About

August is a UK-based property management app built specifically for small landlords who want a simple, compliant way to manage their rental properties. The platform focuses on compliance obligations, offering automated reminders for key requirements like Safety Certificates and tenancy documents. A standout feature is its integrated August Intelligence which allows users to upload a tenancy document and the app then populates the property and tenancy automatically. It also provides contextually aware responses to questions the landlord has on their properties or tenancies, like “what was may void period on the property on Hawthorn Road”. The interface is clean, mobile-native and easy to navigate, making it ideal for landlords with one to ten properties. Their tenants can use the app too. While August doesn’t offer accounting yet their website does indicate this is coming. For self-managing landlords, August offers a lightweight, robust alternative to complex web-based tools.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is so intuitive to use. I uploaded my tenancy agreements and it filled in everything! Market value, EPC rating, tax bands, compliance dates, even property-specific action lists. What used to take me hours and hours of tedium entry data manually took less than 5 minutes for all five properties. Getting my tenants on board was just as easy. I can upload a certificate or agreement and send it off with the click of a button. No more printing or scanning. It is difficult to find software that does this much without being complex.

Cons

  • They still don't allow to log expenses so I can't get rid of my spreadsheet yet. Also I wish they had all the calculators on the website in the app.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1. After years of managing properties, having leasing, applications, tenant records, payments, maintenance and accounting under one PMS saves a ridiculous amount of back and forth. 2. RentPost handles the financial side properly with ledgers, receivables, payables, owner balances and reporting. 3. Tenant and owner portals take care of a lot of routine questions without everything landing in my inbox. 4. Online applications and tenant screening make the leasing side much easier to keep organized.
  • I don't have to deal with concessions often, which is probably why they always used to throw me off. There's usually a perfectly reasonable explanation for the adjustment, but then I'm left trying to make sure the tenant's balance reflects it correctly and the accounting still makes sense afterward. RentPost gives me a way to record credits and concessions against the account rather than making some mysterious spreadsheet adjustment and hoping future me understands what past me was doing. I can see the charge and the adjustment together, which has been particularly helpful when I'm reviewing an account months later.
  • 1. The support team was helpful during setup and didn't make me feel like I was bothering them with basic questions. 2. They understood the property management side of things instead of just pointing me toward generic documentation. 3. Getting started felt much less stressful because I knew someone could help if I got stuck.
  • The expense tracking tools are straightforward and let me attach receipts right where they belong, which saves so much time. Work order and maintenance management keeps every tenant request linked to the right property and automatically updates the status as things get done, so nothing falls through the cracks. Everything is connected, and I can see the full picture of expenses and tasks in a single view.
  • 1. Double-entry ledger and chart of accounts are set up out of the box, so I don’t have to spend hours setting up categories. 2. Reconciling accounts and tracking income/expenses for multiple properties is way simpler now. 3. Generating financial statements for owners is painless, which keeps everyone happy.

Cons

  • New users may need some time to understand the accounting and workflow setup like I did.
  • It took me a little time to understand how I wanted to handle different types of credits so that we were being consistent.
  • I would like to see more detailed guides for some of the less commonly used features. Sometimes I still prefer figuring things out on my own first.
  • A few maintenance workflows could use more customization to fit unique properties, and while the mobile version is handy, I still prefer the desktop version for larger batches of tasks.
  • The learning curve was a little steep at first if you’re not used to accounting jargon.
