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.

Puis-je exiger un dépôt de garantie au Québec?

Étape par étape au Quebec

1
Vous NE pouvez PAS exiger un dépôt de garantie au Québec — c'est interdit par la loi.
2
Vous pouvez exiger le 1er mois de loyer à la signature du bail. Central Rentals perçoit ce premier loyer via Stripe-CAD et l'enregistre horodaté.
3
Vous pouvez exiger un dépôt clé symbolique (10-25 $) pour les clés ou les télécommandes. Central Rentals tient le ledger par locataire.
4
Tout autre dépôt (animaux, dommages, ménage) est nul de plein droit — le locataire peut le récupérer par décision du TAL.
5
Pour vous protéger sans dépôt, exigez un endosseur ou utilisez la trousse de vérification Central Rentals (crédit + ID + référence) à la signature.

Pourquoi c'est important

Le Québec est le seul territoire au Canada où les dépôts de garantie sont interdits. Charger un dépôt expose le propriétaire à des poursuites au TAL et à des pénalités. Le bon outil de protection est une vérification rigoureuse à l'entrée — c'est ce que Central Rentals automatise.

Questions fréquentes

Puis-je exiger des post-dated checks au Québec?

Oui, mais le locataire peut refuser. Central Rentals propose plutôt un prélèvement automatique via Stripe-CAD — c'est légal, sans dépôt, et auto-réconcilié à votre ledger.

Comment me protéger des dommages sans dépôt?

Faites une inspection à l'entrée et à la sortie avec photos horodatées. Central Rentals' Module d'Inspection génère le rapport PDF que vous pouvez déposer au TAL.

Que dit le Code civil sur les dépôts pour animaux?

Interdits. Vous pouvez en revanche refuser un animal ou exiger un endosseur si la qualité de soins est en cause.
