Zenant runs applications, leases, rent collection, maintenance, and tenant operations for portfolios of 80+ units on one streamlined platform, with a rollout approach designed to reduce migration risk.
Most operators stay on software they dislike because the switch feels bigger than the problem. Zenant is set up so you can test it on a slice of the portfolio, with your current system still running.
The hesitation is rarely about features. It is about what a rip-and-replace does to a team in the middle of a leasing season.
The same product our self-serve customers run today, from the first application to the monthly deposit.
A shareable application link for every unit. Applicants fill it in from their phone: contact details, self-reported income, references, and documents. Everything lands in one Applications inbox for your team to review. Zenant does not run credit or background checks.
Optional bank-linked income verification through Plaid. Applicants connect their bank and the application shows income as verified, so your team reviews bank data instead of chasing pay stubs.
Tenants set up autopay once and pay by bank transfer (ACH) or card. Zenant sends the reminders, tracks every charge on the Payments page, flags anything late, and exports the month to CSV.
Upload your lease, fill in the terms, and send it for e-signature. Signed documents are stored and shared with the tenant. Advanced billing terms cover rent schedules, CAM, and other recurring charges when a lease needs them.
Residents submit requests with photos from the portal and they land in one Maintenance inbox. Vendors can be given their own login that sees maintenance requests only, and nothing about rent, leases, or tenants.
Residents pay rent, see their balance and lease, submit maintenance requests, and get messages from your team, all from their phone.
Also included: team logins with Co-Landlord, Property Manager and Vendor roles, an activity log, bulk and one-to-one tenant messaging, and an accounting workspace with a ledger, expenses, P&L and CSV exports.

Work directly with Zenant to map the rollout and move at a pace that fits your portfolio. Onboarding is hands-on: we work through it with your team in stages, and your existing system stays in place until you decide to move more of the portfolio.
What you manage, what system you are coming from, and which workflows hurt most: leasing, collections, maintenance, or reporting.
Pick a property or a slice of the portfolio with real turnover, real rent, and real requests. Agree up front on what a successful pilot looks like.
We set up the property, units, leases and tenants with you, invite residents to the portal, and train the people who will use it. Zenant does not have a self-serve bulk importer today, so this setup is done together rather than handed off.
Collect a rent cycle, sign a lease, work a maintenance request. The pilot runs on live operations while your current system keeps covering the rest of the portfolio.
Once rent, leases and maintenance run cleanly on the pilot, add the next properties on a schedule you control.
Nothing changes when you grow. The pilot property and the fiftieth run on the same workflows, the same team logins, and the same reports.
Tenants, leases, payments and accounting can each be filtered to a single property or viewed across the portfolio, so a site manager and an owner look at the same data at different zoom levels.
Invite your team with Co-Landlord, Property Manager and Vendor roles. Vendors see maintenance only. An activity log in Settings records who changed what.
A ledger, expenses and a P&L by property or entity, with CSV exports and a one-click accountant package for any date range.
Below 80 units the self-serve plans cover this without a sales call. Above it, we agree billing with you directly before the pilot starts. See pricing.
Piloting only works if leaving is also straightforward. Here is what you can take with you today, stated plainly.
The Accounting page exports your ledger for any date range and packages every accounting report into a single accountant package. The Payments page exports each month's charges to CSV.
Signed leases and application documents can be downloaded from the app at any time. Nothing is held in a format only Zenant can read.
Self-serve plans are billed monthly or annually and cancel any time from Settings. There is no setup fee at any size. For a larger portfolio we agree billing with you directly before the pilot starts.
Tenant, lease and property lists do not have a one-click export yet. If that matters for your evaluation, raise it in the first conversation and we will plan for it.
Teams that want simpler day-to-day operations and would rather prove a system on one property than bet the whole portfolio on it.
Tell us what you manage today, what system you are coming from, and where the biggest operational pain is.
