01 / THE LEASE
Rent on the schedule you actually use.
Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Set the rent, the start date and the cadence once, and every invoice after that generates itself from the lease.
Rent that collects itself, unit by unit.
Houzito runs the whole cycle for independent landlords: leases on weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedules, rent paid online, roommates splitting the bill, reminders and late fees handled without you chasing anyone.
No card required to set up your first property
02 / THE INVOICE
Every cycle bills itself.
On the due date the invoice is already there, with the payment window you set and a total the tenant can pay by card or bank in one tap.
03 / THE SPLIT
Roommates pay their own share.
Assign each housemate a percentage or a fixed amount. Everyone gets their own invoice and their own card, and nobody has to front the difference.
04 / THE PAYOUT
The full rent lands with you.
Processing is grossed up onto the tenant total, reminders and late fees run on their own, and the amount that reaches your account is the rent on the lease.
Capabilities
Built around how rent actually moves.
Not a generic CRM with a rent field bolted on. Every part of Houzito exists because a landlord or a tenant hits it on the first of the month.
The differentiator
Roommates split the rent, and nobody fronts it.
Assign each roommate a share of the lease. Houzito issues a separate invoice per person, each with its own payment link and its own card. The rent is only paid when the last share clears, and you never mediate between housemates again.
- Shares are rounded so they always add back up to the rent exactly, down to the cent.
- Processing is calculated on each roommate's own share, not on the whole lease.
- Roommates join through the same invite flow as the primary tenant, by email or phone.
- The lease invoice flips to paid on its own once every share lands.
Properties and units
Every building you own, broken down unit by unit. Occupancy, rent roll and status read at a glance, whether you hold one duplex or forty doors.
Leases on any schedule
Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Set the rent, the start date and the cadence, and invoices generate themselves from the next due date onward.
Online rent, full amount to you
Tenants pay by card or bank on the platform. Processing costs are grossed up onto the tenant's total, so the rent that lands in your account is the rent on the lease.
Autopay or manual, per lease
Each tenant chooses. Autopay charges the same card every cycle without anyone lifting a finger. Manual sends an invoice and a payment link instead.
Payment windows and late fees
Set a due date and a window. Reminders go out on the due day and again before the window closes. When it closes, the invoice flips to overdue and the late fee applies on its own.
Maintenance with photo proof
Tenants report an issue from the portal with photos or video attached. You see the evidence, the unit and the history before you send anyone out.
Expenses and P&L
Log expenses with the receipt attached and get net operating income per property, worst margin first. You know which door is actually earning.
Documents per tenant
Signed leases, addenda, notices and inspection reports filed against the right tenant. Mark a document visible and it shows up in their portal.
Team members
Bring in a co-owner, a property manager or a bookkeeper. They join your organization by email invite and work from the same records you do.
Tenant portal
Tenants get their lease, their balance, their payment history, their receipts and their maintenance requests. Fewer texts asking what is owed.
Roommate splits
One lease, several people, separate invoices. Nobody has to front the whole rent and chase the rest of the house for it.

How it works
Three steps, then it is mostly automatic.
Setup takes an afternoon for a small portfolio. After that the cycle repeats without you rebuilding it every month.
- 01
Add the property and its units
Create the property, list the units inside it and record the rent for each one. A single-family home is one unit. A triplex is three.
- 02
Create the lease, invite the tenant
Pick the rent, the schedule and the start date, then invite the tenant by email or text. Roommates get their own invite and their own share of the rent.
- 03
Rent runs on its own
Invoices generate on schedule, reminders go out, payments settle to your account and late fees apply when the window closes. You step in only when something actually needs you.
Two sides
One system, and both sides can see it.
Owners get the ledger. Tenants get certainty. Most rent disputes are really disagreements about what was owed and when it was paid, so both sides read from the same record.
For owners
Run the portfolio, not the inbox.
For tenants
Know what is due, and pay it.
01Rent roll, occupancy and outstanding balances across every property you own.
01A clear balance and due date, with the receipt archived after every payment.
02Payouts to your own bank account through Stripe, with the platform fee carried by the tenant.
02Pay by card or bank, or turn on autopay and stop thinking about it.
03Invoices generated automatically from each lease schedule, never by hand.
03Roommates pay their own share only, on their own card.
04Expenses with receipts, and net operating income per property.
04Reminders before the payment window closes, so late fees stay hypothetical.
05Maintenance requests with photo and video evidence attached.
05Maintenance requests filed with photos, and status they can follow.
06Team members with access to the same organization and records.
06Lease documents and notices in one place, not buried in a text thread.

Rent payments are processed by Stripe. The processing cost and the platform fee are added to the tenant's total, so the amount that reaches your account is the rent written on the lease, whichever plan you are on.
FAQ
A few questions, answered up front.
The short version of how rent, fees and splits work. The full list covers plans, billing and more.
Who pays the processing fee, the landlord or the tenant?
The tenant. The processing cost and Houzito's platform fee are added to the tenant's total at checkout, so the amount that reaches the landlord's account is always the exact rent written on the lease.
How does splitting rent between roommates work?
A lease can be split among roommates by percentage or by fixed amount. Each roommate gets their own invoice and their own payment link, and the lease's invoice is marked paid once every share has cleared.
How are roommate shares rounded?
With the largest-remainder method: each share is rounded down, then any leftover cents go to the largest share, so the shares always add back up to the exact rent.
What happens if a tenant pays late?
A reminder goes out on the due day and again before the payment window closes. If it closes unpaid, the invoice is marked overdue and a late fee applies automatically.
What is the difference between autopay and manual billing?
Autopay saves a card and charges it every cycle automatically. Manual billing sends an invoice and a payment link, and the tenant pays it themselves. Each tenant chooses per lease.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. The Free plan requires no card and covers up to 3 properties with the full feature set.
