Keep Zillow Rental Manager

Zillow finds the tenant. Sproutly helps with the dates and paperwork.

Nothing moves. Keep rent collection and listings on Zillow. When a tenant is late, a rent increase is due, or a tenant moves out, enter the rent, the tenant, the address and the dates in one form here, free. The statement and the notice fill in with what you enter, with the official source linked, and the proof of service is recorded.

Nothing moves. Rent stays on Zillow Rental Manager. The tenancy you enter here exists to compute the notice.

Sproutly

Price to you
$0 for rent tracking and reminders, leases, applications, maintenance and the portal, on every unit.
What the tenant pays
Nothing when they pay you directly by Zelle, bill-pay or check. Online card payments carry a processing fee set by the processor (estimated at 2.9% plus 30 cents, paid by the tenant). They are on by default and one switch turns them off. Online bank transfer through Sproutly is not offered right now.
California notices and paperwork
Pay-or-quit notice, rent increase notice and deposit statement forms, all free. Each one is drafted from the values you enter, with a place to record how it was served. You check the official source. General information, not legal advice.
City ordinances

Three things Zillow Rental Manager does not do

Where the notice earns its place

One form, no migration

A tenancy takes two minutes to enter. Rent stays wherever it is collected today.

The deposit statement

A day count from key return, a dated photo record, the itemization with receipts, the mailing record. Zillow has none of it. Where to check the deposit rules: Civ. Code 1950.5.

The pay-or-quit deadline you confirm

You enter the days or the deadline and Sproutly prints it on the notice, fills the amount from your entries, and warns before you record a partial payment while the notice is open. Where to check how the days are counted: Code of Civil Procedure 1161 and 12a.
