Product changelog

    What's new in Rentology

    Everything we have shipped, newest first. One platform for short-term, mid-term and long-term rentals — and it moves every week.

    1. September 2026

      v3.8.0Latest
      • New

        Listing Optimizer — paste a link, get an audit

        Paste any Airbnb URL, yours or one you do not manage, and it reads the live listing as guests see it, then walks eight stages: competitor research from real reviews, photo order, captions, amenities, five title options and a full description.

      • New

        Revenue Control Tower — what is winning, what changed, what needs you

        One screen instead of a pricing tool in another tab. Hover any suggested rate to see where it came from, hover a competitor for its whole card, and the Decision Queue now says why it is empty instead of just being empty.

      • New

        The owner floor is now a label, not a brake

        Pricing can go below an owner's floor to win a booking, and every push that does says so plainly — on the property, in the daily email, and in the log. A booking below the floor beats no booking, but never silently.

      • New

        Payouts release under a real gate

        Money to an owner now moves only through named approvers, with per-payout ceilings, a second pair of eyes above a threshold, a re-authentication step, and a ledger no one can quietly edit.

      • New

        Nothing waits on you unnoticed

        Every guest, owner, tenant and vendor message still waiting for a reply is pinned on the dashboard and collected in one org-wide folder. Open one and the whole conversation is in the fly-out, with the reply box in place.

      • New

        Rentology Pro — one app for every outside professional

        Cleaners, inspectors and contractors get work orders, recurring visits and inspections on their own phone. No seat, no training, nothing to remember.

      • New

        Leasing runs end to end

        A prospect books a self-guided showing, verifies their identity, tours, applies, signs the lease and pays — without a separate showing service in the middle.

      • New

        Change a rent once and it reaches every channel

        One edit, every listing. No more updating the same number in four places and discovering the fifth a month later.

      • New

        Market Analysis, Property Finder and one-link Zillow import

        Research a market and get a report you can actually read, with its sources cited. Scan for properties against your buy box. Paste one Zillow link and the property comes in already filled out.

      • New

        Public rentals websites, furnished and long-term

        Your own site listing every available home, with an Available-now rail that advances on its own, city pages for search engines, and all 28 property pages linked back to the hub.

      • New

        Property Visit Planner

        Plan a day of property visits as the shortest driving route, then open the whole day in Google Maps with one link.

      • New

        Past Guest Gap Recapture

        When a gap opens in the calendar, past guests who stayed at that property are offered the dates — you approve the list before anything sends.

      • New

        Smart-device cost review, monthly

        A monthly review on the calendar showing what every connected lock and thermostat is costing, with a remove button for the ones no longer in service.

      • Improved

        Long text hides behind a click, everywhere

        AI summaries, transcripts, policies and long explainers now sit behind a labelled row you open when you want it. The screen reads as a list, not a wall.

      • Improved

        Owner billing you can edit as the owner reads it

        Free-text charge lines, and the email is editable in the shape the owner will actually see.

      • Improved

        Name the human for vendor messages, sensitive tenant texts and septic dispatch

        These used to route to whoever the system guessed was senior. Now you name the person, per organisation.

      • Improved

        Every tenant signs a security attestation before go-live

        Part of onboarding rather than a document chased afterwards.

      • Improved

        We watch OpenAI's real invoice, not our estimate of it

        AI usage costs are now read from the actual bill instead of a calculated shadow that drifted from it.

      • Fixed

        Guest emails OwnerRez sends are kept

        They were being dropped on sync, so a guest who emailed and then texted arrived as two strangers. Now the address stays attached to the booking.

    2. August 2026

      v3.7.0
      • New

        An AI receptionist answers your main line

        Calls are greeted, understood and routed by name — owners reach their account manager, contractors reach operations, and every call arrives as a transcript you can read.

      • New

        Rentology Brain has its own workspace

        Three tabs on a full page instead of a cramped popup: reply to an owner concern, analyse a whole situation, or write a 360-degree owner email.

      • New

        Talk to it — a task, or a message

        Tap the microphone and speak. Rentology asks whether what you said should become a new task or a Team Hub message, then writes it up properly.

      • New

        Self-guided showings for long-term rentals

        A prospect verifies their identity, gets keybox entry instructions, and tours on their own. Every visit lands on a showings dashboard.

      • New

        Draft owner invoices — edit, send, or charge the card

        Build an invoice with editable line items, then email it or charge the owner's saved card. A charged invoice is suppressed from the statement so nothing is billed twice.

      • New

        Door codes for locks we cannot reach over the internet

        Locks without a remote connection now get tracked codes and a rotation task, so a code set by hand is still recorded, reviewed and eventually retired.

      • Improved

        Smart devices: a glance screen, and the accounts underneath it

        A Rundown tab shows the state of every device at once; a Connections tab shows the accounts they come from. You can now remove a device from the fleet.

      • New

        Inspections record themselves

        The inspector talks through the visit and the recording becomes findings, assignable tasks, an admin recap and a follow-up task on the reviewer's calendar.

      • Improved

        The property board names what is blocking each launch

        A Blockers column tells you the exact step and the exact person holding a property up — then lets you open the step, message them, and sweep the quiet ones in one go.

      • Improved

        The inbox, rebuilt — with search that understands questions

        A cleaner desktop layout without the channel tab strip, an Archived home for anything you mark Done, and a search field you can type a real question into.

      • New

        The AI pages an on-call manager on WhatsApp when a guest issue escalates

        If nobody acknowledges the page within seven minutes, it calls — over WhatsApp, or by phone when WhatsApp calling is not available.

      • New

        New booking inquiries get an instant reply

        Airbnb and Vrbo inquiries are acknowledged the moment they arrive, so a lead is never lost to response time while your team is asleep.

      • New

        A weekly operating rhythm you can actually run

        A scorecard, weekly priorities and a huddle block board — the meeting structure, built into the product.

      • Improved

        Cleaning checklists reach the cleaner

        What you build in the checklist builder now actually appears in the cleaner's app, and cleaner reports route to the right administrator and become Daily Ops tasks.

      • Fixed

        Every access code, not just one

        The cleaner's property screen now lists every access code on the property — along with who is staying, whether it is occupied, and when the next stay begins.

      • New

        Bill.com accounts-payable sync

        Connect your Bill.com account and bills flow in automatically — with settings, an onboarding step, a dashboard and calendar entries.

      • Improved

        Presentation decks that look hand-designed

        Full-bleed splits, photos matched to the message, and brand facts quoted exactly — plus a gate that refuses to ship a slide with a missing image.

      • Improved

        Interview scheduling runs itself

        Candidates get reminder emails 24 hours and 2 hours before, interviewers get a call 10 minutes before, and you can preview the invite without touching a candidate.

      • Improved

        Direct booking: contact the host without leaving the page

        An in-app contact form replaces the email hand-off, and page content is now rendered on the server so search engines read the whole site instead of just the header.

      • New

        A duplex or triplex is one building — sold as one

        Sibling units at the same address are declared as a building group, so the listing copy offers the whole building and the street address never leaks into public copy.

      • Improved

        A calmer navigation rail

        Labels with hover flyouts instead of guesswork icons — and it holds still when you open the Inbox.

      • Improved

        One screen for every team assignment

        Assignments for all team members live on a single settings screen instead of being scattered across the app.

      • New

        Walkthrough videos on the property page

        The Overview tab shows the walkthrough clips, and search results play them in place.

      • New

        Owners can request a payout-account change from their portal

        The request reaches you from inside the owner portal, and the change actually takes effect.

      • Improved

        Reschedule a team call by dragging it

        Drag a call to a new slot, pick from the available times, and Team Hub is notified automatically.

      • Improved

        Your emails send from your own domain

        Every organisation now sends from its own domain or from rentology.ai — never from another tenant's address.

      • Improved

        Push notifications turn themselves on

        The first tap inside an installed app enables push notifications, instead of hiding them behind a settings screen nobody finds.

      • Improved

        Turn the mandatory weekly report off

        An organisation-level switch to stop the weekly report, for teams that already have their own reporting rhythm.

    3. July 2026

      v3.6.0
      • New

        Control locks and thermostats from Rentology

        Connect your smart-device accounts and run every lock and thermostat in the portfolio from one screen — with live status, not a guess.

      • New

        Rentology Brain

        Ask a question about a property, an owner or the market, and get a researched, ready-to-send answer in your own voice.

      • Improved

        The inbox now works like Gmail

        Full-width mail, a folder and label rail that is always visible, a reading-pane toolbar, a message pager, and attachments you can open straight from the list.

      • New

        Guest messaging on autopilot

        Set overnight windows where the AI answers on its own, switch whole groups of conversations between modes, and search inside message bodies.

      • New

        The guest AI teaches itself your properties

        A property that goes live now feeds its own facts into the guest AI, so answers are right from day one instead of after weeks of corrections.

      • New

        Guest tickets

        A guest problem becomes a tracked ticket with an owner, a status and a history — instead of a message someone hopes to remember.

      • New

        Walk the property, talk, get tasks

        Record a spoken walkthrough and it becomes separate, reviewable findings — and each finding can be assigned as a task or turned into a work order.

      • New

        Team huddles with screen share and AI notes

        Start a huddle from Team Hub: share a screen, get live captions, and have the notes and action items written for you.

      • New

        Recurring team calls with real agendas

        Set up recurring calls that meet inside a Team Hub channel, with agenda items routed by call type and a live agenda board during the call.

      • New

        Guest upsells that actually get paid

        A full upsell engine: offers, a guest-facing preview, payment links by text, and a revenue breakdown by type under Financials.

      • New

        SEO Autopilot

        Search performance, content and local listings run on a schedule, with a visible work log so you can see exactly what was done.

      • Improved

        Direct booking sites got a redesign

        A premium booking sheet, an auto-sliding hero filmstrip, your brand colours, and Book on Airbnb or Vrbo buttons with proper logos.

      • New

        Rentology speaks German, and works outside the US

        A native German interface, a language picker on the public site, and the groundwork for running a portfolio in a country other than the United States.

      • New

        Connect your own property management system

        Twelve providers can now be connected yourself, with your properties imported automatically — and an honest waitlist for the ones that are not ready.

      • New

        A new pricing page and four plans

        A premium pricing page with a four-tier ladder, so what you get at each level is clear before you talk to anyone.

      • Improved

        A new look

        Rentology has rebranded to its logo blue, with a redesigned homepage, real logo throughout, and a feature catalogue that keeps itself up to date.

      • New

        Owner CRM

        One timeline per owner covering calls, messages, documents and money — plus an Updates feed the owner sees in their own portal.

      • New

        Onboarding fees and deposits, reconciled

        A dashboard that reconciles every onboarding fee and deposit against what was actually collected, with a saved audit and manual payment confirmation.

      • Improved

        Payout account is a visible onboarding step

        Owners you pay now see a clear Payout Account step and get an invite after the form. Owners you charge never see it at all.

      • New

        Marketing Hub with a visual social calendar

        A live overview, a visual calendar of what is scheduled, and an automatic Just Listed launch when a property goes live.

      • New

        Temporary housing in one menu

        Every temporary-housing surface now lives under a single menu, with a proposal builder, a hot sheet and a relationship dashboard.

      • Improved

        Dashboards you can rearrange

        Drag your dashboard cards into the order you actually work in. Every role, every organisation.

      • Improved

        Navigation consolidated into flyout panels

        The menu tree is grouped into categorised flyout panels, so getting anywhere takes one hover instead of three clicks.

      • Improved

        Search finds bookings, invoices and maintenance

        Universal search now covers bookings, invoices and property-scoped maintenance — and a filter bug that silently hid results is fixed.

      • Improved

        Agreements: resend it, and see if they opened it

        A one-click resend with an optional note, and a record of whether the other party opened the agreement and how often.

      • Improved

        Statements: a duplicate-charge warning and a search box

        The statement builder now warns you when a charge looks like it has already been billed, and the statement list is searchable.

      • New

        Media Center

        A brand asset library with downloads, so logos and media are in one place instead of in someone's chat history.

      • New

        Lead-paint disclosure sends itself

        A property built before 1978 automatically triggers the owner disclosure, and the handoff stays blocked until it is signed.

      • New

        Septic pump-out tracking

        Properties on septic get a pump-out card seeded from onboarding that turns red when it is overdue — and you can flag an existing property without re-running onboarding.

      • New

        A cleaner app for phones

        The cleaner app is a real installable app, with the shared platform underneath it, plus an inspection module and a unified inbox on mobile.

      • Faster

        A noticeably faster app

        2.2 MB of code removed from the initial load, translations loaded only when needed, and 22 new database indexes on the slowest paths.

      • Improved

        The property board is built for operations

        Rows carry operating signals instead of revenue metrics, newest first by default, larger photos on hover, and a full-width search.

      • Improved

        Go-Live has fewer steps and more prefilled

        Platform links and marketing merged into one Listings step, media folded into the guidebook step, and deep links open a section as a side peek instead of navigating away.

      • Fixed

        Bookmarked owner-portal links heal themselves

        An owner who saved an old portal link no longer hits Owner Not Found — the link repairs itself and signs them in.

      • Improved

        Signup is shorter, and bot-proof

        Company name and country moved out of the signup screen, and new accounts pass a phone verification step.

    4. July 2026

      v3.5.0
      • New

        Use the app in your language

        The interface is now fully available in Spanish, with a language picker in the top bar next to notifications. New features are translated automatically going forward.

      • New

        Inspections appear on the dashboard calendar

        Scheduled property inspections now show alongside bookings and calls, and automatically reserve time on the scheduling calendar so appointments never double-book.

      • Improved

        Go-Live pipeline is easier to run

        QR code and guidebook setup are merged into one checklist, and each stage now shows who is actually doing the open work.

      • Improved

        Branding settings upgraded

        Pick your brand colors with a proper color-picker modal, and find any feature faster with searchable settings.

      • Fixed

        What's New always shows the newest release

        This feed now updates the moment a release is published — no more stale entries pinned to the top.

    5. May 2026

      v3.4.0
      • Improved

        Dashboard numbers now show the math

        Revenue, net income, check-ins, vacancies, and statement cards now open with itemized formulas so operators can audit every number before acting.

      • Improved

        Property sentiment finds the top guest themes

        Guest messages are grouped by property into clear themes like access, cleanliness, TV/remote, WiFi, praise, and repeat issues, with recommended next actions.

      • Improved

        Listings fees stay visible on smaller screens

        The Listings Dashboard now uses taller responsive rows so rent, utility caps, cleaning, pet, deposit, and move-out fees stay visible without horizontal hunting.

      • New

        OwnerRez calendar added to the finance dashboard

        Finance and operations leaders can see the OwnerRez-style booking calendar directly inside the dashboard, including booking bars and sync status.

      • Fixed

        Net income now uses all management fees

        The finance dashboard now sums all last-month OwnerRez management fees plus onboarding fees instead of relying on partial statement totals.

    6. April 2026

      v3.0.0
      • New

        Cleaner mobile redesign

        Mobile-first UI for cleaning staff — Report Issue button, live time tracking, and a streamlined task view built for on-site use.

      • New

        Property Income Analysis dashboard

        Live /property-analysis page with Zillow photo pull, multi-strategy comparison table, and a polished email template for sending reports to leads.

      • New

        Playbook override transfer

        Manual transfer UI lets ops hand off playbook overrides between properties. Transfers also trigger automatically on property takeover.

      • New

        Contractor onboarding watchdog

        Auto-verify progress bar tracks each step of contractor setup and a watchdog re-nudges stalled applicants automatically.

      • Faster

        Inbox & dashboard speed boost

        Eliminated 6 eager queries, lazy-load tabs, halved polling intervals, and fixed a permanent loading state that was slowing the whole app on first load.

      • Improved

        Income report email polish

        Email template now mirrors the report layout — centered logo, full-width hero image, and a 4-column strategy table with the recommended row highlighted.

    7. April 2026

      v2.9.0
      • New

        Revenue Autopilot

        AI-powered decision engine automatically adjusts pricing, flags anomalies, and routes approvals with a full portfolio dashboard and approval queue.

        Phone icon restored, search bar widened, sidebar scrollbar hidden at rest for a cleaner look.

      • Fixed

        DM alert modal removed from Dashboard

      v2.6.0
      • Fixed

        Call reminders no longer fire early

        Timing guards added to the reminder scheduler — reminders now send only within the correct pre-call window.

      • Fixed

        Missing call reminder crons restored

        Several scheduled call-reminder cron jobs were not firing. All crons have been re-created and verified.
