Best Letting Agent & Landlord Software in Ireland (2026)

An Irish letting agency runs the whole tenancy — onboarding the tenant, signing the lease, registering with the RTB, collecting the rent, paying the landlord, and staying PSRA-licensed while it does. This guide compares the software Irish agents and landlords actually use, and shows what to look for.

Short answer

For Irish letting agents, agencies and landlords, TenantSync is the best fit: it is the only platform that runs the whole Irish tenancy in one system — GDPR-safe tenant onboarding, the RTB tenancy agreement e-signed, RTB Form 1 drafting with registration and renewal tracking, the national rent cap (2% or CPI, whichever is lower), rent reconciled against Irish banks via Open Banking, per-landlord statements with non-resident landlord withholding tax, and, for agencies, PSRA licensing, client-account reconciliation, s.43 Letters of Engagement and the annual Accountant’s Report. Letman and Acquaint are the most common established platforms Irish agents use; Property CRM, Re-Leased, Arthur and PayProp also appear. These are capable general tools, but none model Irish RTB or PSRA compliance the way TenantSync does. TenantSync imports directly from Letman.

Why Irish agents and landlords choose TenantSync

The incumbents were built to run a lettings office; Irish compliance arrived later and stayed manual. TenantSync starts from the other end — four reasons that matter more than any single feature.

  • Built on Irish law, not localised to it

    RTB Form 1, the national rent cap, Part 4, PSRA, non-resident landlord withholding tax and student-specific accommodation are the product — not custom fields bolted onto a UK or US tool.

  • The whole tenancy, one record

    Enquiry, onboarding, lease, registration, rent, landlord payout and maintenance share the same records, so nothing is retyped between five tools and nothing falls between them.

  • It prepares — you stay in control

    TenantSync drafts the Form 1, works out the rent cap and builds the statements. You submit through the RTB portal, file through ROS and pay from your own bank account, so the regulated decisions stay yours.

  • Published pricing that scales with you

    From €20/month, in euro, with no per-property fees and no per-signature charges. Try it free for 14 days with no credit card, and import from Letman or a spreadsheet.

Top pick for Irish letting agents and landlords

TenantSync

One system of record for Irish lettings, from the first enquiry to the landlord’s payout — for agencies of 2–15 staff managing roughly 30–300 tenancies across landlord clients, for landlords running their own portfolio, and for student accommodation operators. Agency and branch scoping, per-landlord reporting, native iOS and Android apps, and one-click migration from Letman.

Everything an Irish lettings business runs on, in one platform

Most tools cover one or two of these and leave you to bolt on the rest. These share the same records, so the applicant you approve becomes the tenant on the lease, the lease drives the RTB registration and the rent schedule, and the rent that lands becomes the landlord’s statement.

  1. 01 · Find & onboard
    Standard and above

    Enquiries and tenant onboarding

    Go from a Daft enquiry to an approved tenant without a single passport sitting in your inbox.

    Daft and MyHome enquiries parsed into one pipeline; unmatched leads are flagged rather than dropped

    One secure link per applicant: ID, references and proof of income uploaded from their phone

    Standard, student and HAP checklists, with a PPS number deliberately never requested

    You review and decide; approving creates the tenant record, rejecting erases the applicant’s data

  2. 02 · Sign
    Every plan

    Lease templates and e-signing

    The right agreement, filled from the tenancy you already hold and signed from a link.

    The RTB’s own Residential Tenancy Agreement, or your agency’s wording

    Landlord, agent, tenant and witness sign in the order you set

    Advanced electronic signature under eIDAS, with a timestamped audit certificate

    Included on every plan — no per-signature or per-envelope charge

  3. 03 · Register & comply
    Every plan

    RTB compliance

    Every date that decides whether a tenancy is compliant, derived from the tenancy and tracked to done.

    Registration deadline derived from the tenancy start date, plus annual renewals

    RTB Form 1 pre-drafted and taken to finalise — you submit through the RTB portal

    National rent cap (2% or CPI, whichever is lower) calculated per review, with the rule named

    Part 4 and Further Part 4 rights, certificate expiries and a compliance dashboard with audit trail

  4. 04 · Collect
    Standard and above

    Rent collection and reconciliation

    Know who has paid without opening a bank statement — and see arrears the day they happen.

    PSD2 Open Banking with AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB, EBS, Revolut, N26 and more

    Transactions sync every six hours and are scored against active leases and open invoices

    Anything ambiguous waits in a review queue with ranked candidates, never guessed at

    Recurring invoicing, arrears flagged the same day and invoice aging

  5. 05 · Pay out

    Landlord payments and NLWT

    Payout month without the spreadsheet: one itemised statement per landlord, approved before money moves.

    Matched rent, your management fee and approved contractor costs on one statement per landlord

    Non-resident landlord withholding tax at the statutory 20% deducted where you act as collection agent

    The landlord approves from an expiring, single-use link; you pay from your own bank account and record it

    Liability tracked to the Rental Notification deadline — you file through ROS

  6. 06 · Stay licensed
    Growth and above

    PSRA compliance for letting agents

    Your licence to operate, tracked as carefully as your tenancies — and an inspection pack ready on demand.

    Licence renewal clock with reminders at 12 weeks, 6 weeks and overdue

    s.43 Letters of Engagement generated and tracked to signature

    Per-landlord client-money ledgers and monthly reconciliation; PII expiry tracked

    One-click inspection evidence pack — you deal with the Authority

  7. 07 · Run the week

    Operations — maintenance, documents and reporting

    One system instead of a spreadsheet, an inbox and a filing cabinet, scoped by agency and branch.

    Properties, units, tenants and leases as one linked record

    Maintenance requests with photos, an assigned contractor and a tenant-visible thread

    BER, gas and electrical certificates chase their own expiry dates

    Per-landlord reporting with Excel export, tenant portal and native iOS and Android apps

Built for every side of the Irish market

For letting agents and agencies

Two compliance regimes and a payout run, one system

An agency carries its landlord clients’ RTB duties, its own PSRA duties and a statement for every landlord every month. TenantSync models all three, scoped so a principal sees the business, a branch manager sees their branch, and an agent sees what they are assigned.

Agency and branch scoping on every property, tenancy and action

PSRA licensing, client money and s.43 letters — on Growth and above

Per-landlord statements with fees, approval links and 20% withholding for non-resident landlords

A direct import path off Letman or a spreadsheet

For landlords

Stay compliant and see arrears early — without an agent

March 2026 replaced Rent Pressure Zones with national rent control, and the dates that decide compliance moved with it. TenantSync tracks every RTB deadline on your tenancies, works out the maximum legal rent, and runs the tenancy from application to signed lease to repairs.

RTB registration and renewal deadlines derived per tenancy

National rent cap worked out for each review, with the rule shown

Leases signed online on every plan, maintenance and document expiry reminders

From €20/month for up to 10 units — Starter covers compliance, not banking; Open Banking starts on Standard

For student accommodation

Student housing, run room by room

Student-specific accommodation has its own RTB rules — 41-week terms, 28 days’ notice, no Part 4 and a separate register. TenantSync is built around apartments, rooms and academic years, so anything you do for one student you can do for the whole intake.

Occupancy board, bulk intake and agreements sent for e-signature at once

Form 1 drafts with the SSA box ticked, and the right rent cap per building

Instalment rent with parents as payers, deposit returns and owner statements


What to look for in Irish lettings software

  1. RTB compliance automation

    Form 1 drafting, the 30-day deadline, annual renewals and Part 4 milestones tracked automatically for every tenancy — not a reminder you set yourself in a calendar.

  2. National rent cap

    A calculator that applies the 2%-or-CPI rule using the published figures, with the working shown, so rent reviews are legal and audit-ready.

  3. Tenant onboarding that respects GDPR

    One secure link for applicant documents instead of an inbox full of passports, with rejected applicants’ data erased by the software rather than by someone remembering to.

  4. The RTB tenancy agreement, e-signed

    The Board’s own agreement filled from the tenancy, signed by landlord, agent, tenant and witness from a link, with an audit trail — and no per-signature charge.

  5. Rent reconciliation

    Open Banking matching of incoming rent to the right tenancy across Irish banks, with a review queue for the ambiguous ones and arrears surfaced the day they happen.

  6. Landlord statements and withholding tax

    One itemised statement per landlord with your fee and contractor costs, landlord approval before money moves, and non-resident landlord withholding tax tracked to its deadline.

  7. PSRA / PSR compliance

    For agencies: licence renewal tracking, designated client-account reconciliation, s.43 Letters of Engagement, the annual Accountant’s Report and inspection packs — agent obligations no global tool covers.

  8. Operations in the same system

    Daft and MyHome enquiries, maintenance with contractors and documents that chase their own expiry — so compliance is not an island beside a spreadsheet.

  9. Reporting per landlord client

    Income against expenses, arrears aging and maintenance cost per portfolio, exportable to Excel, so a client question is a download rather than an afternoon.

  10. Migration path and transparent pricing

    Direct import from Letman and from spreadsheets without rekeying history, and published plans rather than quote-only, so you can budget without a sales call.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best letting agent software in Ireland?

For Irish letting agents, TenantSync is the strongest choice because it runs the whole tenancy on Irish law in one system: tenant onboarding, the RTB tenancy agreement e-signed, RTB registration and the national rent cap, Open Banking rent reconciliation, per-landlord statements with non-resident landlord withholding tax, and the PSRA obligations the agency itself carries — licence renewals, client-account reconciliation and s.43 Letters of Engagement.

What is the best property management software for Irish landlords?

TenantSync also runs the self-managing landlord’s portfolio end to end: RTB registration and renewal deadlines derived per tenancy, the national rent cap calculated for each review, leases filled and signed online, tenant and maintenance workflows, and certificates with expiry reminders. Starter is €20/month for up to 10 units; Open Banking and tenant onboarding start on Standard.

What is the best software for estate agents in Ireland?

For the lettings side of an Irish estate or letting agency, TenantSync is purpose-built around Irish rental law — RTB registrations, the national rent-cap calculation, PSRA client-money and licensing compliance, non-resident landlord withholding tax — and around the operational work: enquiries, onboarding, leases, maintenance, landlord payouts and reporting. It suits agencies of 2–15 staff managing roughly 30–300 tenancies, with agency and branch scoping.

Does TenantSync handle day-to-day lettings operations, not just compliance?

Yes. Daft and MyHome enquiries land in one pipeline, applicants are onboarded from one secure link, leases are filled from the tenancy and e-signed, maintenance requests carry photos and an assigned contractor, documents chase their own expiry dates, and per-landlord reports export to Excel. A tenant portal and native iOS and Android apps are included.

Can TenantSync run our landlord payouts and withholding tax?

It prepares them. Matched rent, your management fee and approved contractor costs roll into one itemised statement per landlord, approved from an expiring link. For a non-resident landlord where you act as collection agent, the statutory 20% is deducted and tracked to the Rental Notification deadline. You pay from your own bank account and file through ROS — TenantSync does not hold or move money.

How does tenant onboarding work for a letting agency?

On Standard and above, you send each applicant one secure link with a standard, student or HAP checklist. They upload documents from their phone; you accept or send back each one and decide — TenantSync does not score applicants. Approving creates the tenant record; rejecting erases the applicant’s data. It is not included on Starter or in the 14-day free trial.

What is the best alternative to Letman for Irish agents?

TenantSync is the common switch from Letman for Irish letting agents who need deeper RTB and PSRA compliance automation alongside onboarding, e-signing and landlord statements. It imports your portfolio directly from Letman — and from spreadsheets — without rekeying tenancies, leases or history. Concierge onboarding is available to get the agency fully set up.

Is there letting software for student accommodation in Ireland?

Yes. TenantSync supports student-specific accommodation: apartments, rooms and academic years on an occupancy board, bulk intake from a spreadsheet, agreements e-signed at once, and one Form 1 draft per agreement with the SSA box ticked — you submit through the RTB portal. It applies the right rent cap per building and handles instalment rent, deposit returns and owner statements.

Is there letting or rent software built specifically for Ireland?

Yes. TenantSync is lettings and rent software built specifically for Ireland, based on the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, the RTB’s Form 1 and tenancy agreement, the national rent cap (2% or CPI, whichever is lower), Part 4 rules, non-resident landlord withholding tax and PSRA property-services regulation, and it reconciles rent against Irish banks (AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB, EBS, Revolut, N26) via Open Banking.

How much does letting agent software cost in Ireland?

TenantSync has flat, published monthly pricing with no per-property fees: Starter €20/month (up to 10 units), Standard €99/month (up to 100, adding Open Banking and tenant onboarding), Growth €149/month (up to 200, adding the PSRA compliance module), Premium €199/month (up to 300), and custom Enterprise pricing above that. E-signing is included on every plan, and a free 14-day trial is available.

From first enquiry to landlord payout, in one place

Whether you manage tenancies for landlord clients, your own portfolio or a student complex, TenantSync is built around Irish rental law and the way Irish lettings actually work. Import from Letman or a spreadsheet and be set up in under 10 minutes.
