LandlordDesk review
Affordable web-based management for Canadian DIY landlords with up to five units.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LandlordDesk is web-based property management software for Canadian landlords and property managers. Its DIY Landlords plan is aimed at owners managing up to five units, combining rent, income and expense tracking with lease management, document storage, tenant communication and maintenance requests. Tenants receive a dedicated portal for messages, maintenance requests and document uploads, while landlords can manage lease expiry, renewal and rent-increase reminders.
Pricing is straightforward for smaller portfolios: the DIY Landlords plan costs 10 CAD per month and includes rent, income and expense tracking, secure document storage, lease and tenant management, and a tenant portal. The product also offers a free first month, while remaining a paid service rather than an ongoing free-plan product. Property Managers is the higher-tier option, adding team roles and permissions, owner statements and reporting, and dedicated onboarding support. Larger portfolios and teams use custom pricing. Receipt and expense scanning, along with owner-ready reporting, gives the product useful depth beyond basic rent logging.
LandlordDesk’s strongest fit is Canadian owners who want a focused web application built around local lease and tax workflows. It records rent paid by e-transfers, cheques and cash, but payment handling centers on tracking those methods rather than verified online rent collection. The web-only format may suit desktop-based administration, though it is less convenient for users seeking a current dedicated mobile app. Limited integrations also make it less suitable for portfolios that depend on a broad connected software ecosystem. Choose it for affordable core management and tenant communication; consider an alternative if mobile access, extensive integrations or online rent collection is central to the workflow.
