Tendhus
You take care of the home. Tendhus keeps the record. Your tenant reports the leak and your plumber picks a time from the link you send. The cost files itself against the house, and next spring when it goes again you will know who came and what they charged.

When something breaks
Share their message in and it becomes a dated record, photos and all. One tap sends your plumber a job link with the address, the problem, the photos, and the times your tenant is free. He opens it in his browser and taps a slot. Your tenant hears the time the same minute, and when the job is done the cost files itself against the house.

Dana knows it’s fixed. Your accountant will see it in April. You typed eleven words.
Looking something up
A doc holds what you typed into it. The photo your tenant sent sits in Messages, the invoice in your email, the receipt in your camera roll. Here they all land on the same house, dated the day they happened. Snap the receipt in the driveway or forward the text from the hallway: a photo and an amount is the whole capture. A year later you open that house and read the whole thing.

Upkeep
The furnace filter is your tenant’s job, four times a year, and the asking is the actual work. Hand that one over and it arrives on their phone the morning it is due, carrying the size you bought last time. They tap Done, and it lands on the house’s record with their name on it. The next one sets itself for three months out.
Furnace filter
due today · 20x25x1
On your tenant’s phone, the morning it is due. You see who did it and when. Left undone, it stays on your own list too, marked as theirs.
Who hears what
When your plumber takes Wednesday, your tenant hears the time and you hear that your tenant has been told. Post an update and it reaches whoever did not write it. Tap your own button and nobody tells you what you just did. Everything goes out as a push and an email, so it reaches you on whichever one you read. Only one message is on a schedule: the 8am list, on the mornings something is waiting.

Your tenant has been told. Nothing for you to do.
Six quiet days that week.
Whether or not anyone’s renting it
The place you live in has a past worth keeping. What you replaced, what it cost, what’s still covered. It pays you back the next time the same thing breaks and you already know the part number, and again on the day you sell and have to prove what went into the place.
Rent one out and Tendhus works exactly the same way. There’s just a person in the story now.
The home you live in
Repairs, upgrades, warranties, and the seasonal jobs you’d rather not keep on paper. One timeline for the whole house.
The home you rent out
The same timeline, plus your tenant: the things they report, the house info you share with them, and a clean split between what you spent and what’s deductible.
The rules it lives by
Five rules shape every screen. They are why this feels different.
Your vendor gets a job link that opens in their browser and works on the first tap. Add a tenant and they tap a link and they are in too.
Texting keeps working. The app bends to how people already communicate, not the other way around.
A photo and an amount is the whole capture. A receipt you have to file later is a receipt that gets lost.
One message a day is on a schedule, and only on days something needs you. News that cannot wait arrives when it happens, on both a push and an email.
It does a few jobs completely instead of everything halfway: repairs, expenses, upkeep, taxes.
It grows the way you do
Everything you’ve already built stays right where it is, so closing on the next one is just an address to add.
Tax season
Every receipt you snapped during the year is already sorted. Pick a year and download the lot, one home at a time or all of them combined: a category summary your accountant can read, a CSV, and a zip of every receipt named by date, home, category, and amount. Capital items sit apart from repairs, with cost basis when the purchase info is there.

Your homes are yours alone. A vendor sees one job, a tenant sees one home, and each link opens onto that and no further. What you share from the shelf is one document at a time, and you pick it.
For the half you do alone, a doc works fine. It holds what you typed into it. The photo your tenant sent is in Messages, the invoice is in your email, the receipt is in your camera roll. Tendhus is where those three arrive together, on the right house, on the day they happened.
Yes, that is the base case. Your home builds a history whether or not anyone pays rent for it: what you replaced and what it cost, what is still under warranty, the seasonal jobs that come back every year. It pays you back the next time something breaks, and again on the day you sell and have to prove what went into the place.
No password. You add their phone number or email, they tap the invite link, and they are in. Reporting an issue is a photo and a sentence, they can see when help is on the way, and anything you've shared with them (the wifi, the shut-offs, trash day, their lease) is right there.
By text, as one job link that opens in their browser and works on the first tap. It shows the issue, the photos, and the time windows your tenant offered. They tap one, and everyone is scheduled.
It is a web app you add to your home screen, on any phone. Setup takes half a minute, once. It sends push notifications and never goes through an app store.
One scheduled push a day, and only on days something actually needs you. News that cannot wait, like a new issue from a tenant, arrives as it happens, and nothing pushes between 9pm and 7am. Everything also goes out by email, so it reaches you on whichever one you read. You can turn the email half off in settings.
No. It stays focused on repairs, expenses, upkeep, and taxes. Rent keeps moving the way it already does for you.
Add the address, forward your next receipt, and let it build from there. Ten minutes now saves you a weekend in April.
