Rent 1.1.0: a Faster App, Signature Tracking You Can Trust & Insurance Reminders

Most of the work in 1.1.0 is the kind you never see in a screenshot: the app moved to the latest mobile architecture (the "New Architecture" of its framework, with a new animation engine). What that means in daily use:

• Faster screens. Lists of properties, documents and payments render noticeably quicker.
• Smoother animations. Transitions and gestures run on the new animation engine instead of the old bridge.
• Future-proofing. The new base is what iOS and Android tooling is built around going forward — the app stays compatible with new OS releases instead of aging against them.

On Android the migration came with a full edge-to-edge display pass: the app now draws correctly around modern navigation bars and cutouts, with no content buried under the system bars. It's the release that makes the next two years of features possible — and the one you'll notice as "the app feels quicker" without being able to say why.

If you've sent documents for electronic signature from the app, you've met the old queue: everything stayed listed forever, every item looked the same, and a tap didn't always take you anywhere useful. 1.1.0 rebuilds the lifecycle:

• Honest status chips. Each document in the signature queue shows where it actually is — sent, partially signed, completed, expired.
• State-aware taps. Tapping a queued item routes you to what's relevant for its state: the signing status for a pending document, the final PDF for a completed one.
• Completed items leave. Once a document is fully signed, it exits the queue on its own — the queue shows work in progress, not history.
• Your link only. For privacy, the app now shows only your own signing link, never the tenant's or guarantor's — each party gets their link by email, as it should be.

Small changes on paper; in practice, the difference between a queue you check and a queue you ignore.

French tenants must hold home insurance (assurance habitation) and provide the attestation to the landlord — not once, but every year, because policies renew annually. Almost every landlord collects it at move-in; almost nobody re-collects it at year two.

1.1.0 adds an insurance-attestation card to each property's compliance view: at the lease anniversary, the card surfaces and asks whether you've received the year's attestation, and the app's reminder emails cover it alongside the existing charges-regularization reminders. A push notification about it now lands you directly on the property page concerned.

It's the pattern the app already applies to boiler servicing, chimney sweeping and DPE deadlines — the compliance clock keeps turning, and the app remembers so you don't have to. The same card appears in the web back-office, which received the matching update.

Android got its home-screen rent widget in 1.0.10; the iPhone caught up in the 1.0.11 interim release, and 1.1.0 carries it forward on the new engine: a RentStatus widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen showing this month's rents at a glance — collected, pending, late.

For a landlord, that's the one number that matters between the 1st and the 10th of the month, now visible without opening the app. Add it like any iOS widget: long-press the Home Screen (or customise the Lock Screen), search for Rent, place the widget.

One change in 1.1.0 removes a feature, and it's worth explaining because it's the app doing its job. The acte de cautionnement (the guarantor's commitment) is no longer offered for electronic signature.

Why: article 2297 of the Code civil requires the guarantor to write a specific mention affirming the scope of their commitment. For this document, the safe, contestation-proof route remains the guarantor's handwritten mention on the paper document — so the app now generates the acte for printing and steers you to paper signature instead of an e-signature that a court could later set aside.

In the same accuracy pass, generated lease PDFs now carry the four mandatory legal mentions and reference the état des lieux correctly. An app whose entire promise is "documents that hold up" has to say no when the law says no — this release does.

The rest of the release is polish where users reported friction:

• English annexe status you can see. If you tick the English reference annexe on a document, the app now shows a clear pending row while it's being prepared and a loud "ready" card when it's downloadable — no more wondering whether it worked.
• Tenant portal fixes. The tenant's email-verification link now lands on a proper confirmation screen, Android purchase confirmations display correctly, and an iOS bug that could leave a blank sheet after a tenant-portal purchase is fixed.
• Dossier clé en main rebalanced. The all-in-one dossier now bills 3 credits instead of 4, since the quittance inside it became free for everyone.
• A What's-New page in the app (drawer → version row), so silent improvements stop being silent.

1.1.0 changes the engine and the features, not the model. It remains one-time packs, never a subscription:

You can run a first property — bail, état des lieux, deposit paperwork — on the free 10 documents, issue every monthly quittance free on top, and pay only for automation, volume or extra properties. For the wider landscape, see our guide to the best rental apps for French landlords.

Version 1.1.0 is live on both stores since late August 2026.

1. Already using the app? Update from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone).
2. New to it? Install the app and take the illustrated welcome tour — you'll see a real sample quittance before creating an account.
3. Prefer a laptop? The web back-office needs no update — same account, same free receipt tier, and the new insurance card is live there too.
4. Check your signature queue. If you have documents out for signature, the new status chips will tell you exactly where each one stands.
