For small landlords
Rent in, repairs out, and a year already built.
Say it when the rent lands and when the plumber is paid. Nothing to reconstruct when your accountant asks.
Rent from a few tenants, repairs paid ad hoc from whichever card is nearest, and a tax year rebuilt from bank statements every spring.
Three messages, and the ledger they write
These are messages you could send today. Underneath each one is exactly what LedgerChat posts — the real accounts, the real directions. Every entry has two sides, and both sides balance.

Questions small landlords ask
- Can I keep properties apart?
- Record each tenant by name and the balances stay separate. For a fuller split, both-mode gives you two sets of books under one number.
- Is this enough for my tax return?
- It keeps the records your return is built from, dated and categorised. It does not file anything, and never claims to.
- What if a tenant is behind?
- Their balance says so, by name, the moment you ask — which is rather the point.
