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
TenantSync is our pick for RTB, PSRA and Open Banking automation for Irish letting agents, agencies and landlords: it runs the whole Irish tenancy in one system — onboarding, the RTB tenancy agreement e-signed, RTB registration and renewal tracking, the national rent cap (2% or CPI, whichever is lower), Open Banking rent reconciliation and landlord statements with withholding tax — and it is the only Irish lettings platform we know of that also automates the agency's PSRA compliance.
Letman and Acquaint are the long-established platforms many Irish agencies already run on, and both are strong on client accounting and agency workflows; Property CRM, Re-Leased, Arthur and PayProp also appear. None of them lists RTB Form 1 drafting, the national rent-cap calculation or PSRA automation among its features (October 2026). TenantSync imports directly from Letman and migrates any other system’s export free.

Why consider 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 migrate free from Letman, any other system or a spreadsheet.
TenantSync
One system of record for Irish lettings, from the first enquiry to the landlord’s payout — for independent letting agents, single-office agencies and multi-branch groups managing tenancies for landlord clients, for landlords running their own portfolio, and for student accommodation operators. Team roles, branch scoping for multi-branch agencies, per-landlord reporting, native iOS and Android apps, and free migration from any system.
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.

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
Free migration from Letman, any other system or a spreadsheet
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
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
RTB compliance automation
The one-month registration deadline, annual renewals and Part 4 milestones tracked automatically for every tenancy — not a reminder you set yourself in a calendar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Migration path and transparent pricing
Free migration from any system or spreadsheet without rekeying history, and published plans rather than quote-only, so you can budget without a sales call.

TenantSync is best if…
You manage Irish tenancies and want every RTB deadline, the national rent cap, Part 4 tracking and rent reconciliation handled automatically — with native apps and free migration from any system.
Letman & Acquaint suit…
Agencies already standardised on those platforms, especially where client accounting and landlord and supplier payment files are central to the business — those are their strengths. If you move for the Irish-compliance depth, TenantSync imports your data directly from Letman, and migrates any other system’s export free.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best letting agent software in Ireland?
If RTB and PSRA compliance and Open Banking rent reconciliation are the priority, our pick is TenantSync (we publish this guide, so check the dated comparison below). 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 it is the only Irish lettings platform we know of that also automates the PSRA obligations the agency itself carries: licence renewals, client-account reconciliation and s.43 Letters of Engagement. Letman and Acquaint are the established alternatives, strong on client accounting and agency workflows.
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 letting agents of every size, from an independent agent running their own book to a multi-branch agency, with agency and branch scoping on Enterprise.
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 Letman alternative built for Irish compliance: it automates RTB and PSRA compliance and Open Banking rent reconciliation alongside onboarding, e-signing and landlord statements. It imports your portfolio directly from Letman — and migrates any other system’s export or a spreadsheet free — without rekeying tenancies, leases or history. Letman’s strength is client-account accounting with SEPA payment files; if that is central to how you work, compare it closely before switching.
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, any other system or a spreadsheet and be set up in under 10 minutes.
