What August is
August is property management software for landlords, with tools for rent collection, tenant access, leases, accounting, and maintenance. It runs on the web, iPhone, and Android. Bank connections use Open Banking, and incoming rent payments are matched to the relevant tenancy. Tenants can report maintenance issues through the app, while landlords can track, assign, and resolve them. Document scanning extracts key dates and suggests compliance reminders. August integrates with Xero for financial reports and Making Tax Digital workflows; the service is identified as HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and FCA Authorised. Tenants can use the service for free. The landlord free plan supports up to 2 tenancies and 1 bank account. Annual billing saves 20%; plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee, and users can cancel at any time. August was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in London.
