Getting Started with RentalAgent
Choose your role below to learn how to configure your dashboard, automate notification workflows, or apply for listed properties.
Register Account
Create an Owner account. You'll be assigned a unique **Referral Code**. If you input another owner's referral code during registration, both of you instantly receive **6 months of premium access** added to your expiration date.
Connect WhatsApp Sidecar
Navigate to your **WhatsApp** tab and select *Connect*. Our Node sidecar service spins up a background browser instance. Scan the generated QR code in a few seconds using your WhatsApp mobile app to authorize automated alert dispatching.
List Rental Properties
Add new properties by defining names, addresses, room configurations, and rental parameters. Set custom rules (e.g., "No night parties"). Toggling *List Publicly* renders the property live on the public renter portal.
Draft and Sign Leases
Map an onboarded tenant to your property. Upload an optional agreement document, set a rent due day (e.g., 5th of each month), and draw your signature on the canvas to sign the lease. The property status is set to *Occupied* automatically.
Double Rent-Tracking Support
1. Automated WhatsApp Invoicing
On the rent due day, the system automatically uses your connected WhatsApp session to send a message to the tenant. The message embeds interactive link buttons (e.g., *Confirm Payment*). When the tenant clicks the button, your dashboard is updated to *Pending Owner Approval*.
2. Manual Rent Logging (Offline Payments)
For cash, check, or bank transfer payments, you do not need automated actions. Use the **Receive** form directly on the collections grid. Set the date, and click submit. You can also click **Record Past Payment** to back-date transactions or log historical offline rent payments manually.
