Sproutly organizes rent, leases, notices and records, and summarizes the statewide California rules in plain words with the statute and the date each was checked. You decide every legal value and check the official source we link. Drafts are yours to review.
Free for every unit, no card. Try the rent increase calculator.
Sproutly is software, not a law firm. It gives general information, not legal advice.
A card payment can be disputed later, and the card company can take the money back. On Sproutly one switch turns cards off for your whole account. Cards are on by default. The processor sets the fee, which is an estimate shown to the tenant before they pay, and it is added to their payment, not charged to you. A tenant who pays you directly by Zelle, bill-pay or check pays nothing.
Accepting part of the rent after a late notice can affect that notice. Sproutly shows a warning before you report a partial rent while a notice is open, and you decide whether to accept it. Ask an attorney if you are unsure.
A tenant who pays you directly pays nothing, with no $2 charge per payment. Card payments are optional, and the tenant pays the card fee. No $39 to $79 per lease. The California lease builder and the disclosure forms are included.
Works beside your current rent app, or replaces it. Bring your tenants over from TurboTenant, Avail, Baselane or RentRedi with one file. See how it sits next to TurboTenant, Avail, Zillow, Baselane, Innago or any of the others.
The free apps give you a lease template that works in any state. The California rules page in Sproutly shows a general summary of 12 statewide California rules, each with its statute and the date it was last checked, and greys a summary out once a year has passed or a new law has taken effect. You decide how a rule applies and enter each legal value; Sproutly handles the arithmetic, layout and tracking.
Sproutly is software, not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice. If your city or county has its own rent program, Sproutly shows a Where to check card naming the agency, with a link, for 65 California cities and counties. It does not state city rules; you check them at the source and enter the values that apply. Every California city and county also has a public rent rules page that links the state statute, the local agency where there is one, and the county court self-help page.
DepositYou enter the return deadline you checked at the official source. Sproutly tracks the date, reminds you, and lays out the deposit statement from the amounts you enter.
Rent increaseYou enter the notice period and any cap you checked at the official source. Sproutly does the arithmetic, drafts the notice from your numbers, and tracks the date.
Late rentYou enter the notice period. Sproutly fills in the amount from your ledger, tracks the date you set, and gives you a form to record how you delivered it.
Deposit amountYou enter the deposit amount and the limit you checked at the official source. Sproutly records both and keeps the receipt with the lease.
PhotosSproutly asks for photos at move-in and at move-out, and stores them with the unit so they are there when you need them.
Each step of renting out a home lives in one place and hands off to the next.
Send applicants a link, collect their documents, and review them in the order they came in. You enter the application fee and check the limit at the official source.
Build a California lease from your terms, attach the disclosures you choose, send it, and your tenant signs from their phone.
Rent is charged on the due date you set and reminders go out on a schedule. You see what to expect each month. Report a problem only if rent does not arrive; late fees wait for your OK.
Tenants send repair requests from their own page. You pick a vendor and keep the whole conversation in one place.
Notice dates and deadlines you enter, from returning a deposit to raising the rent, on one list with reminders.
Tenants sign in with an email code, same as you. They see their lease, what they owe, and their repair requests.
Most landlord apps give you a lease template. A notice sent a day late or a wrong number costs money. Sproutly tracks the dates you enter and reminds you before they pass.
Sproutly does not tell you what the law is. Each legal value is one you enter, next to a link to the official source so you can check it or take it to a California attorney.
Made for owners with a handful of doors, not a portfolio. No per-unit pricing, no sales call, no enterprise anything.
TurboTenant, Avail, Zillow and Baselane are free to you, and so is Sproutly. The notice forms, the deposit statement layout, the California rules page and the date reminders are included too, at no charge, as often as you need them. Sproutly earns from partners a tenant may choose at move-in, such as internet, movers and renters insurance, and never from the landlord.
Unlimited units. Rent tracking and reminders, the tenant portal, leases, applications, notice and deposit statement forms, and date tracking, all included.
No card, no trial that ends, no fee to you or to a tenant who pays you directly.Start freeEnter your units and rent and see what a year costs on Sproutly next to TurboTenant, Avail, Zillow, Baselane and the others. Everything on this page is free, with no trial that ends.
An applicant will be able to buy their own credit and background report, with the price shown before they pay. Until then you set your criteria, collect documents and decide.
Sproutly is for California landlords. Nothing is charged to you. A tenant who pays you directly pays nothing.
