EasyLeasey landlord onboarding path
Use this as a simple first-week setup plan. You do not have to do everything in one sitting.
Create your operating structure
Start by setting up your landlord or company profile, then organize your portfolio by property and unit so every tenant, lease, document, task, and transaction has a clear home.
Add properties and units
Enter each rental property, then add the units connected to it. This gives you cleaner reporting, easier maintenance tracking, and better visibility as your portfolio grows.
Add tenants and lease details
Create tenant records, connect each tenant to the right unit, and record lease dates, rent amounts, deposits, and renewal reminders.
Upload important documents
Keep leases, notices, receipts, vendor invoices, insurance files, and property documents connected to the right property or unit instead of scattered across folders and inboxes.
Set up maintenance workflows
Track requests, repairs, vendor notes, priorities, and follow-ups in one place so maintenance does not disappear into text messages or sticky notes.
Start tracking financial activity
Record income and expenses, upload statements when needed, categorize transactions, and build stronger monthly habits for rent, repairs, utilities, and owner visibility.
Invite tenants when ready
Use the tenant portal when you want tenants to access their side of the workflow, submit requests, view account information, or communicate more cleanly.
Review your dashboard weekly
Use the dashboard and task areas as your operating command center for leases, maintenance, payments, documents, reminders, and portfolio health.
