2.Tenancy agreements

Signed agreements for every current tenancy, plus any variations or renewals.

3.Inspection reports

Entry, routine and exit reports with photos - your condition evidence if a dispute lands.

4.Compliance documents

❓ Good questions

Migration questions.

How do I export my data from myRent?

From myRent you can download your rent statement as a PDF or CSV, plus your tenancy documents and inspection reports. Grab the rent statement CSV (Keel's importer reads it directly), your signed agreements, and your compliance records before you switch.

How long does switching to Keel take?

About 15 minutes for one property. Upload your myRent CSV and Keel maps the columns and imports your properties and tenancies; then upload the documents you exported. The 30-day free trial means you can run Keel alongside myRent - no credit card, no lock-in.

What happens to my bond?

Your bond stays lodged with Tenancy Services regardless of software - it's held by MBIE, not by myRent or Keel. Record the bond details against the tenancy in Keel, and for new tenancies Keel can lodge bonds directly with Tenancy Services from the app.

What does Keel do that myRent doesn't?

Both let you self-manage rent and advertising. Keel adds Skip, an AI assistant that triages maintenance and lines up your tradie, drafts tenant replies for your approval, and answers RTA and compliance questions - plus a full Healthy Homes compliance tracker and a tenant portal. It's the all-in-one with the admin done for you, from $15/month + GST.

Can I run myRent and Keel side by side?

Yes - that's what the 30-day free trial is for. Set up your property in Keel, watch a full rent cycle land, and switch over once you're confident. Nothing in your myRent account changes while you trial.

Keep self-managing

Your rental, still yours to run.

30-day free trial. No credit card. Switch in about 15 minutes.
