The Landlord Independence Platform™
You’re already managing your rentals.
Stop losing money doing it without a system.
Every month without a system is another month you risk missed deadlines, uncollected fees, and compliance mistakes. LeaseBase™ brings it all together — rent, leases, maintenance, compliance — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Free for your first 3 units. No credit card. Your tenants get a portal too.
80% of landlords self-manage — you’re not alone
The real reasons self-managing feels overwhelming
It’s not the work. It’s the worry.
“Am I going to make a legal mistake?”
Deposit rules. Notice periods. Rent caps. They vary by state, by city, sometimes by building age. Getting it wrong can cost thousands.
LeaseBase tracks the rules for your state and city — and cites the specific statute so you’re informed before you act.
“What am I forgetting?”
Lease expirations. Renewal deadlines. Notice windows. Deposit return dates. The anxiety of knowing there’s something you should be doing but can’t remember what.
LeaseBase computes every deadline from your lease dates and your jurisdiction’s rules. It alerts you before anything is due.
“I don’t want to be the bad guy”
The late payment text. The rent increase conversation. The lease violation you’ve been putting off. The tenant who seemed fine until they weren’t.
LeaseBase drafts every notice and message for you — in the right tone, with the right legal language. You review, adjust if you want, and send. The system handles the hard conversations so you don’t have to.
“I’m figuring this out alone”
No colleagues. No compliance team. No screening department. Just you, a spreadsheet, and Google.
LeaseBase watches your portfolio daily, screens your applicants, drafts your communications, and tells you exactly what needs attention next — like having a back office without the overhead.
You don’t need more tools. You need one system that handles it all — and brings your tenants along without the drama.
Your portfolio. At a glance.
Every morning, your AI assistant reviews your entire portfolio and tells you exactly where things stand.
Daily Briefing
“All 8 leases are in good standing. Cash flow is up 3% this quarter. One thing this week: the Johnsons’ lease expires in 52 days. Based on their payment history and local rent caps, a 4.8% increase is within the legal limit and $120 below market. I’ve drafted the renewal notice — want to review it?”
Rent, maintenance, compliance, and cash flow in one number.
Every date that matters, ordered by urgency.
Renewal notices, tenant messages, and compliance alerts, ready for your approval.
Every lease scanned against your jurisdiction’s current rules.
Rent collected while life continues
Tenants pay online — or enroll in autopay and never think about it again. You see who paid, who’s pending, and who’s late at a glance. Reminders go out automatically.
No more Venmo screenshots. No more spreadsheet tracking. No more chasing.
How rent collection works
Maintenance handled without chaos
Tenants submit requests through their portal. The system categorizes the issue, estimates the cost, recommends a vendor, and dispatches them — with your approval.
No more phone tag. No more scrambling. You stay informed without being the bottleneck.
How maintenance works
You check once. Everything’s green. You close the app and go about your day.
“I almost didn’t switch”
Lisa managed 8 units in Sacramento with a spreadsheet and Venmo for 6 years. She knew she was losing money — late fees she never enforced, a lease renewal she almost missed, hours every weekend reconciling payments.
But every time she looked at PM software, the same thought stopped her: “How do I get my tenants to use this?”
On a Saturday morning, she uploaded her tenant list to LeaseBase. Eight names, eight emails. She clicked send. By Monday, 5 of her 8 tenants had created their accounts. By Wednesday, 7 had payment methods set up. The holdout — her oldest tenant, 72 years old — got a text message follow-up and called to ask for help. Lisa walked her through it in 4 minutes.
“The part I was most afraid of took less time than my Sunday rent spreadsheet.”
Built for your state. Not a generic template.
LeaseBase tracks jurisdiction-specific rules for California, Texas, New York, and Florida — including local city ordinances.

If you were buying your first rental property today, would you choose to manage it with a spreadsheet?
Things LeaseBase catches that spreadsheets don’t
Lease expiring in 52 days
LeaseBase flagged it 90 days out, calculated the max rent increase under AB 1482, and drafted the renewal notice. Without the alert, you’d have noticed at day 15 — scrambling to avoid vacancy.
Security deposit return deadline: 14 days left
California requires itemized deductions within 21 days. Miss it and you could owe up to 2× the deposit. LeaseBase tracks the clock from the moment a tenant moves out.
Rent 3 days late — $75 late fee uncollected
Your spreadsheet doesn’t send reminders or calculate fees. LeaseBase auto-notified the tenant on day 1, applied the fee on day 3, and documented everything for your records.
Missing disclosure: lead-based paint notice not on file
Federal law requires this for pre-1978 buildings. Penalties can reach $19,507 per violation. LeaseBase scans every lease against your jurisdiction’s required disclosures and flags what’s missing.
These are real scenarios the system monitors for every property, every day. Setup: instant import. No re-entering data.
