😅 For Accidental Landlords

You Never Planned to Be a Landlord. That's OK.

Maybe you inherited a property. Maybe the market tanked and selling didn't make sense. Maybe you relocated and decided to rent your old place instead of letting it sit empty. However you got here, you're a landlord now. RentGuard makes the rent tracking part as painless as possible.

Sound Familiar?

You don't want to become a "property manager"

You have a career. You have a life. You didn't sign up for this. You just want to know if rent came in and deal with problems when they pop up. That's it.

Complex PM software feels like a second job

You looked at property management platforms and they want you to set up tenant portals, accounting categories, and maintenance workflows. You have one or two units. You need alerts, not an ERP system.

Inherited properties come with inherited messes

The previous owner's systems (or lack thereof) are now your problem. Existing tenants, unclear lease terms, no organized records. You need to start clean with something simple.

The emotional overhead is real

Being a reluctant landlord means the mental load of "did they pay?" sits in the back of your mind constantly. You're not checking because you forget. You're not checking because you dread it.

How RentGuard Helps

Minimal setup, maximum peace of mind

Create a simple Google Sheet with your tenant info and rent dates. Share it with RentGuard. That's the whole setup. You'll get an email only when rent is overdue.

No software to learn

You already know Google Sheets. RentGuard doesn't replace your workflow. It just adds a layer of monitoring on top of it. Nothing to download, nothing to study.

Reduce the mental load

Stop wondering if rent came in. RentGuard will tell you if it didn't. No news is good news. That alone is worth $15/mo when landlording isn't your chosen profession.

How It Works

1. Connect Your Spreadsheet

Share your Google Sheet with RentGuard. We read your data in read-only mode. Your original sheet stays untouched.

2. We Monitor Daily

RentGuard checks your data every day and flags overdue rent or aging maintenance requests. No manual review needed.

3. Get Alerts That Matter

Receive email alerts only when something needs attention. Take action directly from the email or your dashboard.

My mom passed and left me a duplex with two tenants. I had no clue what I was doing. RentGuard at least tells me when rent is late so I'm not flying completely blind.

Frequently Asked Questions

I only have one rental. Is RentGuard worth it?

Yes. One rental still means tracking rent payments every month. If checking your spreadsheet feels like a chore you keep putting off, RentGuard does it for you and only bothers you when something is wrong.

I don't have a spreadsheet yet. Can I start from scratch?

Absolutely. Download our free rent tracker template, fill in your tenant info, and connect it to RentGuard. The whole process takes about 15 minutes even if you're starting from zero.

What if I decide to sell the property?

Cancel anytime. No contracts, no penalties. If you sell your rental, just cancel your subscription. You can also pause monitoring if you're between tenants.

Does RentGuard contact my tenants?

Never. RentGuard only communicates with you, the landlord. We don't send messages to tenants, collect rent, or interact with anyone on your behalf. We monitor and alert. That's it.
