Never Miss a Maintenance Deadline Again

Small landlords with 2–9 units: avoid city fines, tenant lawsuits, and costly emergency repairs. State-specific reminders that protect you legally.

Real case: A landlord in Ohio was sued for $12,000 because he had no proof of HVAC maintenance records. A simple reminder would have saved him.

Be among the first 30 landlords to test the beta — one property free, full features.

One Missed Deadline Can Cost You Thousands

You manage 2–9 rental units. You track maintenance in a spreadsheet… or your head. But spreadsheets don't send reminders. And city inspectors don't accept "I forgot" as an excuse.

Smoke Detector Checks

Annual inspection required in most states. Miss it and face $500–$2,000 fines per unit — plus liability if a tenant is harmed.

$500–$2,000 fine

HVAC Service

No service records? A tenant can claim mold or air-quality damage from your negligence. Judges side with tenants when landlords have zero documentation.

$3,000–$50,000 liability

Pest Control

Required every 3–6 months in many cities. One tenant complaint triggers a city inspection — and they'll ask for your maintenance logs.

Inspection + fines

Gutter & Seasonal Checks

Clogged gutters cause water damage. Frozen pipes burst. Without a seasonal checklist, you're gambling with your property and your insurance deductible.

$2,000+ repair bill

Common Questions

How is this different from a spreadsheet? +

Spreadsheets don't send reminders. One missed HVAC check can trigger a $500 fine or a lawsuit. We also back up your maintenance records online so they don't disappear if your laptop crashes or you accidentally delete a row. Plus, our schedules are pre-loaded based on your state's actual maintenance laws — no guesswork.

How is this different from FixReminder or Landlord Studio? +

FixReminder ($9/mo) sends maintenance reminders but uses generic schedules. SimpleNest pre-loads state-specific maintenance requirements based on your property's location and local laws. We also focus on court-ready record keeping and one-click expense logging for tax season — features designed specifically to protect you from legal liability, not just convenience.

Is it really free during beta? +

Yes. One property, full features, no credit card required. We're building this with early landlords and need your honest feedback to make it better.

What happens after beta? +

$99/year (less than $9/month) or $15/month. Early beta users lock in a 20% lifetime discount as a thank-you for helping us build this.

Do I need to install an app? +

No. SimpleNest works in your browser on any device. Reminders come by email. No App Store, no passwords to forget, no updates to install.
