A Team That Understands Property Management from Both Sides
Property management software built by payment experts to address the core challenges property managers face every day.

Cloud Rental Manager brings everything into one simple, cloud-based platform so your team, residents, and owners stay in sync, from first application to final move-out.

A Platform Created After Seeing the Gaps Firsthand
We were tired of clunky, expensive property software too.
Cloud Rental Manager grew out of a simple frustration – property managers and landlords were paying a premium for software that still made everyday tasks harder than they needed to be.
Our CEO, Lou Honick
, spent years building payment technology and also investing in real estate. That meant he saw both sides of the problem: fragmented property tools on one side and rigid payment systems on the other.
Existing platforms came with long contracts, layered fees, and awkward workflows. So the team at Host Merchant Services set out to build something different:
- A modern property management platform that’s actually intuitive
- Integrated payments that automatically handle all tasks behind the scenes efficiently
- Pricing that removes monthly software overhead instead of adding to it
Cloud Rental Manager is a practical, payments-focused operating system for rental portfolios of all sizes.
Everything You Need to Run Rentals Efficiently, Built Right In

Standardize Leasing and Documentation
Build and reuse lease templates, capture e-signatures, and store all leases, addenda, IDs, and insurance documents in one digital vault. Receive notifications for renewals, expirations, and compliance deadlines before they become emergencies.
Bring Order to Maintenance & Inspections
Tenants and staff can submit maintenance tickets with photos and details. Track status from “reported” to “completed,” and use structured property check evaluations for move-ins, move-outs, and periodic inspections, creating a defensible history for every property.
