Active Tenants vs Properties: A Fairer Way to Price Landlord Software

Most landlord software charges per property. But a landlord with five properties might have two active tenants and three vacant units.

Why active tenants make more sense

An active tenant is someone currently linked to a live lease. That is the actual unit of work: tracking rent, sending reminders, managing payments.

Properties without tenants create no overhead

A vacant property requires no rent tracking, no reminders, no payment records. Charging for it does not reflect the actual cost to the platform.

A clearer model for landlords

PropLedger prices based on active tenants. You can have unlimited properties — you only pay for the tenants actively generating rent obligations.
