Rent paid for November.
Tenants pay what Stripe actually charges, plus a flat $0.50 platform fee. No hidden percentage spread. The lowest credit card rent fee in Canadian property management software.
Tenants pay rent plus Stripe's actual 2.9% + $0.30 plus a flat $0.50 from Keylane. You receive the full rent in your own Stripe-connected bank account. On Starter you can absorb the fees instead so your tenants see $0 surcharge.
Forward your bank's Interac notification emails to Keylane once. Every future e-Transfer auto-matches to the right rent payment by reference code and amount. Anything we cannot match lands in an unmatched queue you clear with one click.
Cash, cheque, EFT, or any other method. Click Mark as paid on a rent row, pick the method, drop a reference number. Status flips immediately and the tenant sees it in their portal.

Keylane automates everything you do every week for each property.
Three rails, one ledger. The whole rent collection workflow runs in Keylane.
Move-in to move-out, repairs to renewals, with every photo and signature in one place.
Communication, documents, listings, and lease workflow that tenants actually open on their phones.
A floating sparkle button on every page opens a chat that knows your role, the page you are on, and what your account can do. Ask anything: how a feature works, where to find a setting, what to do next.
We do our homework on the rest of the market every few weeks. Here is the surface-by-surface honest comparison.

Create your free landlord account, add a property, add a unit. Five minutes, no credit card. You can run unlimited units on the free tier forever.
Drop the tenant's email into the invite form. They get a link, set a password, sign the lease in the app. Their portal opens to a clean home screen with their next rent payment and your messages.
Rent flows in by card or Interac, maintenance gets tracked with photos, contractors get hired with a PDF purchase order, leases auto-renew on schedule. You stay in one tab.
Everything below is in active development. We are honest about timelines and update this list every session.
Rent reminders, maintenance updates, and lease renewal nudges sent by SMS, with CASL-compliant STOP handling. Per-org from-number on a voip.ms DID; tenant opt-in stored.
Equifax-backed credit and identity report inside the invite flow with PIPEDA-compliant consent capture. Partner pricing on Starter and Pro.
Per-tenant opt-in. Every on-time rent payment helps them build credit history. Free to enable; partner negotiation in progress.
Full French translation plus Quebec TAL forms. The durable moat: no other Canadian small-landlord platform ships bilingual.
Unlimited units at every tier. CC processing is pass-through (we don't markup Stripe). Starter pays for itself in one absorbed card fee or one discounted tenant screening; Pro is for multi-portfolio operators who want their books, branding, and APIs in one place.
