RentalReady is a property management software developed by the GuestReady Group, a short-term rental company.[3] It was founded in 2016 by Alexander Limpert,[4][5] and is used to assist vacation rental operators[6]

RentalReady operates under a business-to-business model, meaning that its services are provided to other businesses rather than to consumers.[4]

Very recently, RentalReady has released apps for iOS and Android devices,[7][8] in an attempt to provide easier access to the software.

History

[edit]

In 2016, Alexander Limpert founded GuestReady, motivated by the need to address operational challenges in short-term rental management that were not covered by conventional Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).[9] Shortly thereafter, GuestReady developed RentalReady[4] as a way to overcome challenges associated with rapid growth,[9] with licensing starting as early as 2019. GuestReady founder Alexander Limpert described the software as a "system built by operators, for operators."

By 2023, RentalReady had processed ~185,000 bookings and was managing ~6,000 properties, mostly across Europe and the Middle East.[10][11] During this period, RentalReady began experimenting with Artificial Intelligence, culminating with the release of fully autonomous AI Agent MAIA in 2024.[12][13][14][3][excessive citations].

In 2025, London-based property management company City Relay announced that they had chosen RentalReady as their software provider in order to support City Relay's expansion.[6][10]

Controversies

[edit]

During a pitch to investors in 2023, CEO Alexander Limpert admitted that the company had not yet turned a profit despite raising £1.75 million that year.[15]
