How to connect AI to Rent Manager

Ask a question about your portfolio in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok — and get the answer from your live Rent Manager database. Occupancy, NOI, delinquency, leasing, work orders: whatever Rent Manager already tracks. Setup takes about ten minutes. No exports.

The short version

Rent Manager holds the numbers. Your AI does not have a login. The usual workaround is exporting P&Ls and rent rolls, then pasting them into chat — one property at a time, already stale by the time you hit send.

AskRentAI is the connector that closes that gap. It holds your Rent Manager credentials, turns a plain-English question into the right reads, and hands the results back to the AI you already use. You stay in the chat; the numbers come from your actual database.

  1. Create a Rent Manager API user (or use existing credentials).
  2. Sign up for AskRentAI and connect those credentials.
  3. Add AskRentAI in Claude, ChatGPT, or another supported client — then ask.

Why this page exists

People searching for “Rent Manager AI” or “connect AI to Rent Manager” usually want one of three things:

  1. Talk to the portfolio in chat — without building a dashboard.
  2. Keep using the AI they already pay for — not switch models.
  3. Avoid hiring a developer just to wire the API.

AskRentAI is built for that job. It is not a Rent Manager replacement. It is not a BI tool. It sits beside Rent Manager and answers questions from live data.

Client-specific setup (screenshots, desktop vs web):

Reporting angle: Rent Manager reporting with AI.
API without a developer: Rent Manager API without a developer.

What you need first

Step 1 · Rent Manager API user

Your own login works. A dedicated API user is the better habit: clean audit trail, easy to scope read-only, easy to revoke.

Create the user in Rent Manager, give it read access to the properties you care about, and note the username, password, and database URL.

Read-only is enough. AskRentAI never writes to Rent Manager. It cannot post a charge, edit a lease, or change a tenant record — it only reads.

Step 2 · Connect AskRentAI

On the signup page, enter your Rent Manager URL, API username, and password. The connection is tested immediately — bad credentials fail before you leave the page.

Seven-day trial, no card. $10 per user per month after that. Cancel anytime — no contract.

Step 3 · Add it in your AI

In your AI client, add AskRentAI as a connector / custom integration and paste the endpoint you get at signup. Claude and ChatGPT paths are spelled out on their guide pages and on /connect.

When it is connected, the AI reaches for AskRentAI whenever a question needs your property data.

What to ask first

Ask something you already know. Then ask something you do not.

“What’s my occupancy across the whole portfolio right now?”

A live count, property by property, as of this moment.

“Who’s more than 30 days delinquent, and how much is it in total?”

Aged receivables ranked worst-first, without opening a report.

“Run a year-over-year P&L review and tell me where I’m losing money.”

The variance and the explanation — not just two columns of numbers.

“Which properties have the worst expense ratio, and what’s driving it?”

The question that used to mean pulling every P&L one at a time.

More starters: first questions.

Common questions

Does this change anything in Rent Manager?

No. AskRentAI is read-only by design and has no ability to write, edit, or delete anything in Rent Manager.

Do I have to switch AI products?

No. Bring the AI you already use. One AskRentAI account can serve Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok at the same time.

Is this an official Rent Manager product?

AskRentAI is an independent connector that uses Rent Manager’s API with your credentials. It is not a Rent Manager / LCS product and is not presented as RM-approved partnership marketing.

Is my data used to train AI models?

AskRentAI does not train on your data. Once a question reaches your AI provider, that provider’s policy governs the conversation. See the privacy page for what AskRentAI itself stores.
