Property software for Australian operators
A room is a tenancy. Twelve rooms in one building is twelve leases, twelve rent schedules, twelve rent streams and twelve people to talk to. LeaseDock counts it that way, because that is how the work arrives.
No credit card. Bring your spreadsheet, run LeaseDock beside your current system for 30 days, and nothing reaches a renter until you turn pilot mode off.

Rooms are first class
One building, many rooms, each with its own lease, rent and renter.
Pilot mode
Run your whole portfolio in parallel. Nothing reaches a renter until you say so.
Isolated in the database
A renter sees their own tenancy and nothing else, enforced below the app.
Your records stay yours
Full export of everything, and it keeps working after you cancel.
Agency software is built around a rent roll. Owner statements, disbursements and a trust account, for properties somebody else owns. If you own or head-lease your own stock there are no owners to report to and no trust account to reconcile.
What you have instead is occupancy, turnover, arrears, maintenance and a great deal of messages. And a system that counts properties, so a twelve room building counts as one, which is the wrong number for almost every decision you make.
LeaseDock does not do trust accounting, deliberately. That is what lets it be shaped around the way you actually run.
Anyone whose unit of work is the tenancy rather than the address.

Self-managing landlords are welcome too. The logic is the same and it is cheap at that size.
Migration is the reason people stay on property software they dislike. It is the part we automated, and there is no charge for it at any size.
LeaseDock reads a real, messy, hand-maintained sheet and builds the portfolio out of it: properties, the rooms inside them, renters, leases and rent schedules. Headers halfway down the page, rent written as "$350 pw", one row per room. You check what it found before anything is saved.
Pilot mode holds everything back. Agreements are not sent for signature, portal invitations are not emailed, arrears reminders do not go out, and every document produced is stamped as a test. Nothing reaches a renter until you turn it off.
Thirty days free and no card to start. No setup fee, no onboarding fee and no migration charge, at any size. Charging you to move in would quietly tell you the automation does not work.
Your full export is there from the first day: properties, rooms, renters, tenancies, rent schedule, invoices, payments, expenses, maintenance and compliance, as a spreadsheet with links to your documents. It keeps working after you cancel.
Each tenancy gets its own rent schedule, built from its own lease. Turn on automatic invoicing and each period is raised and issued a week before it falls due, then arrears reminders go out on their own from there, following the notice ladder your state actually allows.
Invoices
Vantage reads your portfolio and the market together: live CPI, interest rates and state legislation. Ask it anything, or have it draft the arrears letter and review notice for you. Included on every account.
Vantage
Renters get their own portal for rent, maintenance requests, condition reports and messages, under your logo rather than ours. What they can see is enforced in the database, so a mistake in a screen or an API route cannot show them somebody else's tenancy.
Owner statement · Financial year
Retire the spreadsheet, the shared drive and the reminder app. Every module is on every account.
A property holds its rooms. Each room carries its own lease, rent, renter, repairs and inspections.
State-correct tenancy agreements signed online, and entry and exit reports that compare against each other.
Apply CPI or fixed increases and roll them through every future rent period in one step, with the right notice for the state.
Bond lodgement, safety checks and minimum standards, with the deadline each state actually sets, per tenancy.
A per-property ledger and a financial year summary your accountant will actually thank you for.
A direct thread with every renter, and repairs tracked from request through to cost and completion.
$29 a month includes 10 active tenancies. After that it is $1.50 each. Empty rooms are free, so when a room sits vacant you stop paying for it.

No, and that is deliberate. Trust accounting exists to hold money on behalf of property owners, and it carries the heaviest licensing and audit burden in this category. If you own or head-lease your own stock you have no owners to hold money for. Skipping it is what lets LeaseDock be shaped around occupancy and turnover instead of around a rent roll. If you manage property for third-party owners, LeaseDock is the wrong tool and you should use an agency platform.
A tenancy counts in a billing month if it has a current lease with a rent schedule attached. Vacant units do not count. You can see the number LeaseDock is counting in Settings at any time, and it is the same number the invoice uses.
Your bill drops with it. The count is taken each month, and a room with no current tenancy is not counted. This is the part a system that bills per property cannot match, because to it an empty room and a full one look identical.
Export what you have, or use the master spreadsheet you are almost certainly already keeping alongside it. LeaseDock reads it and builds the portfolio. Then run it in parallel under pilot mode for as long as you like before anything reaches a renter.
Excel (.xlsx and .xls) and CSV. The sheet does not need tidying first. Headers partway down the page, several sheets in one workbook, merged headings, one row per room, rent written as "$350 pw", and totals mixed in with the data are all expected. You review what was found before anything is saved, and anything ambiguous is flagged rather than guessed.
No. Not at any size, and not for migration. Legacy agency platforms charge close to a thousand dollars to onboard because onboarding them is genuinely painful. Charging you for something we automated would tell you the automation does not work.
You export it, and the export keeps working after you cancel. It covers properties, rooms, renters, tenancies, the rent schedule, invoices, payments, expenses, maintenance and compliance, as a spreadsheet with links to your stored documents. This is written into the terms, not just the marketing.
Yes. Bond lodgement deadlines, rent increase notice periods and frequency limits, minimum standards and prescribed agreement forms differ by state, and LeaseDock holds the rule for the state each property is in rather than one national approximation. It is a tool for keeping track of your obligations, not legal advice.
Yes. Every tenancy has its own thread, with unread tracking, alongside maintenance requests and condition report responses. Renter-facing email carries your logo and your name, not ours.
No. Add as many staff as you need. Charging per seat would penalise you for giving your team access, and these businesses have few staff relative to tenancies anyway.
Upload the sheet you already keep, watch your portfolio appear, and run it in parallel until you are sure. Nothing reaches a renter until you say so.
