The rent book, done properly.
If you have one rental, or a duplex, or a handful of doors, the landlord platforms want $10 to $30 a month to hold a ledger you could keep in a notebook. Lease is the notebook, done properly: it knows what rent is due, keeps score, prints the paperwork, and adds up the year for your taxes.
WHAT IT DOES
- Properties, units and tenants with lease dates, rent, due day, deposit held and the late fee rule from the lease
- Rent charges post themselves on every due date, so the ledger is always right up to today
- Log payments in seconds: date, amount, Zelle, Venmo, cash, check or transfer, with partial payments and notes
- Running balance per tenant, and a Who is behind board with days late
- One-click late fees worked out from each lease (flat or percent, after the grace period), and credits to waive them
- Printable rent receipt, tenant ledger statement, and a late-rent notice with the numbers filled in
- Expenses per property in the categories your tax return uses: repairs, insurance, property taxes, mortgage interest, utilities, HOA, management, advertising, cleaning, legal and more
- Year end: income, expenses by category and net for each property, with a CSV for your accountant
- Lease-ending reminders at 90, 60 and 30 days, so you decide on renewals and rent increases in time
- Twelve-month chart of rent due against rent collected
- Search, backup and restore

Lease
rent ledger for small landlords: rent posts itself, log payments, late fees, expenses by tax category, deposits, and printable receipts, statements and late notices
A rent ledger for landlords with one to ten units who do not want a $12-a-month platform. Rent charges post themselves on each due date, you log what comes in (Zelle, Venmo, cash, check, partial payments), and it tells you who is behind and when a late fee applies. Expenses sorted into the categories your tax return uses, a year-end summary per property with a CSV for your accountant, a security deposit tracker with an itemized return statement, and printable rent receipts, tenant statements and late-rent notices. One file, offline, no subscription.
