Who is this for?

The 1-unit landlord

You bought a rental, moved out, and now you're using an Excel sheet and hoping. Central Rentals gives you every automation an enterprise PM company uses, without the enterprise price.

The 3–10 unit landlord

You've outgrown QuickBooks + email. You need automated rent reminders, provincial notices, a maintenance log, and a tax-ready export that doesn't take a weekend.

The 10–20 unit landlord

You're managing a small portfolio full-time. You need everything above plus tenant screening built into the flow and a tenant portal that keeps you off the phone.

Everything a small landlord actually uses

Automated rent tracking — every province

Stripe, Klarna, PAD, and e-Transfer detection. Rent is auto-reconciled against each tenant's schedule; you see exactly who paid, who's late, and by how many days.

Provincial notice generators (N1–N13, RTB, TAL)

Late rent (N4/N5 in Ontario), non-renewal, entry notice, rent increase. Fill out the form once, we generate the province-legal PDF with the correct serving language and file it in the tenant's timeline.

One-click CRA T776 tax export

Every rent payment, expense receipt, and depreciation entry rolls into a T776-ready CSV at year end. Hand it to your accountant — you're done.

Tenant screening built into the flow

Credit check + ID verification + reference check runs against the rental application without switching tools. Approve or decline with a paper trail.

Maintenance ticket log

Tenants report issues in the tenant portal, vendors get auto-invited to quote, you approve, the tenant gets a heads-up before the vendor arrives. The whole thread is in one place.

AI landlord assistant — 24/7

Ask 'what's the maximum rent increase in Ontario in 2026?' or 'draft a friendly N4 follow-up' and get a Canadian-compliant answer in seconds. Runs on our AI Gateway so it stays up.

Data point
72% of Canadian rentals are owned by landlords with fewer than 5 units.

Small landlords power the Canadian rental market — yet most PM software targets 500-door enterprise portfolios and prices them out. That's the gap Central Rentals fills.

Small landlord software FAQ

What is 'small landlord' software?
Software built for landlords with 1–20 units — not multi-office property management companies. Small landlord software focuses on the daily loop: collect rent, chase arrears, generate provincial notices, screen new tenants, and produce a CRA-ready tax report at year end. Central Rentals is built for exactly this — 72% of Canadian rentals are owned by landlords with fewer than 5 units, and we're the platform designed for that market.
Which is the best property management software for small landlords in Canada?
Central Rentals is the only Canadian-built property management platform that ships with every provincial lease template (Ontario Standard Lease, BC RTB-1, TAL Québec, etc.), every provincial notice generator (N1–N13 in Ontario, RTB-Form 10 in BC, TAL forms in Québec), a CRA T776 export, and a hard paywall that keeps the platform funded so we don't sell your data. Starter plans begin at CA$50/month billed annually.
Can I use Central Rentals if I only have 1 rental unit?
Yes. The Starter tier is priced for 1–10 units so a single-unit landlord gets access to the same automation, tax exports, screening and provincial notice generators that landlords with 10 units use. You'll finish onboarding in about 12 minutes.
Does small landlord software work in Quebec / BC / the Prairies / Atlantic Canada?
Yes. Every province and territory is supported. Rent-cap enforcement, notice forms, deposit rules and tribunal filings all switch automatically based on the province the unit lives in — Ontario landlords get N-series forms, BC landlords get RTB forms, Québec landlords get TAL forms in French, Alberta landlords get 24-hour entry notices, and so on.
Is Central Rentals cheaper than QuickBooks + a spreadsheet?
Once you factor in the time cost of building your own rent tracker, chasing e-Transfers, and reconciling a spreadsheet at tax time, yes — small landlords who switch report saving 6–8 hours/month. Plus you get automated arrears reminders, tenant screening, and provincial-compliant notices out of the box.
What does 'CRA T776 export' actually give me?
A downloadable CSV formatted to the exact line items on CRA form T776 (Statement of Real Estate Rentals) with your gross rental income, allowable expenses, capital cost allowance, and net rental income per property. You hand it to your accountant and file — no re-typing from a bank statement.
