FAQs

Can Landlord Studio manage student housing?

Plus Icon
Yes. Landlord Studio is built for landlords with a handful of student houses or apartments. Track rent, leases, repairs and expenses for each property, alongside any other rentals you own.

Can each student pay their own share of the rent?

Plus Icon

Yes. Set up each room or tenant separately so every student pays online and, on Pro, gets their own email reminders. You can see who has paid at a glance.

Can I screen parents or guarantors?

Plus Icon

Yes. Send each parent, co-signer or guarantor their own screening invite, then keep their results together with the student's application so you can decide before you sign a lease.

How is student housing priced?

Plus Icon

Set up each room or tenant 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 enterprise student housing software?

Plus Icon
If you own a few student houses and manage them yourself, Landlord Studio covers rent, tenants, repairs and reporting without enterprise minimums or onboarding fees. If you run purpose-built student accommodation with hundreds of beds, an enterprise system may be a better fit.
