For self-managing landlords

Property managers take 7.5% of your rent.Tenwise takes $19.

List, screen, sign and collect rent on your own property, without the property manager, for $19 a month for your first property and $9 a month for each one you add. NSW first.

$19 first property · $9 each additionalCancel any time · no surprise price changesState-specific lease, signed onlineYour money goes from tenant to youBuilt in Australia · Australian support

You wouldn’t be unusual. About one in five Australian landlords already self-manage (QBE Landlord Survey, 2025).

When the law changes, your lease template updates and we tell you what’s different, so staying compliant isn’t one more thing you have to track. See what’s changed.

The problem

The patchwork is the problem.

Self-managing usually means a spreadsheet, a dated lease template, a Gumtree ad, and a lot to keep track of. Tenwise puts the whole job in one place.

  • Find tenants without an agent?

    Paste a realestate.com.au or Domain link to prefill, or let AI draft the ad. Publish a clean listing page and share it wherever you reach tenants.

  • Pick the wrong tenant?

    An at-a-glance fit score ranks applicants on affordability and rental history, so the strongest one is already at the top. Tenancy-database checks are coming.

  • Get the paperwork wrong?

    A state-specific lease and an easy-to-use digital condition report, filled in for you and signed online, with the bond lodged straight to the state authority.

  • Chase late rent?

    Rent is flagged the day it’s missed, reminders go out automatically, and Radar surfaces what needs you, so arrears never sit unseen.

  • Fall behind the law?

    Staying compliant is built into Tenwise: state-specific templates, the right notices, and the deadlines that matter. We keep up to date with the law, so you don’t have to.

  • Lose track of it all?

    Messages, maintenance, inspections, and tax-time-ready financials together, with Radar as the to-do list that watches your data for you.

Inside the app

A look inside Tenwise.

Drafting the ad, screening applicants, tracking the rent, watching your tax position, staying on top of compliance dates, keeping your trades on hand. The parts of a tenancy you’d normally pay an agent to handle, for $19 a month instead of a slice of your rent.

How it works

How it works, end to end.

Four steps from a fresh signup to rent landing in your bank account, and each step carries your data forward, so an approved applicant becomes the lease tenant becomes the rent payer without re-keying anything.

  1. 1

    List the property

    Paste a realestate.com.au or Domain URL to prefill, or enter the details yourself. AI drafts the ad in seconds. Publish a listing page and share it wherever you reach tenants.

  2. 2

    Screen applicants

    Enquiries land in your inbox; invite the strongest to apply. Applications arrive with the same fields for everyone, ranked by a fit score. You decide.

  3. 3

    Sign the lease

    Your approved tenant signs the state-specific agreement online, with the condition report alongside. The bond goes to the state authority, never Tenwise.

  4. 4

    Collect the rent

    Your tenant pays rent straight to your bank; Tenwise reminds, matches and receipts. Radar watches what needs you.

Compliance

How Tenwise keeps you on the right side of the law.

Self-management means you manage your own property, and Tenwise builds the rails so you do it within the rules.

  • We're not your agent. You are. Tenwise is the software; you stay in charge of your tenancy.
  • Tenwise never holds your money. Rent moves by direct bank transfer from your tenant straight to you. We never hold it. See where your rent goes
  • Bond goes straight to your state's bond authority (in NSW, Rental Bonds Online). It's their job to hold it, not ours.
  • When the law changes, your lease template updates and we tell you what's different, so you're not the last to know. See what's changed

Tenwise isn’t legal advice. Our lease templates and consent flows are reviewed by an Australian property lawyer before launch.

What an agent charges

Compares one property. Agent figures assume mid-range NSW fees with one new tenancy in the year (letting + renewal both apply); some charge less, some more, and inspections, statements and marketing are usually extra. Tenwise is $19/month for your first property and $9/month for each additional, regardless of rent or turnover.

  • What's the catch?
    The catch is your time. Tenwise does the paperwork (the listing, the screening checks, the lease, the rent reminders), but you make the decisions: which tenant, what rent, when to act on arrears. Plan on a few hours per new tenancy and minutes a month after that. We’ve itemised it in the honest hours. The trade in return: $19 a month instead of a percentage of your rent.
  • What if something goes wrong?
    If a tenant goes into arrears, our software flags it the day rent is missed and sends a reminder. If they stay in arrears, you follow your state's process (we walk you through it). If you need to issue a termination notice, the templates are state-specific. If you'd rather hand off to an agent, your data exports as CSV and you can leave any time.
  • Is my data safe?
    Tenant data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We host on Australian infrastructure where possible. We don't collect identity documents; application details and screening consents are kept only as long as tenancy and tax law require (typically 7 years after a tenancy ends). You can request a full export or deletion at any point.
  • Can I switch back to an agent later?
    Yes. Tenwise doesn't lock you in. Your lease, bond receipts, rental ledger, and tenant contact details export as CSV. Most agents will pick up an active tenancy mid-stream.
  • Do my tenants need a Tenwise account?
    Applying and signing the lease works from email links, no account required. Once a tenancy is active, your tenant can opt in to a free tenant portal (lease documents, messages, maintenance requests, inspections) or keep using email if they prefer. Either way, tenants never pay Tenwise anything.
  • Which states do you support?
    NSW first, then VIC and QLD. Each state has its own lease templates, bond authority, and notice rules, so we add them deliberately rather than all at once.
  • How is Tenwise billed?
    Per property, scaling cleanly: $19 a month for your first property and $9 a month for each additional, for as many as you own. Pay yearly to save (about 17%): $189 for the first property, $89 each additional. Monthly starts with a free first month; annual comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Billed via Stripe; cancel any time from Settings. The one cost that isn't ours is a tenancy-database check: when those arrive and you choose to run one, the provider's fee is passed through at cost.
