Keep track of a building’s money.
Rentio records the rent, the meter readings, the repairs and the year’s accounts for a building — so it stops living in a notebook, a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group that never quite agree.
No card. Nothing for your tenants to install.

It comes in two. Pick yours below.
Which one is yours?
They are two separate apps, because they keep two different sets of books: a society’s money belongs to its members and gets audited, and a landlord’s is their own and gets taxed. So each has its own sign-in — own a flat in a society and let another one out, and that is two accounts, on purpose — and what you owe a society is never added to what a tenant owes you. Both are paid: ₹50 a flat each month for a building you let out, ₹10 for a society.
I rent out a flat or a building
Rent, electricity and water bills, deposits, repairs, and accounts at the end of the year — flat by flat, tenant by tenant.
Renting a flat yourself? You don’t start here — your landlord starts it for you. See below.

Right now, one building lives in three places.
The rent
A spreadsheet, updated when you remember.
The meter readings
A notebook, or photos in your gallery.
Who actually paid
A WhatsApp thread you scroll back through.
None of them agree by March — and the tenant who is genuinely paid up looks exactly like the one who isn’t.
Four things a spreadsheet can’t do.
Bill each flat for its own electricity (sub-metering)
Note what the meter says. Rentio works out the units used, applies that flat’s rate, and adds the charge to the right tenant. Water and gas the same way.
Keep a running total of what each tenant owes (a ledger)
Not just “paid” or “unpaid” — a dated list of every charge and every payment, with the amount still owed carried down the side.
Close the year and lock it
Finish a flat’s financial year, or the whole building at once. After that, last year’s figures cannot quietly change underneath the return you filed.
Print the receipts your tenants ask for (including HRA)
A receipt for any payment, and the yearly statement a tenant’s employer wants for their House Rent Allowance claim — with your PAN added automatically once the year’s rent passes ₹1,00,000.
Ask “what does 1A owe?” and get a number.
Every charge and every payment for a flat, in date order, with the amount still owed running down the right-hand side. Rent, electricity, water, a share of the lift contract, a late fee — one list, one column headed Due. Your tenant sees the same page you do.
- A payment simply reduces what is owed. No working out which month a part-payment was meant to settle.
- One flat’s year can cover two different tenants, and each one’s lines stay theirs.
- Got something wrong? Change the line, or delete it. Every correction is recorded — so you can explain the list, not just show it.
| Date | Description | Charged | Paid | Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Apr | Rent — April | 25,000 | — | 25,000 |
| 04 Apr | Electricity 142 units @ ₹15.00 | 2,130 | — | 27,130 |

The meter round, done in about two minutes a month.
Walk the building, type in the readings, done. Rentio subtracts last month’s reading, multiplies by that flat’s rate, and adds the charge. One rate for the whole building, or a different one for the flat that pays differently.
- Enter whatever you actually have: what the meter says, the units used, or just the amount printed on the bill.
- Slabs and taxes mean the bill is almost never units × rate. Type the real figure and it wins.
- Writing down a reading bills nobody. Adding the charge is a second, deliberate step — after you have looked at it.
- Entered a month late, or out of order? Later readings are worked out again, and any charge already added is corrected with a note saying why.
| Unit | Reading | Units | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1A | 4,460 from 4,318 | 142 | 2,130 | Charged |
| 1B | 2,993 from 2,905 | 88 | 1,320 | Charged |
| 2B Rate ₹13.50 (unit override) | 7,944 from 7,740 | 204 | 2,754 | Not billed |
| 3C Amount from provider's bill | 1,297 from 1,180 | 117 | 1,986 | Not billed |
| 4A Move-in baseline | 6,012 new meter | — | — | Opening |

Close the year once. It stays closed.
One statement per flat: what came in, what you spent, what you kept. It counts the money that actually moved, which is how rental income is filed. Close one flat, or every flat in the building in one go — and after that the lines behind the statement are locked, so the figures you filed on cannot drift.
- Your financial year, your dates — April, January, or whatever your building actually runs on.
- Need to fix something? Reopen the year, correct it, close it again. Deliberate, never accidental.
- Send any year to your accountant as a PDF or a spreadsheet file.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Rent received | 3,00,000 |
| Electricity recovered | 19,340 |
| Water recovered | 5,260 |
| Repairs and maintenance Linked to 3 maintenance requests | −28,400 |
| Electricity paid to provider | −13,450 |
| Net for the year Locked | ₹2,82,750 |
The two questions every move-out turns into an argument.
How much deposit are you holding, and how much of it goes back. Rentio keeps the security deposit and any rent paid in advance as two separate pots, each with a dated list of every rupee in and out. Your tenant sees the same list, and cannot change it.
- Both are kept out of the rent total, so the Due column stays honest about rent.
- Put money paid in advance towards this month’s rent in one click — it appears as a real payment on the list.
- Carry what is left into a renewal without the same money being counted twice.
| Date | Entry | Amount | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Apr 25 | Deposit collected At start of tenancy | 50,000 | 50,000 |
| 01 Apr 25 | Advance collected | 24,000 | 24,000 |
| 01 Sep 25 | Applied to rent Posted as a payment on the ledger | −20,000 | 4,000 |
And the rest of the month.
One bill, split between the flats
The lift contract, the cleaner, the common-area electricity. Choose how it divides — equally, by size, or your own numbers — and see the whole split before anybody is charged. Pass it on to tenants or carry it yourself; either way each flat’s share shows up in its own accounts.
The building’s own meters
A main meter, the stairwell lights, a pump, a society account. Read like any flat’s meter, then either split between the flats or kept as the building’s own cost — never both, and the reading remembers which.
Repairs, with the bill attached
A tenant reports a leak and it stays on that flat’s record instead of in a chat. Open, in progress, done — with the money it cost linked to it, so next year you can see what that flat really cost you.
Tell everyone at once
Water off on Tuesday — to one building, or to every tenant you have. You see who it will reach before you send it, and who has read it after, including the tenants with no login who were never reached at all.
Your bank statement, not your memory
Load the statement and turn the credits into payments instead of typing them in. The file is read on your own computer and is never uploaded anywhere.
Your tenants don’t have to sign up. At all.
This is where most rent apps quietly fail: twelve tenants, and four of them will never install anything. So Rentio does not ask them to. Write your tenants down yourself — a name is enough — and run the whole building on your own: bills, meters, receipts, year-end, everything.
- Nothing to download, nothing to explain, nobody to chase.
- If a tenant does want their own login later, send them a code. Their history follows them, and nothing is duplicated.
- Tenants who do sign in get their own statement, their receipts and their deposit list — and cannot change any of it.
Rentio never touches your rent.
When a tenant pays by UPI, they scan a code that pays your UPI ID — their bank to your bank, with nothing in between. They then tell Rentio they have paid, you confirm it, and it lands on the list. The money is always between you and your tenant.
- No wallet, no holding account, no waiting for a settlement, no cut.
- A payment a tenant says they made but you have not confirmed cannot move any total.
This is a deliberate choice, not a missing feature.
Set up in an evening.
Add your building and its flats
Floors, flat numbers, and what your electricity costs per unit.
Start a tenancy on each occupied flat
Dates, rent, deposit. Write the tenant down yourself, or send them a code.
Enter the month
Rent, meter readings, anything shared. Rentio does the arithmetic and every total updates itself.
Nothing has to be perfect on day one — charges, payments and meter readings can all be corrected afterwards, and every correction is recorded.
Questions landlords actually ask.
I only have one or two flats. Is this too much?
No. Rent, receipts, the deposit and a year-end statement, without the spreadsheet — that alone is worth it. Most of the rest only starts to matter somewhere around flat six, and it waits quietly until then.
Do my tenants need to install anything?
No. You can write your tenants down yourself and run the whole building without a single one of them signing up. If one wants their own access later, you send a code and their history follows them.
Does Rentio collect my rent, or hold my money?
Never. A UPI payment goes from your tenant’s bank straight to your UPI ID. Rentio only records that it happened, once you confirm it.
Every flat has its own electricity meter. Can it handle that?
That is what it was built for. Each flat’s usage is worked out from its own readings, at its own rate if that differs from the building’s.
My electricity bill has slabs and taxes, so units × rate is never right.
Type in the amount from the bill instead. That figure wins, and the meter reading is still kept for the history.
My financial year isn’t April to March.
Set the start month for each building. Every year-end and every yearly filter follows it.
Can my brother or my manager help run it?
Yes. Make a team, add them, and give them the buildings they look after. Everyone works on the same records.
Can I get everything out for my accountant?
Any year, one flat or the whole building, as a PDF or a spreadsheet file. They are kept, so you can download them again months later.
What does it cost?
₹50 per flat per month for a building you let out. Thirty days free to start, no card, and no limit on flats. The pricing page has the detail, and the figure is negotiable.
Start with one building. It takes an evening.
Thirty days free. No card, and nothing for your tenants to install.
