Latchkey or Rentila

Letting in England or Wales? Latchkey is built for it.

Rentila is used in several countries, the UK among them, and has a free plan for one property. Latchkey is for England and Wales only, with the law there built in. Their side comes from Rentila’s public website as of October 2026.

14 days free. No card needed.

The short version

Which one to pick

Pick Rentila if

You let in more than one country, you want the app in another language, or you have one property and want a free plan. Those are good reasons.

Pick Latchkey if

You let in England or Wales and want deposit deadlines, notices, repair deadlines and your SA105 figures handled to the rules that apply there.

Built for England and Wales

Where each one stands

Their column is read from Rentila’s public website in October 2026, not from using their product. Partly means Latchkey does some of it today and the rest is coming. If we’ve got something wrong, email hello@latchkey.co.uk and we’ll correct it.
