RentMaster was written by a computer programmer who is also a landlord.  Because we use this software ourselves we have made every effort to make this program as easy to use and time saving as possible.
The first version of RentMaster was created in 1997 and was intended for our use only.  As time went by it was decided that other landlords could also benefit from the benfits we were receiving.
RentMaster is a division of First Byte Solutions Ltd.  The Managing Director of First Byte Solutions Ltd is Andrew Keat.
