A proptech firm that started as a rental app but has since built a landlord licensing and compliance tool has rebranded to reflect its current focus.

GetRentr was launched in 2015 as an app to connect tenants, landlords and tradesmen but has moved into providing property management tools and licensing and regulation tracking for the rental sector.

It now tracks licensing schemes and lets landlords and agents enter and audit details of entire portfolios broken down by postcode to check that they and their properties comply with local regulations.

The company has said in a statement that to reflect this shift it has rebranded to a new company name called Kamma, which means results in Sanskrit.

Kamma said in a statement: “We weren’t a rental app anymore.

“We had morphed into a company that harnessed data to answer difficult business questions at scale.

“We were combining multiple datasets to drive unique and powerful insights into the property market for multiple stakeholders. While we were born as GetRentr, we have grown into something else and this name no longer reflected our offering.

“Given that results are fundamentally what we do as a company, we thought, let’s just call ourselves what we do.”
