Giving small landlords their time back

A Callio company

The spreadsheet landlord

A landlord with a handful of single-family rentals and a day job. Rent lives in Excel, leases in an email thread, receipts in a shoebox, and tenant messages in a personal phone. Enterprise tools are built for hundreds of units and spreadsheets cannot send a reminder or read a lease, so they end up doing a property manager's job by hand, every month.

Goals
  • Know who has paid without asking
  • Stop being the one who chases late rent
  • Hand the accountant clean numbers in April
Main pain points
Chasing late rent, every month
Eight tenants means someone is always behind and Dana is the one who has to ask.
Keeping the paperwork straight
Leases, financials and rent records live in different places and take hours to keep current.
Collecting and tracking rent by hand
Payments arrive by Zelle and check and each one is typed into the sheet.
Problem statementSmall landlords need a system that collects the rent, handles the tenant communication and keeps the books for them at a price that makes sense for a few properties.
02 · How it works

One record, and the system runs from it

The lease is the source of truth. Lotts reads it with AI, builds the rent schedule, collects by ACH, chases what is late in the landlord's own voice, and posts every dollar to the books. Each exchange removes one of the problems above.

Repairs without the phone tag

Tenants report a problem from the portal. Lotts files it on the property, hands it to a vendor and keeps the cost in the books. The landlord sees every open request in one list.

lotts.ai

The landing page opens on the first property free and the app itself, then puts the busywork into hours, then shows the three features as real screens. Scroll the frame.

Simple, clarity-focused design library

A small system of black and white with one orange action. Few rules means an AI-native codebase can build new screens fast and they still look like Lotts.
