What MicroRealEstate is
MicroRealEstate is a self-hosted property management app for landlords handling leases, rents, receipts, units, and tenant records. It runs on Linux and through the web, with a one-command installation and update script for Linux machines. Recorded payments update rent balances, helping landlords identify overdue amounts. Lease documents can be created from the landlord’s own templates. Rent notices and receipts can be generated and emailed to tenants in one pass. Units, tenants, and leases remain together in one place, and a landlord can invite a second person with a separate account to share access. Tenants can use a portal to review their payments and receipts. The maker says self-hosted data remains on the landlord’s server and is not seen by third parties. The project uses the Sustainable Use License v2.0 and is donation-funded. A free private-landlord license costs nothing for up to five rental units without commercial activity. Larger portfolios, hosted service, or commercial use require a separate commercial license.
