Movin' In is an open-source and cross-platform Rental Property Management Platform with a backend for managing properties, customers and bookings, a frontend and a mobile app for renting properties.

This project emerged from a desire to build without boundaries – a fully customizable and operational property rental platform where every aspect is within your control:

• Own the UI/UX: Design unique customer experiences without fighting against template limitations
• Control the Backend: Implement custom business logic and data structures that perfectly match the requirements
• Master DevOps: Deploy, scale, and monitor the application with preferred tools and workflows
• Extend Freely: Add new features and integrations without platform constraints or additional fees

With this Movin' In, you can deploy your own customizable property rental marketplace at minimal cost using the Docker-based setup. The platform integrates Stripe for secure payments and can be efficiently hosted on a 1GB RAM droplet, making it an ideal choice for single/multi-agency operations looking for a scalable and cost-effective solution. You can deploy this solution for under $5/month using cloud providers like Hetzner or DigitalOcean.

Movin' In is designed to work with multiple agencies. Agencies can manage their properties and bookings from the backend. Movin' In can also work with only one agency and can be used as a property rental aggregator as well.

From the backend, administrators can create and manage agencies, properties, locations, users and bookings.

When new agencies are created, they receive an email prompting them to create their account to access the backend and manage their properties, customers and bookings.

Customers can sign up from the frontend or the mobile app, search for available properties based on location point and time, choose a property and complete the checkout process.

A key design decision was made to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript due to its numerous advantages. TypeScript offers strong typing, tooling, and integration, resulting in high-quality, scalable, more readable and maintainable code that is easy to debug and test.

Agency-Oriented

Movin' In is agency-oriented. This means that there are three types of users:

• Admin: He has full access to the backend. He can do everything.
• Agency: It has restricted access to the backend. It can only manage its properties, customers and bookings.
• User: He has only access to the frontend and the mobile app. He cannot access the backend.

Movin' In is designed to work with multiple agencies. Each agency can manage its properties and bookings from the backend. Movin' In can also work with only one agency as well.

From the backend, admins can create and manage agencies, properties, locations, users and bookings.

When new agencies are created, they receive an email prompting them to create their account in order to access the backend and manage their properties, customers and bookings.
