Switching from myRent:
same control, more done for you
myRent does rent and advertising well. If you want the same self-managing control but with an AI assistant handling the admin - maintenance triage, compliance tracking, drafted tenant replies - here's exactly what to export, where it lives in Keel, and how to switch in about 15 minutes. From $15/month + GST.
- No credit card required
- Run both side by side

Get your records out of myRent: export these.
myRent lets you download your rent statements (PDF or CSV) and your documents - grab everything you'll want to keep before you switch.
1.Rent statement / ledger (CSV)
Download your rent statement as a CSV - your full payment history for arrears evidence and tax time. Keep it filed with your records: past rent history doesn't import into Keel (your Keel ledger starts fresh from switch day).
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
Healthy Homes statements, insulation records, smoke-alarm checks - you're legally required to hold these.
5.Tenant and bond details
Tenant contacts, bond lodgement numbers and amounts (the bond itself stays safe with Tenancy Services).
Everything you used in myRent has a home in Keel.

2.Note your live dates
Next rent review, fixed-term expiry, Healthy Homes renewals, smoke-alarm check, insurance renewal.
3.Set up your properties in Keel
Add each property and tenancy (a short form), or give Keel's CSV importer a spreadsheet with one row per property - it auto-matches columns like address, rent, tenant and lease dates, and you confirm the mapping before anything imports. Rent history and documents don't import - keep your myRent exports filed.

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, your signed agreements, and your compliance records before you switch - past rent history doesn't import into Keel, so those exports are your archive for arrears evidence and tax time.
How long does switching to Keel take?
About 15 minutes for one property: add the property, tenancy and rent details (a short form), then upload the documents you exported. Got several properties? Keel's CSV importer creates properties and tenancies from a spreadsheet - you confirm the column mapping before it imports. Rent history doesn't come across; your Keel ledger starts fresh. 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.
