Hours not chasing
SmartRent.ie vs a spreadsheet
Most small Irish landlords already run a tenancy from Excel, WhatsApp, and a folder of PDFs. SmartRent.ie is the same job — with reminders, a tenant portal, and RTB tools in one place.

What a sheet does well
A spreadsheet is cheap and familiar. You can list Eircodes, rent due dates, and who paid in March. It does not message the tenant, store the RTB draft, or show a tradesperson the photos of the tap.
What the software adds
- Rent due, received, receipts, and a free tenant portal
- Statutory reminders so a registration or review date does not slip
- National rent-cap calculator (2% or CPI)
- Maintenance with photos; you choose the trade from a zero-fee marketplace
- CSV export for your accountant / Revenue records
Cost
Essential €29/month (1–3 properties) or Professional €89/month (4–10), including VAT. Fourteen-day trial, no card. Compared with a ~10% agent cut, Save €1,800+/year per property on a typical let — vs a letting agent.
