How to Fake Landlord Software for Free

Landlord software can be expensive. That is why it is a good idea to take a look at the tools that you already have installed on your computer in order to see if you can use it as your own landlord software before buying a prepackaged suite of landlord software. Follow the steps in this article to learn to use common programs to use a combination of common programs as landlord property management software.

Instructions

1. Use your digital photo album program as landlord software by storing pictures of the tenant's apartment before they move in and after they move out. Walk through the apartment with the tenant before he moves in and take pictures of any damages. Store the pictures in a digital photo album until the tenant moves out, and if then take pictures of any additional damage once the tenant moves out. If there is any new damage, you will have evidence that it happened while the tenant was occupying the property.

2. Use a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Google Docs to document the date and amount of any rental payments that your tenant makes. This piece of your landlord property management software will be important to in case your tenant begins missing rent payments. If you ever need to evict the tenant, you will have exact records of every time the tenant missed paying rent or paid rent late.

3. Use a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs to write notes to your tenants instead of handwriting them. Name all of your files appropriately and save them in a single file so that you will be able to use them again with other tenants. This step may not seem like a big time-saver at first; however, after collecting several years worth of notes, you will find that you'll be able to reuse many of them instead of taking the time to retype each. For example, if a new tenant is late on rent, you will already have a late rent notice ready to use.
