For room & co-living landlords

Rent by the room, without the group chat

Renting a house by the room, running a co-living home, or house hacking a place you live in means collecting from several people who each owe their own share. RentMerchant bills each room on its own invoice so you are never the one splitting the rent or chasing the one housemate who is short.

The usual headaches

Several tenants, one house

Each housemate owes their own share, and a single lump bill turns into a group-chat argument.

One late roommate stalls everyone

When rent is pooled, one short housemate makes the whole payment late.

Rooms turn over independently

Housemates move in and out on their own timelines, not one lease date.

How RentMerchant helps

A recurring invoice per room

Each housemate is billed their own share directly, so nobody collects from anyone else.

Everyone pays their own

Each person pays online and can set autopay, so one late roommate never holds up the rest.

Add or swap a housemate in minutes

When someone moves out, close their room and set up the next without touching the others.
