Rent collection is the heartbeat of your rental business, but informal systems—checks, apps, cash, and memory—make it hard to answer simple questions: who paid, what is held in escrow, and whether late fees were applied consistently. Uncertainty at month-end becomes stress at tax time.
Manor Keeper treats rent and deposits as structured ledger activity per property and tenancy when you record them. Online collection (ACH or card checkout) is not available yet. Payments you log map to the unit; security deposits can stay separated from operating cash in your books.
Automatic late-fee accrual and optional credit-bureau rent reporting are on the roadmap. They are not part of Free or Pro today.
Clear payment history also simplifies owner distributions and partner conversations when multiple people share economics on a building. You see what belongs in reserves, what is available to distribute, and what is still outstanding—without forensic accounting in March.
Manor Keeper does not replace your bank—it organizes the story before and after money moves.
