California rent caps, deposit limits, and required disclosures change by city — and the penalties are real. LeaseBase tracks every deadline and handles payments, maintenance, and leases in one place. Self-manage with confidence.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Rachid, founder of LeaseBase. I built this because of a $3,000 lawsuit.
Last year, a tenant sued me. The claim was wrong, but I spent an entire weekend digging through AppFolio exports, old Gmail threads, and my own memory trying to reconstruct what had actually happened. Work orders, entry notices, deposit records, compliance deadlines—everything was scattered across five different systems that didn't talk to each other.
I won the case, but it exposed a bigger problem. I'm a software engineer with 12 years of experience. If I struggled to stay on top of California's rental laws, how is someone with two or three rental properties supposed to?
What surprised me most was realizing that nobody really owns compliance for independent landlords. Most software helps collect rent or store documents, but when it comes to knowing which laws apply to your property, the responsibility still falls entirely on the owner.
That's why I built LeaseBase.
LeaseBase tracks rent caps, notice periods, deposit rules, required disclosures, and other compliance requirements based on where your property is located. It also manages the day-to-day work—leases, payments, maintenance, and tenant communication. The goal isn't just to record what happened, but to help you understand what needs attention next and why.
Everything you see today—the compliance engine, AI assistant, mobile apps, and platform—was built over the past few months by a single founder. I'm not trying to replace landlords or property managers. I'm trying to give independent landlords the kind of operational support that large management companies already have.
LeaseBase is free to get started, with no credit card required.
I'll be here throughout the day—I'd genuinely love your questions, feedback, and criticism.

Hey @rachid_abadli building compliance engine + ai assistant + mobile apps as a solo founder and in a few months is pretty wild. are you using any specific open source tools to speed up the dev process?
Macaly
compliance deadlines is a real pain 🏠 are you outside CA yet?
@petrkovacik Compliance is indeed one of the costliest pains for landlords. We are in all 49 states.
@rachid_abadli I love how your misfortune drove you to build a tool to prevent it happening again and share with others who are potentially in the same boat. Hope today's launch goes well.
@codeandsea Thanks Brent
