What changed for owners and tenants

What changed

You can start by uploading or attaching the lease you already have, then confirm the property, tenant, rent, dates, and any future rent increases before saving.

Why it helps

Small landlords do not have to rebuild their rental setup from a blank form just to start tracking renewal timing.

Still out of scope

Importing a lease organizes your records. It does not notify tenants or create a new lease until you choose to start a renewal.

What changed

Renewal review now compares the current lease with the draft terms, including rent, deposit, due day, and multi-year rent schedules.

Why it helps

Owners can catch mistakes before sending a renewal to tenants for signature.

Still out of scope

Rental Manager helps prepare the record and signature flow. It is not legal advice, and owners should review important lease terms before relying on them.

What changed

Print views and downloaded generated lease PDFs include the electronic signature certificate with drawn signature images, typed names, roles, and signing dates.

Why it helps

Signed records are easier to save, print, and share when someone needs the complete lease file later.

Still out of scope

This applies to app-generated leases. Imported lease originals remain available as the uploaded source document.

What changed

Owners can record offline rent received by cash, check, money order, Zelle, Venmo, or bank bill pay, then print simple receipts and reports.

Why it helps

Families who still collect rent outside an app can keep a cleaner record without forcing tenants into online payments.

Still out of scope

Rental Manager records payments. It does not move money, process cards, or provide tax advice.

What changed

Tenants can submit a problem report with location, description, emergency status, mitigation notes, contact phone, permission to enter, and optional evidence files.

Why it helps

Owners get a clearer first report, and tenants have a place to explain urgent steps they took to prevent further damage.

Still out of scope

The app records the report and alerts the owner. It does not dispatch contractors or guarantee reimbursement decisions.

What changed

The app now explains tenant access, owner-controlled sharing, document visibility, and when tenants are notified in plainer language.

Why it helps

Owners and tenants can understand what is recorded and what actions are still waiting on someone else.

Still out of scope

The product is still in early access and focused on Maryland small landlords first.
