Rentonomy for owners replacing a manager
A small property cannot generate enough fee revenue to support dedicated staff, so service thins out while the fee stays a share of your rent. Rentonomy is the AI property manager that actually does the work — leasing, residents, repairs, rent, and records carried to verified completion for a flat $50 per unit per month.
Owners of 1-to-100-unit rentals without an onsite team who pay a traditional manager today, or just took over a property that came with one.
Why traditional management breaks
Traditional management takes responsibility for the property through local labor, so its service and margin depend on people, local density, fee minimums, and staffing quality. Smaller properties feel that first. Hover any of these to see what changes.
The average manager takes 8.49% of collected rent every month, whether or not your property got any attention. It is the biggest line on the bill.
Rentonomy is a flat price per unit, about 61% below the average base fee at $1,500 rent. No percentage of rent. Repair prices are quoted as one total and approved by you before anyone is dispatched.
One property manager carries hundreds of doors. After hours, on weekends, or during turnover season, your residents are simply next in line.
Penny answers every message and call around the clock, with the lease, the unit history, and your policies already in context. Nobody waits for a coordinator to come back from lunch.
Without triage, a tripped breaker gets the same dispatch as a failed water heater, and the bill arrives after the fact.
Penny triages first and routes by skill level: a guided fix with the resident, a Taskrabbit or local generalist, or a licensed trade when required. Every repair follows the lowest-cost safe path.
You find out what happened at month end, in a statement that summarizes the outcome and leaves out the reasoning.
Every action, provider, authorization, cost, photo, and resident confirmation lands on one record as it happens. You see the proof live instead of taking someone’s word for it.
Switching without the chaos
Rentonomy takes over the routine day-to-day from your current manager, while you keep pricing, applicant decisions, material spending, legal action, and regulated decisions. Licensed professionals perform regulated and physical work, and fair housing rules apply to every applicant.
Units, leases, balances, residents, vendors you want to keep, documents, and open work move into one system of record.
Spend limits, approval thresholds, response standards, preferred providers, and the decisions that always come to you.
Penny carries routine work from signal to completion and returns evidence, cost, and resident response to one record.
A clearer deal than a management agreement
A management agreement hands over both the work and the judgment. Rentonomy separates them: routine operations follow your written policy to a verified result, and the reserved decisions stay with you.
What changes when you switch
At $1,500 monthly rent, the average manager charges about $127 per unit before any work gets done. Rentonomy is $50. For a single 100-unit building that is roughly $93,000 a year in base fees you keep, before counting the vacant days and late rent that faster response prevents.
$60K a year with Rentonomy against $153K at the traditional average for one 100-unit building.
Evidence, cost, and resident confirmation return to one record, not a line on a monthly statement.
Faster answers and fewer dropped handoffs protect the experience that drives renewals.
