Rent Ledger NowCreate a ledgerA rent ledger explains the history of one account. A rent roll summarizes the current income and occupancy picture across units. They answer different questions, and many landlords use both.
Use a ledger when you need to reconstruct charges and payments, explain a balance, document partial payments, or share the history of a specific rental account. Review the entries against the lease, receipts, and bank records before relying on it.
Use a rent roll to inspect occupancy, lease expirations, contracted rent, concessions, and expected monthly income across a property or portfolio. A rent roll does not replace the transaction-level history in a ledger.
A rent roll can show expected rent while the ledger shows what was actually charged and paid. Differences can come from timing, concessions, credits, partial payments, fees, or stale lease data. Reconcile the source records instead of forcing the totals to agree.
