TenantBridge
Features
Built for Ohio landlords managing 1 to 10 properties.
One Subscription. Zero Markups. Ever.
Other landlord apps make money in ways you can't always see. They charge you a base price, then mark up tenant screening, add transaction fees, charge per eviction notice, lock premium features behind upgrade tiers, or take a cut every time rent moves through their system.
Darin's promise:
TenantBridge doesn't work that way. You pay your subscription. We make zero on every other transaction. Every feature listed below is included — not a teaser, not a premium tier, not "coming in our Pro plan." Just included. For everyone. Forever.
Most landlord software was built around the company's preferences. Default settings the company chose. Features that work one way — their way. Premium tiers gating the customization you'd reasonably expect to come standard.
TenantBridge is built around yours. Every feature has settings. Every workflow has options. Every decision about how your rentals run is yours. We give you the tools. You decide how to use them.
Set your own grace periods per property. Choose your late fee structure. Pick when emergency alerts escalate. Decide what your tenant sees and when. Pause during vacancy. Collect rent through Stripe, by check, by Zelle, or however you do it now. Set document visibility. Configure your notice timelines.
That's the design principle behind every feature below.
Property Setup
Add your properties one at a time, or bulk-import from a CSV. Set per-property grace periods, late fee preferences, and ownership type (personal or LLC). Configurable on day one and editable forever.
Tenant Invitations
Send tenant invitations by email. Tenants sign up using a unique link tied to their invitation — no random accounts, no public tenant signup. The right people get access. Everyone else doesn't.
Lease Creation
Set fixed-term leases with start and end dates, or month-to-month tenancies that continue until either party terminates. Lease type can be changed when situations change — fixed-term auto-converts to month-to-month all the time in the real world. TenantBridge handles both.
CSV Bulk Import
Onboarding from another system? Import properties in bulk via CSV. Saves hours if you're switching from spreadsheets or another platform.
Stripe Rent Collection (Optional)
Use Stripe Connect to accept tenant payments directly into your bank account. Rent flows to you, not through TenantBridge. We hold none of it. Stripe processing fees are passed through at cost — we add nothing.
Manual Payment Recording
Most landlords accept cash, checks, Zelle, Venmo, or bank transfers. Record those payments in TenantBridge with payment method, date, amount, and notes. Same accounting flow as Stripe — just landlord-entered. Use Stripe or don't. Use both for different tenants. Your choice.
Auto-Generated Monthly Rent Charges
Rent charges auto-generate eight days before the due date. Each charge is labeled with the month and year. No more manually creating twelve charges per year per tenant. Override per month when you need to — discount a month, change an amount, add a note. Pause auto-charging during vacancy.
Late Fee Automation
Set your grace period. Set your late fee amount or percentage. The system applies the fee automatically after grace expires. You can disable it per tenant if you're working with someone going through a hard time. Configurable per property.
Partial Payment Tracking
Tenant pays $800 of $1,000 rent. TenantBridge tracks the partial payment, updates the balance, applies remaining amount to next payment received. No spreadsheet math.
Itemized Tenant Statements
Tenants see their outstanding balance broken down by charge — rent, late fees, pet rent, any one-time charges. Each line includes your description of what it's for. No guessing, no questions, fewer "what's this charge?" conversations.
Free Eviction Form Generation
Emergency Alert System
Tenants press a button. The system triggers a Twilio phone call to you for true emergencies — water leaks, no heat, locked out, gas smell. You're notified immediately, not when you happen to check the app.
Maintenance Request Tracking
Non-emergency requests come through the same channel without the phone call escalation. Every request is logged with timestamp, severity, photos, and notes. Audit trail for both landlord and tenant. No more "did you tell me about that?" disputes.
You Define What's an Emergency
The default emergency categories follow common sense, but you control what triggers a call versus what waits until business hours. A "broken garbage disposal" might be an inconvenience or an emergency depending on your tolerance. You set the rules.
Expense Capture at Closure
When you mark a maintenance request closed, the system asks if there were expenses. Add vendor invoices, contractor payments, parts costs — multiple expenses for one fix if needed. Receipt photos optional but encouraged. The expense flows directly to your books, no double-entry required.
Expense Tracking
Every business expense, categorized to match IRS rental property categories. Repairs, maintenance, insurance, utilities, supplies, professional services — all tracked, all ready for tax time.
Receipt Scanner
Snap a photo of any receipt. The system reads the vendor, amount, and date. Verify, categorize, save. The receipt photo is stored with the transaction. When the IRS asks for substantiation years from now, the receipt is right there.
Mileage Tracker
Track miles driven for property visits, repairs, supply runs. Standard IRS mileage rate applied automatically. Generates an annual mileage log for your Schedule E.
QuickBooks Export
Export your transactions — both income and expenses — in QuickBooks-ready format. Categorized correctly, dated correctly, ready to import. Your CPA gets clean data. You don't manually re-enter anything.
Annual Property Report
Every January, you get a complete report covering the previous tax year. Page one summarizes total income, total expenses by category, and net profit/loss across your entire portfolio. Following pages break down each property individually — tenant history, income, expenses, maintenance costs, and capital improvements. Delivered automatically. Ready to hand to your CPA or use yourself.
EOL Appliance Tracker
Track install dates and expected lifespans for water heaters, HVAC systems, roofs, major appliances. The system shows you what's aging and what's near end-of-life. Plan replacements before they fail.
Ohio Legal Hub
Eleven topics covering the legal areas Ohio landlords actually deal with: eviction timelines, security deposits, squatter rights, LLC requirements, fair housing, source-of-income discrimination, lease attachments, and more.
Each topic is broken down the same way:
- What Ohio law says, in plain language
- What it means for you as a landlord
- How TenantBridge helps you stay compliant
Attorney-reviewed. Updated when Ohio law changes — like the Civ.R. 10(D) lease attachment requirement that took effect in 2024, or shifts in HUD's ESA framework. No other landlord app has this. Generic state-agnostic platforms can't write it. We can, because we built TenantBridge for Ohio.
Property Ownership Type Configuration
Configure each property as personal-name or LLC. Ohio law treats LLC eviction differently — landlords cannot self-represent the LLC in court. TenantBridge knows this and routes accordingly. Personal-name properties get DIY filing packets. LLC properties get attorney connection options.
Ohio Eviction Form Generation
Form auto-population from your existing tenancy data. County-specific filing instructions. Mandatory review screen before generation. Disclaimer language built in. We generate forms — we don't give legal advice. The legal counsel comes from your attorney (or one of our partner attorneys for LLC routing).
Document Storage
Lease documents, inspection photos, communications, signed addenda, anything else. Stored per-tenancy, organized, searchable. Photos and PDFs both work. Tenants see what you choose to share with them; the rest stays private to you.
Multi-Property Support
Manage up to 10 properties per landlord account from one dashboard. Properties can be single-unit homes, duplexes, or small multi-units. Configured per-property, displayed by property in every view.
Move Tenant Between Properties
Tenant signing a lease at a different property you own? Move them between properties without losing their history. Old tenancy ends cleanly. New tenancy starts. All records preserved for both.
End Tenancy with Reason Tracking
When a tenancy ends, capture the reason — moved out, evicted, lease ended, mutual termination. Add notes for context. The historical record stays intact for reference.
Tenancy History
Browse every past tenant across every property. Filter by property, date range, or name. See lease type, dates, end reason, monthly rent at the time, and any notes. When you need to remember who lived where, when, and what happened — it's there.
Pause Button
Property vacant? Pause it. No subscription pause confusion — just pause that property's automation. No charges generate. No late fees trigger. When you fill it, unpause.
Members-Only Ohio Landlord Forum
