How to Export Your Data from DoorLoop
- Export Properties: Go to Properties in the left sidebar. Click the Export button (Excel icon) at the top-right of the property list. This downloads an XLSX file with all property addresses and details.
- Export Tenants & Contacts: Go to People → Tenants (or Contacts). Click the Export button to download an XLSX with tenant names, contact info, and unit assignments.
- Export Leases: Go to Leasing → Leases. Click Export to download lease start/end dates, rent amounts, and terms as XLSX.
- Export Transactions: Go to Accounting → Transactions. Set your date range and click Export. This downloads the complete payment and charge history as XLSX.
- Export Work Orders (optional): Go to Maintenance → Work Orders. Click Export to download maintenance request details, statuses, and assignments.
- Upload to LeaseBase: Go to app.leasebase.ai/app/import and drop your exported files. Our AI classifies each document and extracts your data automatically.
How LeaseBase Imports Your Data
- Upload — Drop your CSV, XLSX, or PDF files into the importer. Multiple files at once are fine.
- AI classifies & extracts — Our AI identifies each document type (property list, tenant export, lease file, transaction report) and extracts every property, unit, tenant, and lease term. Address normalization and fuzzy matching resolve formatting differences automatically.
- Review & confirm — You see exactly what was found. Green means auto-matched to existing records. Amber means confirm. Nothing is created until you approve.
What Gets Imported
- Properties — addresses, property types, and all associated details
- Units — unit numbers, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, rent amounts
- Tenants — names, contact information, unit assignments
- Leases — start and end dates, rent amounts, lease terms
Payment history can be exported from DoorLoop for your records, but LeaseBase starts fresh with rent collection. Your historical transaction data remains in your exported Excel files.
Why Landlords Switch from DoorLoop
- Compliance automation: LeaseBase monitors AB 1482 rent caps, local rent control ordinances, and required disclosures across 60+ California cities — updated nightly and surfaced before you make a mistake. DoorLoop does not offer jurisdiction-level compliance tracking.
- AI-powered operations: Smart briefings, renewal risk detection, and proactive maintenance triage. LeaseBase watches your portfolio continuously and surfaces what needs attention — not just what you thought to check.
- Flat-rate pricing: LeaseBase charges flat monthly rates with no per-unit fees. As your portfolio grows, your software cost stays predictable.
- White-labeled payments: Tenants see your brand, not a third-party processor. ACH and card payments built in with no Stripe branding visible to tenants.
