Switch from Landlord Studio to LeaseBase

Landlord Studio is a solid mobile-first income and expense tracker. But when you need lease management, compliance monitoring, and structured data export — you need a full property management platform.

Landlord Studio integrates with Xero (not QuickBooks). If you use Xero, you can also export financial data from there.

Step-by-Step: Export Your Data from Landlord Studio

Step 1. Open Landlord Studio on your phone or desktop and go to Reports.
Step 2. Select Income Report, set the date range to capture your full rental history, and tap Export. Choose CSV if you’re on the PRO plan, or PDF on GO.
Step 3. Repeat for Expense Report and Tax Report.
Step 4. For property-level data, select each property and export its individual financial report.
Step 5. Since Landlord Studio doesn’t export tenant or lease data in a structured format, you’ll enter tenant details when setting up leases in LeaseBase — or upload your actual lease PDFs and let our AI extract the terms.
Step 6. Upload all exported files to LeaseBase.

How LeaseBase Imports Your Data

1. Upload — Drop your CSV, XLSX, or PDF files into LeaseBase. Upload one file or many at once.
2. AI Classifies & Extracts — Our AI identifies each document type (income report, expense report, lease agreement) and extracts every property, unit, tenant, and lease term automatically.
3. Review & Confirm — Smart entity matching resolves address variations and name differences. Green means auto-matched, amber means confirm. Nothing changes until you approve.

What Gets Imported

Properties

Addresses and property details from financial reports

Units

Unit numbers and rent amounts from income data

Tenants

Extracted from uploaded lease PDFs or entered manually

Leases

Terms, dates, and deposits extracted from lease documents

Payment history from Landlord Studio is exported for your records. LeaseBase starts fresh with rent collection — tenants pay through your new LeaseBase tenant portal.

Why Landlords Switch from Landlord Studio

  • More than income and expense tracking. LeaseBase manages the full lifecycle — leases, tenants, maintenance, compliance, rent collection, and vendor payments.
  • No feature gating. CSV export, reporting, and all core features are available on every plan. No PRO upgrade required for basic functionality.
  • Built-in compliance monitoring. California rent caps, deposit limits, and required disclosures for 60+ cities — updated nightly. Landlord Studio doesn’t track compliance.
  • Tenant portal included. Your tenants can pay rent online, submit maintenance requests, and access their lease — free for them, no separate app needed.
