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

Published 8 June 2026·Updated 23 August 2026

Version 1.1.0 of Rent — Lease & Short-Term (Rent — Bail & Courte Durée in French) is the biggest under-the-hood release the app has had: it moves to a new rendering engine that makes everything feel faster and smoother. Around that foundation, the August 2026 wave adds the features self-managing landlords asked for after 1.0.10: an e-signature queue you can actually trust (honest status chips, signed documents that leave the queue on their own), a tenant home-insurance reminder card that appears at each lease anniversary, an iPhone widget with the month's rents on your Home and Lock Screen, and a round of legal-accuracy fixes — including one that matters: the acte de cautionnement is no longer offered for e-signature, because French law (article 2297) requires the guarantor's handwritten mention on paper. Everything from 1.0.10 stays: free rent receipts on every account (up to 20 a month), property photos, the monthly wrap-up. On pricing: the first property stays free, and since 04/10/2026 AdminLanding is one membership — €6 a month or €59 a year, renewed automatically, cancel any time.

Key facts

  • A new engine. 1.1.0 migrates the app to the latest mobile architecture — screens open faster, animations are smoother, and the app is ready for the next years of iOS and Android.
  • E-signature tracking you can trust: the dashboard queue now shows honest status chips for each document, tapping routes you to the right place for its state, and completed signatures leave the queue by themselves.
  • New: insurance reminder card — at each lease anniversary, a card asks for the tenant's home-insurance attestation (attestation d'assurance habitation), the proof landlords forget to re-collect every year.
  • iPhone widget (since 1.0.11): this month's rent status on the Home Screen and Lock Screen — Android has had its widget since 1.0.10.
  • Legal accuracy: the acte de cautionnement is no longer e-signable in the app — article 2297 of the Code civil requires the guarantor's handwritten mention, so the app now steers it to paper. Lease PDFs also carry the four mandatory legal mentions.
  • Free rent receipts stay: up to 20 quittances de loyer a month on every account, app and web. First property free (10 documents + Vault, no card). Since 04/10/2026, AdminLanding membership: €6 a month or €59 a year, renewed automatically, cancel any time.

What 1.0.10 looks like

Free rent receipts (up to 20 a month, green banner included) and the new illustrated welcome — on iPhone and Android.

The invisible upgrade you'll feel everywhere: a new engine

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.

An e-signature queue that tells the truth

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.

The insurance attestation card: the annual proof everyone forgets

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.

The month's rents on your Lock Screen (iPhone)

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.

Legal accuracy: the acte de cautionnement leaves e-signature — on purpose

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.

Quality of life: annexe status, tenant portal, small fixes

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.

What it costs — one membership since 04/10/2026

1.1.0 changed the engine and the features. Since 04/10/2026, AdminLanding is one membership at €6 a month or €59 a year, renewed automatically, cancel any time from your account:

How to get 1.1.0

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's actually new in Rent 1.1.0?

Under the hood, the app moved to the latest mobile architecture — faster screens, smoother animations, Android edge-to-edge display. On top of it: a rebuilt e-signature queue with honest status chips, an insurance-attestation reminder card at each lease anniversary, the iPhone rents widget (introduced in 1.0.11), legal-accuracy fixes to the lease and the acte de cautionnement, clearer English-annexe status, and tenant-portal fixes.

Why can't I e-sign the acte de cautionnement anymore?

Because article 2297 of the Code civil requires the guarantor to write a specific handwritten mention for the commitment to be safe from contestation. The app now generates the acte for printing and paper signature instead of offering an e-signature that a court could set aside. It's a deliberate legal-accuracy change, not a missing feature — other rental documents remain e-signable.

Are rent receipts still free?

Yes — nothing changed there. Every account, free or paid, can generate up to 20 quittances de loyer a month at no cost, in the app and in the web back-office alike. The membership adds automation: as a member, the monthly receipt is generated and sent to your tenant automatically.

What is the insurance-attestation card?

French tenants must provide proof of home insurance every year, not just at move-in. At each lease anniversary the app now shows a card on the property's compliance view asking for the year's attestation, includes it in reminder emails, and routes the related push notification straight to the property page. The web back-office shows the same card.

How do I get the iPhone widget?

Long-press your Home Screen (or customise your Lock Screen), tap the + to add a widget, search for Rent, and place the RentStatus widget. It shows this month's rents — collected, pending, late — without opening the app. Android's home-screen widget has been available since 1.0.10.

Did the pricing change with 1.1.0?

Not with 1.1.0 itself, but since 04/10/2026 AdminLanding is one membership: €6 a month or €59 a year, renewed automatically, cancel any time from your account. Rent receipts (up to 20 a month) and the first property (10 document generations + Vault, no card) stay free. The membership adds more properties (up to 10), automatic monthly receipts, payments tracking and reminders, and the tenant portal; non-members can still activate the tenant portal for one property for €7 one-time in the app. AI and e-signature credits are optional one-off top-ups.

Conclusion: Rent 1.1.0 is two releases in one: a foundation rebuild that makes the whole app faster and future-proof, and a feature wave aimed at the unglamorous truths of self-managed renting — signatures you can track honestly, the insurance attestation nobody remembers to re-collect, a guarantor document that respects article 2297 instead of working around it, and the month's rents on your Lock Screen. The free tier didn't shrink — first property free, receipts free on every account — and since 04/10/2026 everything else is one membership at €6 a month or €59 a year, renewed automatically, cancel any time. Update the app, then check your signature queue — it finally tells the truth.

France's New Lease Template From 1 October 2026: What Changes for Landlords and Tenants

From 1 October 2026, every residential lease signed or renewed in France must follow an updated official template. The change comes from Décret n° 2026-596 of 6 July 2026. It is a short text, and most of a lease stays exactly as it was. But one clause is now written by the State word for word, and a lease drafted from an old model will no longer match. This guide explains what changed, what did not, and what to check before you sign.

Can Your AI Assistant Handle French Admin? MCP, Explained for Expats

Ask a chatbot whether Lyon is in a zone tendue, or what notice period applies to your tenant, and you will get a confident answer — which may be quietly wrong. French administrative rules change by decree, by quarter and by commune, faster than any AI model's training data. In 2026 there is a better way: the Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets your assistant call real, maintained legal calculators instead of guessing. Here is what that means in practice, what you can already do free of charge, and where the limits are.

Renting Out Your French Property in 2026: The Rules That Changed (Le Meur, DPE, Registry)

If you own a French property and rent it out — or planned to start this summer — three sets of rules moved under your feet, and July 2026 is when they all become visible at once. The loi Le Meur tax split showed up for the first time in this spring's income declaration (it applies to 2025 income). The national registration teleservice for short-term lets came into force on 20 May 2026. And the DPE letting-ban calendar keeps tightening, now reaching tourist rentals too. This guide walks a non-resident or expat owner through what actually changed, what it costs to ignore, and what to check before the next tenant or guest arrives. It is general information, not legal or tax advice.
