How it works
RentMate connects tenants and landlords through a structured, transparent process — no more chaos, no more black holes.
Build your rental CV once — employment details, income, references, documents, and a short introduction. Landlords see a complete, structured profile instead of scattered emails.
Browse available properties across Ireland. Filter by county, bedrooms, budget, pets, and more. All listings are from verified landlords on RentMate.
When you find a property you like, apply instantly. Your Tenant Profile is sent to the landlord automatically — no copy-pasting, no PDFs, no chasing.
See exactly where each application stands: Sent → Viewed → Shortlisted → Viewing invited → Decision. No more wondering if your email was ever read.
Use the RTB Assistant to get answers about your tenant rights, deposits, notice periods, and more — powered by AI trained on Irish tenancy law.
Add your rental in minutes. Upload photos, set rent, describe the property. Your listing is live to all tenants on RentMate. Free until 1 October 2026 — then €19/month.
Every application includes a complete Tenant Profile — employment, income, references, documents. No more chasing information across 30 separate emails.
Move applications through clear stages: Shortlist → Invite viewing → Make offer → Accept. Tenants always know their status — fewer frustrated follow-ups.
Message tenants directly within RentMate. Real-time notifications when tenants apply or respond. All communications in one place.
Use the free Landlord Compliance Checker to see where you stand on RTB registration, rent controls, notice requirements and property standards. Generate legally-grounded lease agreements with our AI Lease Generator.
The RTB Assistant answers questions about notice periods, rent increases, rent controls, termination grounds and more — in plain English.
For tenants, RentMate is free to use — browse listings, apply to properties, and track your applications at no cost. Free tenants can submit up to 5 applications per month. Tenant Pro (€9/month) removes this limit and adds priority listing, AI cover letters, and more. For landlords, all listings are free until 1 October 2026 as part of our launch promotion. After that, it's €19/month per listing.
Daft is a listing aggregator — it shows you properties and you contact landlords yourself. RentMate is a rental platform: structured tenant profiles, one-tap applications, real-time status tracking, messaging, compliance tools, and AI assistance. Less noise, more signal.
We ask landlords to confirm they have the legal right to let their property. Full verification (title deed checking) is on our roadmap. In the meantime, all landlords must register with the RTB — we display RTB numbers on listings and encourage tenants to verify.
The landlord can generate a tenancy agreement using our AI Lease Generator (free until 1 October 2026, €9 per document after). From there, the tenancy proceeds offline — signing, key handover, and RTB registration are handled between the parties.
RentMate is built on Supabase (EU-hosted), secured with Row Level Security, and GDPR-compliant. Your profile data is only shared with landlords when you apply to their property. You can delete your account and all data at any time from your account settings.
The RTB Assistant is powered by Claude (Anthropic's AI) and kept up to date with Irish tenancy law, including the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 and the Housing and Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2026. It provides guidance — not legal advice. For complex situations, always consult a solicitor or Threshold (threshold.ie).
Two waves of change. From 1 March 2026: rent controls apply nationwide, with increases capped at the lower of CPI or 2%; rent reviews moved from every 24 months to every 12 months; and tenancies created on or after that date carry a Tenancy of Minimum Duration, giving rolling 6-year security of tenure. Smaller landlords (3 or fewer tenancies) and larger landlords (companies, or 4 or more tenancies) now have different termination grounds. From 14 September 2026: the RTB can issue fixed payment notices of €200 for rent breaches and €100 for others; all RTB adjudication hearings are held in public with full reports published; landlords have 7 days to send the RTB a copy of a notice of termination or rent review; and notices of termination must no longer be sent by post.
