RentRoll is the modern, lightweight platform for self-managing landlords and small property firms — residential or commercial, multi-tenant or single-tenant. Stop wrangling spreadsheets. Skip the enterprise software contracts. Run your portfolio from one clean dashboard.
If you own a handful of commercial buildings or manage them for a small group of owners, you're stuck between two bad options. Here's the reality most operators face every month.
Partial payments, prior balances, late fees, CPI escalations — it all lives in one Excel file with three different versions floating around. By month four, no one knows which is the source of truth.
Every January you sit down with last year's expenses, calculate each tenant's sqft fraction, prorate by active months, format a statement, and email it as a clumsy PDF. Three days minimum. One typo and a tenant disputes it.
For software you'll use four hours a week. The enterprise platforms are priced for hundred-unit operators, with onboarding fees, training sessions, and a feature surface area you'll never touch.
Base rent, escalation schedules, partial payments, prior balances, and (for commercial leases) additional rent — all modeled correctly the first time. No more Excel formula spaghetti.
If you run commercial properties, this is the single most painful task we automated end-to-end. Compare actual reimbursable expenses against the annual budget, allocate the variance by sqft fraction and active months, and download per-tenant statements. (Residential landlords can skip this one.)
For rent and one-off charges alike. Auto-numbered, properly formatted, downloadable as a PDF that doesn't look like it came out of QuickBooks 2008.
