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.
