Everything you need to self-manage
The tools a management company charges 8-10% for — running for a little over a dollar a door.
- Know who owes what
- A running ledger per resident, automatic late fees capped to your state, and monthly statements — so you always know who is behind and by how much, without a spreadsheet.
- Stay compliant with your state
- Deposit deadlines, pay-or-quit notices, and late-fee caps resolve automatically from each property’s state — all 50 states and DC, every value cited to its statute or left blank; AI-drafted and not yet reviewed by an attorney in any state.
- A real resident portal
- Your tenants get their own login to see their balance and ledger, file maintenance requests with a live status timeline, and read their lease — the same portal a big management company would give them.
- Maintenance without the mess
- Every request is logged, prioritized by AI triage, and tracked to done — with a full history on the unit so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Fill your own vacancies
- Post a listing, take rental inquiries answered in about a minute (fair-housing screened), and track applications with AI fraud analysis.
- Know the rules before you need them
- Browse your state’s landlord-tenant rules any time — deposit windows, notice periods, and late-fee limits — so the paperwork is right the first time.
Know your state's rules
The costly mistakes in self-management are the legal ones — a mishandled deposit or a bad notice. Forge wires notices and deposit handling to the statutes your rental is accountable to, resolved automatically from the property's state.
- Security-deposit return deadlines, per state
- Pay-or-quit and notice periods that match your state
- Late-fee caps applied automatically
- All 50 states + DC — every value cited to statute or left blank (AI-drafted, not yet reviewed by an attorney in any state)

Questions, answered
- Is Forge overkill if I only have a few units?
- No. Forge works from a single door up. You pay $1.10 per door per month, so a handful of units costs a few dollars — and you get the same rent ledger, compliance, and resident portal a large company would use.
- How much does it cost for a landlord?
- $1.10 per door per month after a 30-day free trial. No setup fees, no minimum unit count, cancel anytime. You are only billed for the doors you actually manage.
- Does Forge know the rules in my state?
- Yes. Forge's compliance engine covers all 50 states and DC. Deposit deadlines, pay-or-quit notices, and late-fee caps resolve automatically from each property's state, with every value cited to its primary statute or left blank where we could not source one. Every profile is AI-drafted and cited to statute; not yet reviewed by an attorney in any state, Colorado included, and each state page carries its own confidence badge. Browse your state at forgepm.ai/states. Forge is software, not a law firm — you remain responsible for your own compliance.
- Do my tenants have to use it?
- They get a resident portal to see their balance and file maintenance requests, and you record the payments you collect however you collect them. Nothing forces a tenant online — it just means everyone is looking at the same ledger.
- Can I switch to managing for other owners later?
- Yes. Forge is one product with two modes. If you start managing rentals for other owners, you can turn on the full property-management toolkit — owner portals, owner statements, and management-fee tracking — without moving your data.
Your rentals, professionally run.
