Migration Guide
Switch from Hemlane to LeaseBase
Export your financial data and lease ledgers from Hemlane and import them into LeaseBase. We’ll help you bring over everything Hemlane lets you download.
What You Can Export from Hemlane
Hemlane’s exports are finance-oriented. Lease ledgers and transaction data export well, but tenant and property data is not bulk-exportable in structured format.
| Data Type | Exportable? | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Lease Ledgers | ✓ | CSV, Excel |
| Income & Expense Reports | ✓ | CSV, Excel, QuickBooks |
| Transaction Data | ✓ | CSV, Excel |
| Maintenance Reports | ✓ | CSV |
| Lease Documents | Partial | PDF (individual download only) |
| Tenant Data (bulk) | ✗ | — |
| Property Data (bulk) | ✗ | — |
Step-by-Step: Export Your Data from Hemlane
- Log in to your Hemlane account at hemlane.com.
- Navigate to Financials. Open Lease Ledgers for each property and click Export to download as CSV or Excel. These contain tenant names, unit assignments, rent amounts, and payment history.
- Go to Reports → Income & Expense. Export the report as CSV, Excel, or QuickBooks-compatible format for your financial records.
- For transaction data, navigate to Transactions and export the full list as CSV.
- To export maintenance reports, go to Maintenance and download the report as CSV.
- For lease documents, open each lease in Hemlane and download the PDF individually. There is no bulk download option.
- Upload your lease PDFs alongside the exported CSVs — LeaseBase’s AI can extract property and tenant data from both.
Tip: The lease ledger exports are the most valuable files for migration. They contain property, unit, tenant, and rent information in one place.
How LeaseBase Imports Your Data
- Upload — Drop your exported CSV, XLSX, or PDF files into the LeaseBase importer. Upload multiple files at once.
- AI classifies & extracts — Our AI identifies the document type, extracts properties, units, tenants, and lease terms automatically. Address normalization and fuzzy matching resolve formatting differences between files.
- Review & confirm — Everything is shown for your approval before anything is created. Green means auto-matched, amber means confirm. One click and your portfolio is live.
What Gets Imported
- Properties — addresses, property types, ownership details
- Units — unit numbers, bedrooms, bathrooms, rent amounts
- Tenants — names, contact information, unit assignments
- Leases — start/end dates, rent amounts, deposit amounts, lease terms
Payment history can be exported from Hemlane for your records, but LeaseBase starts fresh with rent collection — tenants get a clean ledger and a new payment portal from day one.
Why Landlords Switch from Hemlane
- Compliance automation — Hemlane has no compliance engine. LeaseBase tracks rent caps, deposit limits, and required disclosures for 60+ California cities automatically.
- Full self-management tools — Hemlane is designed as a hybrid model where you pay for their team to help manage. LeaseBase gives you the full toolset to self-manage independently at flat-rate pricing.
- AI-powered insights — Market intelligence, smart briefings, and proactive alerts that replace manual research and expensive advisory services.
- White-labeled payments — Your tenants see your brand when they pay rent, not a third-party payment processor.
