The landlord of one to a dozen US units who collects the rent, screens the applicants and writes the notices themselvesNot a tenant, not a letting or managing agent with a portfolio under management, not a multifamily or commercial operator, and not anyone looking for legal advice on what their state requires

The rent ledger for a landlord who manages their own units

Tenantvo is for the landlord who does it themselves: one unit or a dozen, no agent, no staff, a spreadsheet and a folder of paperwork. The free worksheets here produce the documents a letting actually generates, worked from your own figures rather than a blank template: the reference a future landlord asks you for, the notice to vacate with the dates worked out, and the move-in and move-out inspection checklist sized for your units. Tenantvo Pro keeps the ledger underneath them: every unit, every tenant, what was charged, what was paid, what is owed, and the documents filed against the tenancy they belong to.

Tenantvo Pro is $19 per month for all your units, billed monthly.

Ledger, documents, proof

What Tenantvo keeps for a landlord between one tenancy and the next

What was charged, what was paid, what is owed

A bank statement shows money arriving. A ledger shows it against a tenancy, a month and an amount due, which is the only form in which arrears are a number rather than an argument, and the only form the year-end can be built from.

Worked from the tenancy, not from a blank template

A notice with the wrong date and a reference with no figures in it are the two documents landlords produce most often. Both are arithmetic over a record you already have, which is why the worksheets ask for the tenancy rather than for a signature.

Condition, dates and payments, filed where the tenancy is

Deposits are disputed at the end and evidence is gathered at the beginning. A move-in checklist filed against the tenancy, and a payment history beside it, is what turns a disagreement into a document.

The documents are yours. Tenantvo Pro keeps the ledger behind them.

Upgrading turns the documents into a record. The tenancy you wrote a reference for is a tenancy in the ledger, with the payments that made the reference true; the notice you served has a date and sits against the unit; the inspection checklist is filed with the tenancy it opened or closed. Export is always available, so the ledger is yours whether or not you stay.

  • Take the worked document away as a file for your records.
  • Issue paperwork with your name on it and without ours.
  • Keep the document you worked and open it again at the end of the tenancy.
  • Put your own name on the notice and the reference.
  • Send the notice or the reference from the record it came from.
  • Connect your own Stripe account if you take rent by card.
  • Connect the bookkeeping you file the return from.

Should a landlord buy property management software instead?

If you manage other people's property for a fee, or run a portfolio with staff, buy property management software: it is built for owners, statements and trust accounting, and this is not. Tenantvo is for the landlord who owns the units and does the work.

Who it is built for

Tenantvo: The owner who manages their own units

Property management software: The agent managing units for owners

What it keeps

Tenantvo: Tenancies, rent charged and paid, and the documents around them

Property management software: That plus owner statements, trust accounts and portfolio reporting

What it costs

Tenantvo: One price for all your units

Property management software: Commonly per unit, per month, with a minimum

Setup

Tenantvo: A unit and a tenant in a few minutes

Property management software: Usually an onboarding process

The comparison is category level and names no product and no price. What a particular platform charges is on that vendor's own pricing page, and this site quotes no competitor's figure.
