What It Is

Landlordy is a mobile property management app by E-protect, aimed at private landlords, homeowners, and investors who self-manage small rental portfolios. It is not a traditional web-based SaaS product; instead, it runs as a mobile app on iOS and Android, positioning the phone as a “mobile office” for managing properties, tenants, rent, expenses, receipts, maintenance, and cash-flow reports.

Core Features and Integrations

The feature set is focused on the day-to-day operations of small landlords. Users can record rent payments, check tenant balances and payment history, capture expense receipts with the camera, or import PDFs/images from email, the photo library, and other apps. It also supports managing properties, leases, rents, contacts, photos, and documents, as well as tracking maintenance and safety checks for equipment such as stoves and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, with reminders.

For reporting, Landlordy supports instant cash-flow reports, tenant balance reports, CSV export, and sending PDF/text reports via email, SMS, WhatsApp, or other apps that support share extensions. On the third-party side, the available information explicitly mentions Dropbox for backup/restore, MailChimp for newsletters, HelpScout for support email, and MixPanel and Sentry for anonymous analytics and crash logs.

Pricing and Deployment

Landlordy offers a free version plus three paid tiers: Mini, Plus, and Pro. The free version supports only 1 rental property/unit and 1 lease, limits the number of income and expense records, does not support backup/restore or template personalization, and restricts export/sharing to the current month only. Mini supports up to 2 units; Plus supports up to 10 units, recurring rent invoices/expenses, and PDF/text sharing; Pro supports unlimited properties/units and multiple portfolios.

Specific prices are not listed on the website and must be checked in-app based on region. In terms of deployment, Landlordy supports iOS 16.4+ and Android 10+. It does not offer Web, Windows, or Mac versions.

Data Security, Collaboration, and Limitations

Privacy is one of Landlordy’s standout design points: user and tenant data is stored only locally on the mobile device, and the developer’s servers do not store or process this data. If system backup is enabled, the data may be backed up to iCloud or Google cloud. Dropbox access is limited to the app’s own subdirectory. Anonymous analytics can be opted out of, and EU data centers are used.

However, Landlordy does not disclose enterprise compliance certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and it does not provide team collaboration, role-based permissions, an API, or a developer platform.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

The advantages are that Landlordy is lightweight, clearly optimized for mobile use, and well suited to quickly photographing receipts and recording payments received or expenses paid. Its local-storage model also reduces reliance on a cloud account. The downsides are the significant limits of the free version, opaque pricing, and the lack of a web app, multi-user collaboration, and enterprise integrations. If users fail to back up their data, the vendor cannot recover it after data loss.

Landlordy is best suited to individual landlords, small property investors, and self-managing owners who do not need team workflows. It is not a good fit for large property management companies.

Access from China

The accessibility of the website and app in mainland China, as well as payment availability, could not be determined from the available text and should be considered unknown. Users who need localized invoices, Chinese tax support, domestic payment methods, or multi-user collaboration should also evaluate domestic property/rental management software as alternatives.
