The core loop

One loop, closed end to end

Most rental products own a slice — discovery, or paperwork, or payments — and hand you off at the seams. That is where trust leaks. RentLao carries a single transaction from listing to rent, and records every step.

  1. Verified listing

    A listing is published against a verified property identity, with the owner's approval on record. Two brokers listing the same flat resolve to one property unit, and the duplicate is flagged for review.

  2. KYC-verified parties

    Aadhaar verified through DigiLocker, PAN checked against the official PAN and Aadhaar records, and a live selfie matched to the Aadhaar photo — via SurePass. Nobody transacts unverified, and the badge is derived server-side, never self-claimed.

  3. Site visit booked

    The tenant picks a slot from the broker's live calendar. Capacity is enforced at the database, so a slot cannot be double-booked under load. Both sides get a reminder.

  4. Lease drafted on-platform

    Generated from a counsel-approved template. Rent, deposit, tenure and the owner/broker split are snapshotted onto the lease — later changes to the relationship never rewrite a lease already in flight.

  5. Registered at the Sub-Registrar

    Offline by design

    Signing, stamping and registration happen in person under IGR Maharashtra. RentLao ops track the queue by age, then upload the registered document straight into the tenant's and owner's vault.

  6. Rent collected & split

    UPI Autopay or a NACH eMandate collects on the due date. The owner and broker are paid their agreed shares, TDS is drafted at the right section, and every rupee reconciles against the bank settlement.

Every state change, every money movement and every KYC event writes an immutable entry to an append-only, hash-chained audit log. Records cannot be edited or deleted after the fact — not by a broker, not by an owner, not by RentLao.

The platform

Six pillars, built as one system

Role-based access for five roles, a multi-language interface in Hindi, English and Marathi, and an append-only audit trail run across all of it.

  • Trust & Identity

    KYC for every party via SurePass — Aadhaar, PAN and liveness — surfaced as verified trust badges on people and listings alike.

  • Broker Enablement

    WhatsApp listing capture, branded PDF flyers, an inventory and leads pipeline, and a Trust Score the broker actually owns.

  • Lease & Registration

    On-platform lease drafting, then offline IGR Maharashtra registration tracked to completion instead of disappearing into a WhatsApp thread.

  • Automated Rent & Split

    Razorpay UPI Autopay and NACH eMandate collection, with configurable owner / broker split payouts and paise-exact reconciliation.

  • Digital Vault

    Encrypted, India-resident storage for leases, KYC artefacts and move-in / move-out walkthrough videos. Access is derived, logged, and granted through short-lived links.

  • Admin & Audit

    An ops console for the IGR queue, payment reconciliation, deposits and sub-users — over an append-only audit log with a verifiable hash chain.

Human + AI

A WhatsApp message becomes a listing

Brokers lose roughly twenty minutes per listing to data entry. Send a text or a voice note in Hindi, Hinglish, English or Marathi and get a structured draft back in seconds.

  • Voice notes work too. Dictating on the move counts as valid intake, not a fallback.
  • Nothing publishes itself. Fields the parser is unsure about are flagged, and a low-confidence parse drops to a manual edit rather than going live.
  • The owner still approves. A listing cannot reach the public catalogue without the property owner’s recorded approval.

Who it's for

Three sides of the same transaction

Each party gets its own app, its own permissions and its own view of the truth — over one shared record.

Brokers

Mobile app + web dashboard

Keep the relationship and the commission. Get the tooling of a large agency.

  • Turn a WhatsApp text or voice note into a publishable listing
  • Inventory, leads and a visit calendar that cannot double-book
  • Branded PDF flyers, generated and shareable by link
  • Commission paid automatically out of each collection
  • A Trust Score built from completed leases, not reviews from strangers

Property owners

Mobile app

Predictable rent, on a known date, with the paperwork already filed.

  • Approve every listing and every lease before it goes anywhere
  • Portfolio view with a rent ledger down to the paise
  • Rent collected automatically and paid out as your agreed share
  • TDS drafted at the right section, with 26QC / 27Q export
  • NRI owners supported, including NRO payout routing

Tenants

Mobile app

Know who you are dealing with before you hand over a deposit.

  • Browse verified listings without signing up
  • Book a real slot from the broker's live calendar
  • One-time KYC at booking, not at browsing
  • Registered lease, move-in walkthrough video, and both in your vault
  • Ask questions about your own lease and get answers with citations

Brokers can also add sub-users— office staff who work the full dashboard on the broker’s behalf. Their actions are attributed to them individually, while ownership of the listing, the client and the commission stays with the broker.

Trust & security

Why the badge means something

A trust platform that cannot prove its claims is a listings site with better copy. These are the controls behind ours.

Identity, checked at the source
Aadhaar verified through DigiLocker, PAN validated against the official PAN and Aadhaar records, and a live selfie matched to the Aadhaar photo. A manual override needs two different staff members — the one who requests it cannot be the one who approves it.
Personal data encrypted at rest
Mobile numbers and bank account numbers are encrypted in the database. Lookups run against keyed hashes, and screens show only the last four digits.
Documents in a vault, not an inbox
Leases, KYC artefacts and walkthrough videos are stored encrypted, each under its own key, and reached only through short-lived links. Every access is recorded.
Data stays in India
The platform runs in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) — application, database, backups and documents. India-residency is a requirement, not a setting.
An audit log that cannot be rewritten
Every state change, money movement and KYC event is appended and hash-chained to the entry before it. Removing or altering a record breaks the chain, and the break is detectable.
Permissions enforced at the API
Five roles, checked server-side on every request. Never trust the client — hiding a button is not access control.

Scope, stated plainly

What ships first, and what comes after

The core trust loop ships before the clever additions. Several AI features shown in the product pitch are deliberately deferred so that the loop is complete and correct on day one.

Live at launch

  • UPI Autopay / NACH collection with a configurable owner–broker split

Lease registration itself is completed with the Sub-Registrar under IGR Maharashtra — in person, as the law requires. RentLao tracks it to completion and files the registered document back to both parties.

Three apps. One verified record.

Brokers, owners and tenants each get a native app. Brokers, their office staff and RentLao operations also work on the web.
