FAQs

Can Landlord Studio manage room rentals?

Plus Icon
Yes. Add the house as one property and each room as its own unit, then track rent, leases and expenses for every room alongside any other rentals you own.

Can each room have its own lease and rent?

Plus Icon
Yes. Each room is a separate unit with its own tenant, lease, rent amount and payment history, so housemates are never mixed up.

How do I handle shared bills and repairs?

Plus Icon

Record shared costs like utilities, internet and repairs against the whole property, and room-specific costs against the room. Reports show both.

How are room rentals priced?

Plus Icon

Set up each room as its own property or unit. The free Go plan covers up to 3 units and 1 user. Bank feeds, automated email rent and lease expiry reminders and Schedule E reports are on Pro.

Should I use Landlord Studio or co-living software?

Plus Icon

If you rent out rooms in a few houses and manage them yourself, Landlord Studio covers rent, leases, repairs and reporting without enterprise minimums or onboarding fees. If you run a large co-living operation with shared services, dedicated co-living software may be a better fit.
