RoostKey
Built for landlords & owner-financed sales

One portal for rent, repairs, and rent-to-own.

RoostKey collects rent online, runs maintenance end to end, and tracks owner-financed home sales with real interest-and-principal math — with a dedicated view for landlords, office staff, tenants, and maintenance.

  • ACH & card via Stripe

Everything it takes to run a property

Rent, receipts, repairs, documents, and reporting — in one place, so you stop stitching together spreadsheets, banking apps, and paper ledgers.

Online rent collection

Tenants pay by bank transfer or card through Stripe. Funds land in your account and the ledger updates the moment it clears.

Instant receipts & statements

Every payment generates a PDF receipt automatically. Print a clean statement or export a full ledger in one click.

Maintenance, end to end

Tenants submit requests with photos. Staff clock in and out, log expenses with receipts, and add before/after photos — so you see the true cost of every job.

Ledgers, exports & tax reports

Per-tenant and per-property ledgers, Excel-ready CSV exports, and a year-end tax report per property your accountant will actually thank you for.

Document vault

Keep leases, inspections, and insurance filed per property — with per-tenant visibility controls so people only see what they should.

Late fees, reminders & status

Configurable late fees per lease, reminders before rent is due, and green / yellow / red status so you know where every unit stands at a glance.

The RoostKey difference

Owner-financing, done properly

Selling a property on owner financing — or letting a tenant buy their home over time? RoostKey treats it like the loan it really is, not a rent line in a spreadsheet. Most property tools can't do this at all.

  • Every payment splits into interest and principal, using the rate in effect on that exact date.
  • Adjustable interest rates — each change is dated and never retroactive.
  • A live payoff balance and full amortization schedule that recompute when the rate changes.
  • The interest / principal split prints on every receipt and statement — a clean paper trail for the sale.

Questions, answered

Do I need a merchant account to collect rent?

No. Payments run through Stripe — you connect your own Stripe account once, and RoostKey never touches card numbers. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.

How do tenants pay?

Online, by bank transfer (ACH) or card via Stripe. Standard Stripe processing fees apply. Either way the tenant gets an instant on-screen confirmation and a PDF receipt by email.

Can RoostKey handle rent-to-own or seller financing?

Yes — it's built in. Each payment splits into interest and principal using the rate in effect on that date, and you always see the live payoff balance and a full amortization schedule. Most property-management tools can't do this at all.

Is my data secure?

Access is role-based and enforced at the database level, not just hidden in the interface. Every request checks what the signed-in user is allowed to see — tenants see only their own unit, staff see only their assigned jobs.

Can I manage several properties, or several owners?

Yes. RoostKey is multi-property from day one, and supports multiple landlords who can grant each other scoped access to their portfolios.

What does it cost?

See the pricing above. Your plan covers the software; Stripe's payment-processing fees are separate and billed by Stripe.
