What landlords are saying about Central Rentals Canada.
From single-unit owners to multi-province portfolios — here's how Canadian landlords run their rentals with us.
“I manage 14 doors across Ottawa and rent day used to be a full-time job. With Central Rentals, rent lands in my account automatically and the receipts send themselves. I got my weekends back.”
“The lease generator alone is worth it. Ontario Standard Lease, my custom clauses, e-signature — done in ten minutes. My paralegal was impressed, which never happens.”
Scale to a property management company — overnight, solo.
Mark is built into every Central Rentals account. Inside one landlord portal he runs the whole show — the kind of operation that used to need an office of five — while you stay in your day job.

How does automated rent roll reconciliation work in Central Rentals?
Automated rent roll reconciliation matches every incoming payment — Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD), Interac e-Transfer, or Stripe card payment — to the correct lease and rent period without manual data entry. Central Rentals Canada parses e-Transfer auto-deposit emails, applies PAD returns automatically, and flags any variance so landlords never have to hunt across bank statements. Reconciled ledgers export directly to T776 for annual Canadian tax filing.
| Plan | Per unit / month (CAD) | Best for | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $0.99 | 1-10 units | Certn screening (per-screen), PAD, N4 generator, T776 export |
| Professional | $0.79 | 11-100 units | Everything in Starter + late-rent autopilot + white-label tenant portal |
| Enterprise | $0.59 | 100+ units | Everything in Professional + dedicated support + SLA |
