What actually changes when you switch
Rent increases in one action
Our rent increase feature updates the lease rent, generates the correct provincial notice and updates the recurring invoice in one go.
The ledger and the scheduled withdrawal follow automatically, so what's on the lease, what's on the notice and what actually gets pulled are never out of sync.
Book Demo →Clear owner receipts
Attach the receipt when you log the expense. When the owner report is generated, the receipt appears as a link against the matching transaction, so owners get a clear picture.
Book Demo →Deposits & Last Month Rent
Depending on how the invoice is created, the deposit or last month's rent is held either as your liability — sitting on your balance sheet — or as a liability payable to the owner, paid out that month or the next.
When it's time to use it, we post a credit against the corresponding expense and apply it against last month's rent, so it shows as a clean income and expense pair on the owner report.
Book Demo →See what you earn per property
Transactions split across categories, invoices carry multiple line items, and your management revenue is tracked distinctly from owner funds.
Book Demo →EFT & Interac e-transfer
Tenants pay the way they already pay. Funds settle in Canadian dollars, in the currency your books, your owners and your accountant all work in.
Full, partial and over-payments are handled automatically, with any excess credited forward to the next invoice.
Book Demo →Canadian compliance
LTB forms, provincial standard leases & forms, GST/HST categories, tenant screening through a Canadian provider, and listing syndication to Canadian rental sites.
Your chart of accounts is structured for Canadian reporting from the first transaction.
