Best rent collection apps for small landlords

For 1–20 units. Not a 200-door stack. Some links may be affiliates.

Start here

• TurboTenant — listings, screening, rent. Strong free tier for DIY owners.
• Stessa — books, Schedule E-ish reports, some collection tools.
• Baselane — landlord banking + bookkeeping + rent.
• Avail — leases and listings, Realtor.com-backed.

If you outgrow free tools (roughly 20+ units or you are managing for others), look at Buildium or DoorLoop. Do not buy enterprise software for two houses.
