How it works
Connect your email
We mirror tenant and vendor messages into a clean, structured workspace.
Automatically organize and track
Rent and expenses are extracted from emails (like Zelle), so you always know what’s been paid.
Route what matters
Urgent issues get escalated instantly. Everything else stays organized and async.
Before Rent Relay
- × Inbox search for payment records
- × Missed payments you didn’t catch
- × Manual tracking in spreadsheets
- × Emergency calls at all hours
After Rent Relay
- ✓ Clean dashboard, everything in one place
- ✓ Automatic payment detection and matching
- ✓ Clear status at a glance
- ✓ Emergencies routed to the right person
Know what’s urgent. Ignore what isn’t.

Frequently asked questions
How does the rental phone number work?
You get a real local phone number dedicated to your rentals. Tenants text or call that number like normal. Messages forward to your phone, or you can reply through RentRelay—either way, your personal number stays hidden.
Do my tenants need to download anything?
No. Tenants use normal SMS and email. Everything looks like a regular message to them.
How does rent tracking work?
When Zelle sends payment notifications to your rental email, we extract the amount, sender, and date. You set rent expectations per tenant and we match incoming payments automatically.
How does emergency routing work?
Messages are analyzed for urgency keywords (fire, flood, gas leak, etc.). Real emergencies are escalated immediately to your designated emergency contact. Non-urgent issues are logged and organized for you to handle asynchronously.
What happens when I go on vacation?
Assign an emergency contact in seconds. Rent Relay routes urgent issues to them automatically. When you return, you have full visibility into everything that happened. No group texts, no confusion.
Can I export for taxes?
Yes. Export expenses by category, income by property, and a Schedule E-style summary—no spreadsheet reconstruction needed.
Is my data secure?
Your personal phone and email are never exposed to tenants. We use read-only email parsing—your email stays yours. Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest.
