RentCredit Calc

A simple web app that helps landlords calculate fair rent credits for tenants when appliances break down. It uses a standardized formula based on appliance type, out-of-service duration, and typical alternative costs (e.g., cooler rental, laundromat fees) to automatically generate allowance amounts, ensuring consistency and tenant satisfaction.
