payments go to your Stripe balance. RentKeep does not hold or route your money.
Can I collect rent in my own currency?
Yes. Amounts are shown in the currency you choose for your portfolio, and invoices and receipts use it too.
