Built for landlords. Not for enterprise. Not for fees.
- Enterprise suites
- Made for back offices running thousands of units. A monthly base fee before per-transaction charges, paid onboarding on bigger plans, and a dozen screens to do one thing.
- Fee-funded apps
- "Free" because your applicants pay: application and screening fees on every vacancy. The accounting and automation you actually need usually sit behind the paid plan.
- The spreadsheet
- Free, right up until the tenant who swears they paid. Then it's your word, their screenshot, and a cell someone overwrote.
Landlord's Desk is lean, fast and priced for people who own the buildings. One plan. Every feature. No application fees. An AI that does the busywork and never spends a dollar without you.
Everything your rentals need. AI does the busywork.
Money
Know who owes what, down to the cent, without touching a spreadsheet.
Rent that posts itself
Every active lease gets its rent charge automatically each month, with first-month proration handled your way. One charge per lease per month, so nobody gets billed twice.
Receipt scanningAI
Snap a receipt or upload an invoice. AI reads the merchant, date, total and category, and drafts the expense for you to approve.
Online rent payments
Tenants pay by card or bank transfer from their private page, and every payment posts to the ledger automatically. Zelle, check or cash? Record it in seconds. Any processing fee is shown to the tenant before they pay.
Deposits and reports
Security deposits get their own ledger. Export rent, leases, deposits, expenses and maintenance to CSV in one click for your accountant or lender.
Tenants and repairs
The routine runs itself. Anything that spends money waits for you.
Maintenance and email sortingAI
Requests come in through each tenant's own link and tenant emails land in your inbox. AI sorts them so nothing gets buried.
Approvals with limits
For vendor dispatch and late-rent reminders, choose: suggest, ask me first, or automatic within a spending limit you set. No more surprise invoices.
A private page for every tenant
Pay rent, see the balance and payment history, request repairs and e-sign documents. One link, no app to download.
Ask your portfolioAI
Ask a question like "who's behind on rent?" and get the answer from your own records.
Leases and vacancies
From empty unit to signed lease, with a process you can stand behind.
Lease readingAI
Upload a PDF or a phone photo of a lease. AI fills in the tenant, rent, dates and deposit for you to check and save.
Fair, published criteria
Publish a listing with photos and your screening criteria before anyone applies. Every applicant acknowledges the exact version they applied under.
Applications without the invasive stuff
Co-applicants, income, rental history, references and private document uploads. No Social Security numbers, no credit checks, no application fees. AI never screens or scores applicants.
Approve to draft lease in one click
Approval creates the tenant and a draft lease. Nothing is billed until you finalize. E-sign documents and renewal drafts live in the same place.
Everything the big platforms do. Without the big-platform headache.
Landlord's Desk gives you the capabilities people expect from major property management platforms, adds modern AI and automation, and makes the whole thing cleaner, faster and easier to understand.
Powerful, but it feels simple
One clean command center: who owes rent, payments and expenses, leases and renewals, tenant messages, maintenance, vacancies, applications, documents and e-signatures. No jumping between tools, no maze of menus.
Your Today page shows exactly what needs you, the moment you log in.
AI does the work. Rules decide the numbers.
AI reads receipts and documents, sorts incoming messages, helps with reconciliation and answers questions about your portfolio. Balances, billing, lease status and approvals follow fixed rules and your sign-off, never a guess.
One rent charge per lease per month, and nothing that spends money runs without your OK.
Built for 5 to 100 units
Not enterprise software shrunk down. Faster setup, clearer pricing and only the features you'll actually use. No accounting degree, no IT department, no weeks of training.
AI in every plan, simple pricing by unit count, and no application fees.
You always know what happened
Money stays traceable. AI suggestions stay reviewable. Important actions ask for confirmation first. Every record keeps its history, so you can see what happened, why, and what comes next.
It works beside you like an assistant, not a system you have to work around.
The whole rental lifecycle, connected
A vacant unit moves from listing to signed lease to rent collection and renewal in one place, with a clear history the whole way. Leasing, money, maintenance, documents and messages work together instead of living in separate products.

Straight answers.
What does the AI actually do?
It reads your leases and receipts and fills in the details for you. It sorts maintenance requests and tenant emails so nothing gets buried. It answers questions about your own portfolio, like who's behind on rent. And it drafts renewals and routine actions for your approval, so nothing that costs money happens without you.
How do my tenants pay?
Online, from their private tenant page, by card or bank transfer. Payments post to the ledger automatically, and tenants see any processing fee before they confirm. Paid another way, like Zelle, check or cash? Record it in seconds and everything updates.
How fast can I get set up?
Snap a photo or upload the PDF of each lease and AI fills in the tenant, rent, dates and deposit for you to check. Founding members also get a one-on-one setup call with the founder to get every lease and balance in.
How do I fill a vacancy?
Publish a listing page with photos and your screening criteria, then share the link anywhere you advertise: Zillow, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, a yard sign. Applicants apply online, you review them against the same published criteria, and one click turns an approval into a tenant record and a draft lease.
How does screening stay fair?
Every applicant sees and acknowledges the exact criteria version they're applying under, and everyone goes through the same steps: income, rental history, references and private document uploads. It's fair and private by design, with no application fees and no Social Security numbers. This isn't legal advice; fair-housing rules vary by state and city.
How much will it cost?
One simple plan based on how many units you manage, with every feature included. Founding members get up to 60 days free, then 30% off for their first 12 paid months, and you'll see the exact price before you pay anything.
Does it work for property managers?
Yes. Invite your team with owner, admin, manager and staff roles and run every property from one desk. Tell us on the form what your owners need from you, and it shapes what we build next.
Retire the shoebox.
Your buildings deserve better than sticky notes and screenshots.
