Why AnchorLease

Built for Ontario landlords, not adapted for them

Most small landlords run their rentals with a spreadsheet, the LTB website and a folder of receipts, or with a general landlord app. Here is what changes when the tool already knows Ontario's rules and Canada's tax forms.

Is AnchorLease right for you?

A good fit if

  • You own 1 to 50 rental doors in Ontario
  • You manage them yourself and want each LTB step done right
  • You want receipts ready for your accountant at tax time
  • You'd rather work in English or Chinese

Probably not the right fit if

  • Your rentals are outside Ontario. We cover Ontario rules only, for now
  • You manage more than 50 doors. Tell us, larger plans are coming
  • You want someone to serve notices or speak at the LTB for you. That's a licensed paralegal's job
  • You mainly manage commercial leases

Switching takes one evening

  1. 1

    Add your properties and tenants

    AI lease import reads your current lease, so you confirm details instead of typing them.

  2. 2

    Record this month's rent

    Interac e-Transfers are matched to the right unit, and balances update themselves.

  3. 3

    Keep receipts as they come in

    Snap a photo; it's filed by property and suggested a T776 line for you to confirm.

See it with your own rentals

Start on the free plan with 2 doors. Upgrade only when you need to sign an LTB form or export your T776.
