One record per property
Address, type, purchase date and notes, with its own country, currency and timezone. Everything else — tasks, documents, maintenance, spending — hangs off the property rather than a folder somewhere.
Property management software for small landlords
Most property software is built for letting agents running hundreds of units, and it shows in the setup, the price and the number of screens you will never open. Hovora is built for small, self-managing landlords instead: you own between 1 and 20 properties, you look after them yourself, and what you actually need is to stop forgetting things.
Built for 1 to 20 properties
That range is not a marketing bracket — it is the actual shape of the product. Free covers a single property, Personal covers 5, and Pro covers 20. Above that, you are running something closer to a business than a set of properties, and you will be better served by software built for it.
The people Hovora is for tend to look similar: a flat let to a tenant, a house inherited or kept after moving, a holiday place used a few weeks a year, a couple of units bought over time. Nobody in that list needs a leasing pipeline. All of them have a boiler service, an insurance renewal and a certificate that expires.
The work self-managing actually involves
Not leasing, not accounting. The unglamorous, date-driven admin that sits between you and an expensive surprise.
Tasks with real due dates
One-off jobs with a due date and a priority. Overdue is worked out from the property’s own timezone, so a place in another country is never a day out.
Recurring maintenance, set once
Annual services, seasonal jobs and quarterly checks repeat on their own. Completing one occurrence opens the next and keeps the history behind it.
Reminders before the date
On the due date, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, by email, browser push, or both — scheduled for the morning where the property actually is.
Documents that expire out loud
Leases, policies, certificates and receipts filed against the property they concern, with an optional expiry date that becomes a reminder. Files are private, reached only through short-lived links issued to you.
Expenses in the right currency
A simple record with the receipt attached. Amounts stay in each property’s own currency, and totals are never added across currencies to produce a number that is not money anywhere.
What Hovora deliberately does not do
Worth knowing before you sign up rather than after. Every item below is a real product that real people need — and building any of them would make Hovora worse at the one thing it is for. If you need them, a full letting platform is the right answer and this is not it.
No tenant portal
Hovora is for the owner, not the occupant. Nobody else gets an account, and there is nothing for a tenant to log into.
No rent collection or payments
Money does not move through Hovora. Your bank, or whatever you already use, keeps doing that job.
No accounting ledger
Expenses are a record of what a property cost, not a chart of accounts. Export it to whoever does your books.
No tenant screening
No credit checks, no references, no background reports. Hovora never sees a tenant applicant at all.
No listing syndication
Hovora will not advertise a vacancy or push a listing to portals. It starts once the place is yours to look after.
What it costs
A single property is free, permanently — not a trial, and no card is asked for. Personal is $5 a month for 5 properties, and Pro is $20 a month for 20. Hovora is in beta, so paid plans are arranged by hand rather than through a checkout — nothing is charged automatically and no card is stored.
