A separate phone number for tenants

Rent calls here. Family calls there.

One number for tenants and prospects, separate from the line your family calls. Put it on the lease and the listing, and let it go to voicemail after hours.

Why landlords use a side line

Being reachable shouldn't mean always on.

Tenants need a way to reach you. They don't need your personal number, your family's group chat, or you picking up at dinner for something that can wait until morning.

One number for the lease

Put the side number on leases, rental listings and the notice by the mailboxes. Tenants and prospects know where to reach you, and your personal line stays personal.

Voicemail that waits for you

Let calls go to the side line's voicemail at night. Recordings land in the app, sorted by number, ready to play back in the morning.

Done with ex-tenants

When someone moves out, you stop thinking about them. Your personal number was never on the lease to begin with.

A number per property

Managing several units or buildings? Give each one its own line. The 10-number plan works out to $6 per number a month.

How it works

Lease it out, keep your evenings.

A landlord phone number app that sets up a rental line in about a minute, then runs every tenant and prospect conversation from the phone you already carry.

Step 01

Pick a local number

Choose an area code that matches the property, so prospects see a local number.

Step 02

Put it on the lease and listing

Tenants call and text the side line for repairs, rent and move-in questions, from any phone.

Step 03

Mute it after hours

Mute the line after hours so rental calls wait until morning.

Reviews

From a landlord with four units.

"Four units, four sets of tenants, one number on the lease. Late-night calls wait until morning, and my personal phone stays quiet. That used to be impossible."

FAQ

Renting with a side number, answered.

Can tenants text me photos of a problem?

Yes. Messaging is unlimited and includes photos, so a tenant can send a picture of the leaky faucet straight to the side line.

Why should a landlord have a separate phone number for tenants?

It keeps rental calls apart from your personal life. Tenants and prospects always have a way to reach you, you decide when that line rings, and none of it touches the number your family and friends use.

Can I have a different number for each property?

Yes. The 3-number plan is $24.99/mo and the 10-number plan is $59.99/mo, about $6 per number. Each number keeps its own messages and voicemail.

Do I need a business account to get a number?

No. There's no verification step. Open the app, pick a number, and you're ready to put it on the lease.

Can I answer from my tablet at the office?

Yes. SideNumber works on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, with the same number across your devices.

Do my tenants need to install anything?

No. It's a real ten-digit US or Canadian number, so tenants call and text it from any phone.
