Common questions
How is this different from other property management software?
General property management tools treat Section 8 as a checkbox feature — they bolt it on the side of a product built for market-rate portfolios. RentsPaid is built around the Section 8 work — HAP payment tracking per PHA, RFTA packets, NSPIRE inspections, and the compliance dates a voucher landlord actually has to hit. If you only manage Section 8 units, you'll find a tool shaped to your work instead of one you have to bend around it.
What does it cost? Is there a free tier?
Free during launch while we work with early landlords to get the product right. We'll share pricing details before any plan starts costing money — no surprise charges, no hidden upgrades. You'll always have a chance to opt out before any paid plan begins.
Will this work if I only have 1–3 units?
Yes. RentsPaid is built for landlords with 1 to 10 units. Most generic property management tools are priced and shaped for portfolios of 50 or 100 units, which is why small Section 8 landlords end up running spreadsheets. The product makes sense whether you have one duplex or ten houses.
Does this work with my PHA, or just certain ones?
RentsPaid works with any PHA. You enter the PHAs you work with as part of setup, log expected HAP amounts and pay schedules, and the dashboards roll up across all of them. There is no PHA integration to wait for and no list of supported authorities — if you can name your PHA, you can track it.
What if my PHA doesn't have an online portal?
Most PHAs don't have a usable online portal — that is part of why this product exists. RentsPaid is designed for manual entry: you record the expected HAP amount and schedule for each unit once, then mark payments received as they come in. The dashboards and late-payment alerts work the same whether the PHA has a portal or sends paper checks.
Can I track multiple PHAs at once?
Yes. Each unit is tied to its PHA, and the HAP dashboard shows totals across every PHA you work with. You can filter to one authority for reconciliation or look at the whole picture for the month. Multi-PHA landlords are the common case, not the edge case.
Is my tenant and payment data safe?
Your data is stored in PostgreSQL with row-level security policies, which means each landlord can only read their own records — never another landlord's. Tenant personal information and payment history are visible only to you and the tenant on that lease. Sign-in uses standard authentication, and we never share data with third parties.
Built by Section 8 landlords.
RentsPaid is built by Section 8 landlords who own and manage their own voucher units. Every feature in the product solves a problem we hit ourselves — chasing down a HAP payment that never showed, prepping for an NSPIRE inspection without a checklist, missing a recert window because it was buried in a spreadsheet. We work with PHAs the same way you do, and we shape the product around the reality of voucher landlording instead of trying to make a generic tool fit.
