What small landlords need to track
- Rent — who paid, how much, partial payments and what's late.
- Late fees — applied consistently, after the grace period in your lease.
- Leases and deposits — end dates coming up, deposits held and returned.
- Expenses and repairs — by category, ready for Schedule E.
- Profit per property — so you know which units actually make money.
How RentRoll helps
RentRoll, the VaultlyApps landlord dashboard:
- Rent roll with one row per unit: tenant, expected, received, balance and status (paid, partial, late or vacant).
- 3-tap payments, including partial and multiple payments in one month.
- Automatic late fees — flat or percentage, assessed once after your grace period, waivable with one click.
- Leases and tenants with deposit tracking and countdowns that turn amber 60 days before a lease ends.
- Expenses and maintenance in Schedule E categories, with a repair board for priority, cost and vendor.
- Tax-time reports: a Schedule E summary with IRS line numbers, profit and loss per property, and CSV exports.
Example
A landlord with a duplex and two condos records rent on the 1st; on the 6th, RentRoll flags one unit as late and adds the $50 fee from the lease. At year end, the Schedule E summary is ready for the tax preparer — no shoebox of receipts.
