Redmine vs RentRedi: at a glance
What is Redmine?
Twenty years in, Redmine is on a disciplined security-patch cadence behind its first major release since 6.0.
Redmine shipped 7.0.0 at the end of June with webhook triggers, a Rails 8 migration, and a header redesign, then followed it eight weeks later with 7.0.1 alongside backports to the 6.1 and 6.0 branches. That August release fixes five security defects, including a session-affecting API flaw and a stored XSS in the Textile formatter, and lands them on all three supported series at once. Alongside the real releases the feed also carries version-index wiki pages captured as entries, which are crawl artifacts rather than releases.
What is RentRedi?
RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.
RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

Twenty years in, Redmine is on a disciplined security-patch cadence behind its first major release since 6.0.
◆ Current state
Redmine shipped 7.0.0 at the end of June with webhook triggers, a Rails 8 migration, and a header redesign, then followed it eight weeks later with 7.0.1 alongside backports to the 6.1 and 6.0 branches. That August release fixes five security defects, including a session-affecting API flaw and a stored XSS in the Textile formatter, and lands them on all three supported series at once. Alongside the real releases the feed also carries version-index wiki pages captured as entries, which are crawl artifacts rather than releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The maintenance pattern is consistent and easy to read: coordinated multi-branch security releases roughly every two to three months, with the newest series also collecting performance and API work. Redmine 7.0.1 adds project information to the wiki page list API and fixes an OAuth2-related user deletion bug, so the 7.0 branch is absorbing polish rather than new capability. The three-branch support window is holding steady as 5.1 drops off the list.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next coordinated release to cover 7.0, 6.1, and 6.0 on the same schedule, with continued API and OAuth2 refinement on the 7.0 branch rather than new features before 7.1.
RentRedi
7.5PM
RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.
◆ Current state
RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.
◆ Where it's heading
October's releases served landlords with staff: team chat access, payment filters, receipts and dark mode. Tenant Certificate adds a tenant-side growth loop, because landlords who receive a certificate are asked to create a RentRedi account. Maintenance is becoming a hub for partner updates like Lessen's.
◆ Prediction
Expect Tenant Certificate data to feed into screening or applications inside RentRedi, and the read-only Lessen timeline to gain replies.
