Quickstart · 5-minute read

Welcome to Leasiv

Leasiv manages your rental portfolio — tenants, leases, statements, payments, and compliance — all from one dashboard. Here's how to get started in 10 minutes.

Step 1 · Set up your company

About 2 minutes

  • Add your company name, logo, and banking details.
  • These appear on every statement and demand letter you send.
  • Your tenants see your branding, not ours.
Open the app

Step 2 · Add your portfolio

About 5 minutes

Two ways to do this. Pick whichever fits.

Excel import

Upload a single spreadsheet with all your properties, units, tenants, and historical transactions.

Tip: fastest path if you have more than 5 tenants.

Manual entry

Add a property, then its units, then a tenant on each unit. A few minutes per unit.

Best for: small portfolios or starting from scratch.

Step 3 · Your dashboard

Read at a glance

Once your portfolio is in, the dashboard shows you four things:

  • Action required — what needs your attention today (overdue tenants, expiring leases, FICA gaps).
  • Financial overview — your money at a glance for the current month.
  • Revenue projection — what you could earn versus what you've collected so far.
  • Per-property breakdown — how each building performs.
