Tenants send repair requests on a form, and each one is tracked until it is fixed.
Issues takes requests from a form, with the tenant's email, into Triage. You accept each one into a project, such as Repairs, with a priority.
Each request has its own status, assignee and due date. Labels can name the building.
Each tenant's rent invoice goes out every month.
Invoicing repeats a tenant's rent and parking as a recurring invoice. It is issued and emailed on its date. Tenants pay by card from the email.
Payments go into your own Stripe account, with no Magpie fee. A payment by bank transfer can be recorded on the invoice.
Every tenant, applicant and contractor has a record, with the next follow-up.
Contacts keeps each person with their flat or company, tags and notes. A follow-up is a To-do with a date, such as a lease renewal.
A tenant's invoices and signed documents show on their page.
Your lease goes out for signature, and comes back with a certificate.
E-Signatures sends your own lease PDF, with fields placed for each signer. A starter keeps the lease, so the next one needs only names and emails.
Reminders go out every 3 or 7 days. Everyone gets the signed PDF and a certificate of completion.
Keys and appliances are on record, with who has them.
Asset Tracker keeps each appliance and set of keys with its location and condition. Purchase and warranty details are seen by admins only.
You sign keys out to a contractor with a due date. Overdue keys have their own list.
The books keep themselves as rent comes in.
Accounting keeps double-entry books, with invoice payments and Stripe payouts posted automatically. Bank statements import as CSV files.
The profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow are ready when your accountant asks. Check the rules where you file.
Five more areas cover repair costs, inspections, applications, private papers and email.
- Expenses
- Expenses records each repair bill with its receipt, by building.
- Calendar
- Calendar holds inspections and viewings.
- Forms
- Forms takes rental applications, with the questions you choose.
- Secure Files
- Secure Files keeps signed leases and IDs encrypted, in your own account.
- Mail gives your domain a mailbox such as repairs@.

Plans
A landlord working alone fits Pro, for your own work in Personal. A management company with staff fits the Team plan.
Tenants who send requests, pay or sign are not added to your team. Magpie adds no fee to rent payments, and Stripe's processing fee applies to each card payment. Prices are on the Pricing page.
Other people who look after buildings have pages of their own.
Builders and renovators
A builder quotes, schedules and bills each job.
Cleaning companies
A cleaning company runs crews, checklists and invoices.
Questions landlords ask
Can tenants report repairs online?
Yes. A repair form takes the title, the details and the tenant's email. Each request waits in Triage until you accept it.

Yes. A saved view lists the open requests, with their status, assignee and due date. Labels can name each building.
Can rent be invoiced automatically?
Yes. A recurring invoice repeats each tenant's rent every month and emails it on its date. Tenants pay by card from the email.
Can tenants sign the lease online?
Yes. E-Signatures sends your lease PDF with the signers' fields placed. Everyone gets the signed PDF and a certificate of completion.
Can I keep track of keys?
Yes. You sign each set of keys out to a contractor, with a due date. Overdue keys have their own list.
Can I keep the books here?
Yes. Accounting keeps double-entry books, with rent payments and Stripe payouts posted automatically. An accountant can be invited as a guest.
Can I take rental applications?
Yes. A form asks the questions you choose, with file uploads for documents. Every application comes into one list.
