From maintenance request to tax-ready expense

Here's how a repair moves through Landlord Studio, from your tenant's first report to the cost in your books. In the last year, landlords logged over 15,000 maintenance requests in Landlord Studio. Half of completed jobs were closed within 8 days.

Step 1: Your tenant reports the issue

‍

Tenants submit a maintenance request from the tenant portal or app. It lands in the New column of your maintenance board, and you get an email.

‍

  • Tenant portal or app - tenants log requests from a desktop or their phone
  • Straight to your board - every request appears under New, linked to its building or unit
  • Email alert - you're notified as soon as a request comes in

‍

Step 2: Prioritize and track the job

‍

Set the priority, add notes and photos, and move the job from New to In Progress to Completed as the work gets done.

‍

  • Four priority levels - Low, Medium, High or Urgent
  • Photos and notes - attach up to 5 images and the details your contractor needs
  • Due dates and reminders - get an email before recurring jobs are due

‍

Step 3: Record the cost against the property

‍

When the invoice arrives, log it as a repair expense against the right rental. It flows straight into your income and expense reports, and on Pro into your Schedule E report.

‍

  • Snap the receipt - the Smart Receipt Scanner reads the invoice and fills in the details
  • Or match it from your bank feed - the payment comes in for you to reconcile (Pro)
  • Tax-time ready - repairs show by property in your income and expense reports and, on Pro, your Schedule E report

FAQs

How does Landlord Studio help with property maintenance?

Plus Icon

Landlord Studio keeps every maintenance job in one place, from the first report to the finished repair. Tenants can log issues through the tenant portal or mobile app, so requests come straight to you.

You can then prioritize each job, add photos and notes, link it to the right property, and set reminders for routine checks and repairs. When the work is done, mark the job complete from the app, so you always know what's open and what's finished.

Can tenants submit maintenance requests directly through Landlord Studio?

Plus Icon

Yes. Invite your tenants to the tenant portal and they can submit maintenance requests from a desktop or the tenant app. Each request lands in the New column of your maintenance board and you get an email, so you can set its priority and track it through to completion.

Is maintenance tracking included in the free plan?

Plus Icon

Yes. Maintenance management and tenant maintenance requests are included on every Landlord Studio plan, including the free Go plan, as well as Pro and Pro Plus.

Can I manage maintenance from my phone?

Plus Icon

Yes. In the Landlord Studio mobile app you can create maintenance tasks, review jobs in progress, change priorities and update a job's status from wherever you are. Your tenants can log requests from the tenant app too.

Can I log maintenance for a vacant property?

Plus Icon

Yes. Every maintenance request is linked to a building or unit, and you can log jobs for vacant and occupied properties alike, which is useful for repairs and turnovers between tenancies.

Do I need a separate maintenance app if I use Landlord Studio?

Plus Icon

No. Maintenance sits in the same app as your rent collection, accounting and tenant records, so every job is already tied to the right property and you don't have to keep a second system up to date.
