Lease management software with rent that doesn't rewrite history.
Track every lease, rent review and renewal against the tenancy law that actually governs it — with rent that's effective-dated, not a single number that rewrites history when it changes.
Where lease management breaks
Rent-increase notice rules differ by state
NSW, VIC, QLD and every other state set their own notice period, frequency cap and, in some cases, a prescribed form — get it wrong and the increase isn't valid.
A rent change rewrites history
Tools that store rent as a single scalar re-price every past cycle when it changes, reporting phantom arrears on rent that was correctly paid before the increase.
Renewals create a second, disconnected lease
Treating a renewal as a brand-new lease record loses the tenancy's history and complicates everything from bond to rent-review tracking downstream.
How InvestorJoint manages leases
Effective-dated rent
Rent is a schedule of dated periods, not a single scalar — a rent change applies from its effective date forward, so past cycles keep their original, correctly-paid amount and reporting never shows phantom arrears.
Rent reviews with per-state notice rules
Appraisal, owner approval and a compliant statutory notice — built against each state's own notice-period and frequency-cap rules, with a served notice the platform declines to produce where a state (like VIC or WA) mandates its own prescribed form.
Renewals that amend, not duplicate
A renewal amends the existing lease record rather than creating a second one, via either an e-signed extension agreement or a full state agreement re-paper — the lease's history stays intact.
Lease e-signing
Leases, renewals and extension agreements are signed electronically end to end, with a certificate of completion and document-fingerprint evidence behind every signature.
Bond lodgement
Bond lodgement is part of the same leasing workflow as the lease itself, not a separate manual process run in parallel.
Tenant + owner portals
Tenants see their lease, rent history and payments; owners see lease status, rent position and upcoming reviews — both without calling the office to ask.
Expiry + review reminders
Leases approaching their end date and rent reviews coming due are surfaced automatically, so renewal decisions happen with runway instead of after the tenancy has already rolled to periodic.
Who this is for
Property managers running a rent roll of any size, who need rent reviews and renewals to stay compliant across however many states their properties sit in. Self-managing landlords get the same discipline without needing to track notice periods and prescribed forms themselves.
Common questions
What does lease management software actually track?
Every active lease — tenant details, rent and rent history, renewal/end dates, bond, and any rent reviews in progress — plus every state's notice rules for rent increases, so a review or renewal doesn't breach the tenancy law it's governed by.
How does rent review work?
A rent review runs through appraisal, owner approval and a compliant statutory notice, using per-state notice-period and frequency rules (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT all differ). The new rent is effective-dated, so a rent change doesn't rewrite history or create phantom arrears against past rent.
What happens when a lease is renewed?
A renewal amends the existing lease rather than creating a second one — either through an e-signed extension agreement, or a fresh state agreement where a full re-paper is needed — with the new rent applied as a new effective-dated period.
Does it track lease end dates and notify me before they expire?
Yes — leases approaching their end date, and rent reviews due, are surfaced automatically so a renewal decision isn't made after the tenancy has already rolled to periodic.
Can tenants and owners see the lease themselves?
Yes. Tenants have a portal to view their lease, rent history and payments; owners can see lease status, rent position and upcoming reviews for their properties.
Is bond lodgement handled too?
Yes — bond lodgement is part of the same leasing workflow, alongside the lease itself and the ongoing rent-review/renewal cycle.
Who is lease management software actually for?
Property managers running a rent roll of any size, and self-managing landlords who want the same rent-review and renewal discipline an agency would apply, without tracking notice dates in a spreadsheet.
Does a rent review require the tenant's agreement?
No — a compliant rent increase notice, served with the correct notice period on any prescribed form the state requires, is enough. What varies by state is exactly how much notice, how often, and whether a specific form is mandatory.
