Intended outcome
Create connected property, tenant, lease, rent, and expense records.
Prerequisites
Sign in, choose a billing plan if prompted, and gather the property address, unit names, tenant contacts, and lease terms.
Steps
- Under Portfolio, open Properties, select Add property, and save the address and unit structure.
- Under Portfolio, open Tenants and select Add tenant for each person needed on a lease.
- Under Leases, open Lease register, create a lease, and select its property, unit, tenants, dates, and rent.
- Under Rent, open Charges & payments to confirm charges and record payments as money arrives.
- Under Expenses, open Expense register to record rental costs with their property, date, category, and vendor.
Expected result
The dashboard and reports can connect activity to the correct rental records.
Common problems
- If Add property is disabled, open the account menu, choose Billing, and select an eligible plan.
- If a unit or tenant is missing, save that record before reopening the lease.
Product boundaries
LandlordRentals organizes records; it does not screen tenants, move money, or replace legal or accounting advice.
