Property management
Tell Daybook you manage rental buildings and the whole app changes — its words, its screens, and what it asks you for. Buildings and units, leases and the rent roll, repairs that become work orders, and an owner statement every month that adds up.
Not a heading swapped on a brochure. These are the words on the buttons, the menus and the search box, on the day your account is made.
And the parts that belong to a contractor are not hidden, they are switched off: the visualizer, mood boards, the product catalogue and the website portfolio. Nobody on your staff ever walks past a screen that belongs to somebody else’s trade.
On top of everything Daybook does for every business — the full list is here — a property manager gets their own.
A building with its units, the owner it belongs to and the renter on each lease. A house with no units counts as one. Owners and renters sit on your client list as tenants and owners — not as customers with a note.
A lease with its term, its rent and the deposit held. The rent roll is one row per unit — who is on the lease running today and where this month’s rent stands — under four figures that add up from the rows below them. The PDF is rendered from the same numbers as the screen.
A unit is occupied when a lease is running on it today — not because somebody was once linked to it. Rounded down: 199 of 200 is 99%, never a claimed 100%.
A renter reports it from the portal, with photos. It lands as the owner’s work order with the renter as the person on site, shows how urgent it is on the pipeline row, and is approved by you within the owner’s limit — or put in front of the owner above it.
Dispatch to your own staff, or send it to a trade through a portal link. The trade’s invoice lands on the work order, and the owner is billed from it.
Room by room, a condition on every item, photos taken on a phone even offline, and both signatures. Completing it emails the report to the renter — it is the record a deposit rests on.
The plumber and the electrician you always call, with their liability insurance, workers’ comp and licence dates on file. An expired certificate blocks a dispatch before the work, never after. One that is running out goes on a chase list — with a message you read before it goes.
Several quotes on one repair read as a range, never a sum. Add your percentage on top, tick the ones the owner should see, and print one document that sets them out.
One month, one owner: the rent that came in on their buildings, less your management fee, less what you billed them, and what is left to pay them. A bill never comes off twice.
A property manager holds other people’s rent, and that is not the same as taking a payment. Daybook treats it that way: rent is never counted as your sales or your cash collected, and the fee you take out of it is the one line on a statement that is your own income.
Not a contractor’s site with the nouns changed. Yours opens on two doors — I own a property and I’m looking to rent — and carries a vacancy list, a fee calculator, a sample statement and a place to report a repair. You edit it inside the app; your own words and photographs go in when you add them.
Property management has its own rate card. Every plan is the same app; the plans are how many units you look after. Landlord $129 / Portfolio $249 / Enterprise $449 a month CAD, priced on units. Admin seats included on every plan. Maintenance crews are free and unlimited on every plan. Enterprise adds your own domain and selling online.
Your own units, your own owners and your own repairs beat any feature list. Start the trial and set the first building up in it.
