💼 For Side-Hustle Landlords

You Have a Day Job. Your Rentals Shouldn't Be a Second One.

You work 9 to 5 (or more). You own a few rental properties on the side. You don't have time to check spreadsheets during lunch or remember to review rent rolls on Sunday night. RentGuard watches your data and only bothers you when something actually needs your attention.

Sound Familiar?

No time during work hours to check on rentals

You can't step away from a meeting to check if unit 3B paid rent. By the time you get home, make dinner, and sit down, the last thing you want to do is open a spreadsheet.

Things fall through the cracks on busy weeks

A big project at work, a family event, a vacation. Any disruption to your routine means your rental check-in gets skipped. One skipped week turns into two, turns into a missed payment you didn't catch.

PM software adds complexity you don't have time for

You researched property management software. The setup alone takes hours. You need something that works with what you already have and doesn't require ongoing maintenance.

Mental bandwidth is already maxed out

You're managing a career, a household, and a rental portfolio. Every system you add needs to reduce your mental load, not increase it. If it requires daily attention, it's another job.

How RentGuard Helps

RentGuard checks so you don't have to

Your spreadsheet gets monitored every day automatically. You don't open it, you don't think about it, you don't worry about it. Alerts only come when something is overdue.

Works in the background of your real life

No daily logins. No weekly reviews. No app to check. RentGuard runs in the background and sends you an email when action is needed. Otherwise, silence.

Act from your email during a break

Get an alert, handle it in 2 minutes from your phone. Mark as paid, send a follow-up to your tenant, move on with your day. Landlording that fits into a coffee break.

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.

I manage 4 rentals alongside my engineering job. I was checking my spreadsheet every Sunday and still missing things. RentGuard catches stuff same-day so I can deal with it during my lunch break instead of Sunday night.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does RentGuard save me per week?

Most side-hustle landlords spend 30-60 minutes per week manually checking their spreadsheet and cross-referencing payments. RentGuard eliminates that check entirely. You only spend time when there's an actual issue to handle.

Will I get too many alerts?

No. RentGuard only alerts you when something is actually overdue. If all tenants pay on time, you hear nothing. You can also configure grace periods so you're not alerted for payments that are just a day or two late.

Can I handle alerts from my phone?

Yes. Alert emails include action links to mark payments as received or snooze alerts. You can handle most things in under 2 minutes from your phone without logging into anything.

What if my spreadsheet is messy?

RentGuard auto-detects common column names. If your sheet is organized enough for you to track rent manually, it's organized enough for RentGuard. We also offer free templates if you want to clean things up.
