The Story
Building a Complete Multi-Tenant SaaS Platform for Modern Property Management
Rentatee was designed to revolutionize property management by building a complete, enterprise-grade SaaS platform serving landlords, property managers, unit owners, and tenants. Jetpack Labs delivered a fully-integrated ecosystem including a marketing website, multi-role web and mobile applications, sophisticated financial systems, and advanced AI-powered automation. The platform handles the entire lifecycle: lead generation, tenant screening and verification, application management, rent collection and payments, financial reporting with AI-assisted tax extraction, lease management, and real-time operational dashboards. Built from the ground up as a multi-tenant platform, Rentatee supports multiple organizational hierarchies with granular role-based access control and company-scoped data isolation. Our mission was to replace manual spreadsheets, fragmented systems, and inefficient workflows with intelligent automation that drives measurable ROI for property managers while creating a seamless experience for tenants.
The Challenge
Engineering a Scalable Multi-Tenant Platform with Complex Financial & Compliance Requirements
Building Rentatee required solving multiple interconnected challenges across technology, product, and operations:
Multi-Tenant Architecture: Designing a system where multiple property management companies could operate independently with complete data isolation while sharing infrastructure—requiring sophisticated database scoping, permission models, and organizational hierarchies.
Financial Integration Complexity: Integrating with multiple payment processors (Paysafe, Checkbook) for ACH, EFT, and credit card processing while ensuring PCI compliance, proper fund routing, and reconciliation across multiple currencies and jurisdictions.
AI-Powered Screening & Verification: Automating tenant screening by integrating with background check services (Verifast, Certn) while maintaining compliance with fair housing regulations and managing verification workflows at scale.
Advanced Financial Automation: Building accounting features including owner statements, vendor management, expense tracking, and AI-assisted tax extraction—automating year-end reporting that typically requires manual effort.
Real-Time Dashboards & Analytics: Creating real-time KPI dashboards for cash flow analysis, tenant satisfaction metrics, and market performance with complex SQL queries and data aggregation.
Scalability for Growth: Engineering the entire system to scale from MVP to handling hundreds of companies, thousands of properties, and millions of lease transactions while maintaining performance and reliability.
