What is Central Rentals landlord software?

Central Rentals is an all-in-one property management platform built for Canadian landlords, combining rent collection, tenant screening, Canadian-compliant lease generation, maintenance ticketing, document storage and tax-ready reporting (T776, NR4, T5013).

How do tenants pay rent?

Tenants pay their landlord directly using the payment instructions the landlord publishes inside Central Rentals — Interac e-Transfer, bank transfer, or cheque. Central Rentals never touches rent money; we only track, receipt, and reconcile it, and generate CRA-ready tax reports.

Are the leases legally compliant in my province?

Yes. The smart lease generator produces leases tailored to all 13 provinces and territories, including the Ontario Standard Lease and provincial notice forms (N1–N13), with e-signature support.

How does tenant screening work?

Applicants complete a digital application, and landlords can run background and credit checks through screening partner Certn, with results delivered to the dashboard.

Can it help me at tax time?

Yes — every payment and expense is tracked all year, with T776-ready income statements, NR4 summaries and T5013 reports ready for your accountant.

What about maintenance requests?

Tenants submit tickets with photos from their portal; landlords triage, dispatch vendors and everyone tracks status in real time.

How do I get started?

Sign up free in about 30 seconds — no credit card required. Add your first property, invite tenants and collect rent online the same day.

How do I evict a tenant in Alberta? — Central Rentals Canada

Step-by-step in Alberta

1
Identify your grounds. Non-payment, persistent late payments, illegal activity, or landlord-own-use each have a different notice type under the Residential Tenancies Act (Alberta).
2
Serve the correct notice. In Alberta, the standard notice is 14-day eviction notice + Form A. Central Rentals pre-fills the right form based on your grounds and tenant data.
3
Wait out the statutory notice period. Alberta requires a specific number of days before you can apply to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service — Central Rentals counts these days automatically.
4
File the eviction application. Submit your case to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service with all served notices, the lease, and rent ledger as evidence. Central Rentals exports this bundle in PDF.
5
Attend the hearing. Bring your evidence, served notices, and rent ledger. Central Rentals stores everything in one tap-to-share folder.
6
Enforce the order. If granted, the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service order is enforced by the local sheriff or bailiff — Central Rentals reminds you of the move-out date and helps you reclaim possession.

Why this matters

Because Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act (Alberta) is heavily tenant-protective, even one procedural mistake (wrong notice, wrong service method, wrong days) can void an entire eviction. Following the documented path is the only way to win at Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service.

Frequently asked

Can I evict for non-payment of rent in Alberta?

Yes. After 14-day eviction notice + Form A is served and the statutory window passes, you can apply to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service. Central Rentals' Late Rent Module sends the notice automatically when rent is past due.

How long does an eviction take in Alberta in 2026?

Typical end-to-end timelines range from 6 weeks (uncontested non-payment) to 6 months (contested cause). Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service backlog and your evidence quality determine the outcome — Central Rentals' bundle reduces hearings.

What if my tenant pays the rent after I serve 14-day eviction notice + Form A?

In most provinces, paying the arrears within the notice period voids the notice. Central Rentals warns you when a payment cancels a notice so you don't lose the timeline.
