Already Self-Managing
Already have tenants?
Bring them with you.
The hardest part of any new tool isn’t the features — it’s getting everyone on board. LeaseBase handles the transition for you.
Sound familiar?
You’ve got tenants mid-lease. Rent is due on the 1st. You’ve been collecting via Venmo, tracking in a spreadsheet, and texting about maintenance.
The thought of changing anything feels like pulling a thread that unravels everything. What if a tenant doesn’t get the memo? What if rent doesn’t come in on the 1st? What if I break something that was working “well enough”?
Now imagine this
Open your phone on a Tuesday morning. See exactly who’s paid. See a maintenance request that came in overnight — already triaged, vendor notified, tenant updated. See your lease renewal coming up in 45 days, with a draft offer ready for your review.
Close your phone. Go to work. Everything is handled.
Here’s how you get there
Three steps. Most landlords are fully set up in under an hour.
Import your data
Upload your spreadsheet (CSV or Excel). Properties, units, tenants, rent amounts, lease dates — one file, done in 2 minutes.
LeaseBase notifies tenants
Each tenant gets a professional portal invitation. Automatic follow-ups on day 3, 7, and 10 for anyone who doesn’t respond.
Watch the board
A live dashboard shows every tenant’s progress: invited, account created, payment method added. No chasing. No guessing.
You see exactly where every tenant is
No spreadsheet tracking. No wondering who got the memo.
| Tenant | Unit | Invited | Account | Payment | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maria Garcia | 123 Oak #1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Ready |
| James Wilson | 123 Oak #2 | ✓ | ✓ | — | Reminder sent |
| Sarah Chen | 456 Elm | ✓ | — | — | SMS day 7 |
Automated follow-ups run on day 3 (email), day 7 (text), and day 10 (you get an alert). Most tenants are set up within the first week.
What your tenant sees
Your tenant gets a professional invitation email. They click a link, set a password, and they’re in their portal. From there they can:
- Pay rent online — bank transfer or card, one click or autopay
- Submit maintenance requests — with photos and descriptions
- View their lease — terms, dates, documents
- Get updates — payment confirmations, maintenance status, announcements
It looks professional. It works on any phone. It’s free for tenants.
Most tenants prefer this to texting and Venmo. It’s not a downgrade — it’s an upgrade.
What changes for you
Before
