Pendo Rentals is a solid Canadian-built platform for small landlords, but at CA$15/month it's 3× the price of Central Rentals, has no French Québec UI, and its notice library is Ontario-heavy. Central Rentals covers every province and territory with lease + notice templates in both English and French, at CA$5/month.
