About
Why we built Stoep
Stoep runs residential lettings for landlords who manage their own units. It issues monthly invoices, collects rent by debit order or pay link, and chases arrears automatically. Move-in and move-out inspections are captured on a phone with the tenant, and the deposit is tracked in an interest-bearing account with every deduction tied to a receipt. Tenants log maintenance requests with photos, and landlords dispatch contractors from the same screen. Leases, renewals and escalations are generated from templates. Landlords subscribe because they collect rent on time, avoid deposit disputes and keep a clean record if a matter reaches the Rental Housing Tribunal.
The problem
Rent, deposits, inspections and repairs are run from a banking app, WhatsApp and memory.
What changes
Rental Housing Act duties built into the daily workflow, priced for owners of a few units rather than agencies.
