Rental management software for residential and commercial property

All those common in Germany: fixed rent, stepped rent (§ 557a BGB) with any number of stages, index rent (§ 557b BGB) with CPI linkage, rent reduction, subletting, residential and commercial contracts with different VAT treatment. Each contract can maintain separate charge accounts for base rent and advance payments for heating and operating costs.

With stepped rent, adjustments are made automatically on the agreed effective date. With index rent, the monthly CPI change published by the Federal Statistical Office is processed. For a reference-rent increase under § 558 BGB, the capping limit (15% or 20% within three years), the annual bar — the demand may be made at the earliest twelve months after the last increase — and the waiting period of fifteen months of unchanged rent are checked, together with the local rent index; the prepared increase letter is created automatically on request.

Dunning stages are freely configurable (e.g. payment reminder, 1st reminder, 2nd reminder, notice of termination). Dunning fees and default interest are calculated automatically. Dispatch by email, letter (Einwurf-Einschreiben, registered post into the letterbox) or via the tenant portal. An escalation deadline prevents premature reminders.

Yes. Every owner gets their own access and sees their properties and rental units, the current leases, the total balance, upcoming terminations and open tickets. We do not send an automatic monthly report by email: the figures live in the portal and are current to the day — a dispatched report would be out of date the next morning.

The tenant portal is a password-protected area where tenants can view their contract documents, statements, rent charges and supporting documents. They can create repair reports via tickets, upload documents (e.g. heating-oil proof), report address changes and chat with the property manager — all in line with GDPR.

Yes. Rent charges, rent payments, deposit receipts and settlement balances are posted automatically to SKR accounts. A CSV export for the tax advisor is available at any time.

Deposits are held under § 551 Abs. 3 BGB separately from the landlord's assets in a dedicated deposit account and invested to earn interest; the interest accrues to the tenant and increases the security. At the end of the lease Savanika compiles the outstanding claims and prepares the set-off — it is the landlord who declares it. Payment is made after the flat has been returned.
