What is Rently?

Use cases to evaluate
Letting prospective renters self-tour vacant SFR homes after ID verification, without dispatching an agent
Replacing lockboxes across a build-to-rent community with monitored smart access
Automating lead qualification and tour scheduling via the RIA AI leasing agent
Giving move-in residents app-based access control and smart-home device management
Fit to evaluate
Single-family rental operators (100+ scattered-site homes) needing remote showing capability
Build-to-rent developers wiring smart access into new communities from day one
Multifamily operators piloting self-touring to extend showing hours past office close
Student housing managers handling high-volume tours during turn season
Business fit
Right for you if you operate SFR, build-to-rent, or multifamily portfolios where vacant unit showings eat into staff bandwidth and you want prospects touring 7 days a week without an agent on-site. Skip if your portfolio is under ~50 doors (the hardware capex won't pencil), if your local market regulates self-tours, or if you prefer keeping showings agent-led for screening reasons. Strong fit when smart-lock retrofit costs are recoverable through reduced days-on-market.
