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 much does it cost?

Plans start at $60/month for the DIY/Starter tier (1–10 units), $150/month for Growth/Professional (20–100 units) and $250/month for Enterprise (100+ units). Sign up free with no credit card required.

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 raise rent legally in New Brunswick?

Step-by-step in New Brunswick

1
Confirm you're past the 12-month lockout window. In New Brunswick, you can only raise rent once every 12 months for the same tenant. Check your lease anniversary date.
2
Calculate the legal maximum increase. New Brunswick's annual guideline rent increase is set each year by the Residential Tenancies Tribunal — Central Rentals pulls the current value automatically when you generate the notice.
3
Serve the proper written notice. In New Brunswick, use Notice of Termination Form 6. The notice must be served at least 3 months (90 days) before the rent change takes effect.
4
Document delivery. Photograph the served notice or send it via tracked email with a read-receipt. Central Rentals timestamps every notice you send.
5
Update your lease and rent collection schedule. If you collect rent via Central Rentals' Stripe-CAD integration, the new amount goes live automatically on the effective date — no manual sync.

Why this matters

Because the Residential Tenancies Act (NB) caps how often and by how much landlords can raise rent, ignoring the rule exposes you to Residential Tenancies Tribunal fines, rent rollbacks, and tenant counter-claims at hearing.

Frequently asked

Can I raise rent more than the guideline in New Brunswick?

Sometimes. In New Brunswick, above-guideline increases are allowed for substantial capital repairs or extraordinary cost increases — you must apply to Residential Tenancies Tribunal with documented proof. Central Rentals stores the receipts and generates the application bundle for you.

What happens if my tenant refuses the increase?

They can dispute it at the Residential Tenancies Tribunal. If your notice was served correctly with Notice of Termination Form 6, the dispute almost always resolves in the landlord's favour. Central Rentals retains the audit trail of every served notice.

Does Central Rentals automatically apply the new guideline each year?

Yes. The Smart Rent Increase tool pulls the current-year guideline for New Brunswick and pre-populates Notice of Termination Form 6 — you just review and send.
