Tenant File
Tenant File is paid property management software for landlords, rental property owners, and property managers. It combines online rent collection, maintenance management, and property accounting. Accounting tools include rent posting, separate ledgers, deposit accounting, check writing, bank reconciliation, and reports. Tenant and vendor email, automatic late fees, reminders, a scheduler, and built-in backup are also included. Tenant File Cloud hosts the desktop program on a virtual server and is accessible from anywhere. Plans retain the same features while changing supported rental volume: Tenant File 100 costs $50 a month for 100 rentals, Tenant File 250 costs $100 a month for 101 to 250 rentals, and Tenant File 500 costs $200 a month for 251 to 500 rentals. DirectPAY accepts eCheck, credit card, and recurring payments, posting them automatically. New Cloud users receive a one month free trial and free data upload. Web access is supported, but small handheld screens are not suitable.
