How it works
From setup to the first landlord statement
How an agency or a landlord starts on Estate Ledger, in the order most will take it.
-
Open your account
Sign up with your email and the name of your agency or property. An Estate Ledger account keeps the rental books and nothing else, and starts on a free trial.
-
Choose agency or own property
An agency manages for landlords, with commission, payouts and statements; a landlord managing their own property has none of those. Set the currency, the billing defaults and the payment instructions tenants will see.
-
Add your properties and tenants
Add landlords, properties and units by hand, or import them with your tenants, leases and balances from CSV. Give your staff their sign-ins and assign caretakers to their buildings.
-
Take the first payment
Bills are raised ahead of each period. Record a payment at the office or from a caretaker’s phone, and share the receipt on WhatsApp.
- On a computer, at the office.
- In a phone’s browser, in the field, with the same account and a connection.
-
Send the first statement
At the end of the month, chase the arrears, pay each landlord and send their statement as a PDF.
One web portal, on any screen
Staff use the web portal in the browser of a computer or of any phone, Android or iPhone, with a connection. On the paid plans, tenants and landlords sign in to their own portal the same way.
