Landlord with 10+ rental units needs portfolio management software to automate rent collection, track expenses per property, manage maintenance requests, and centralize tenant communications away from personal text messages.

TurboTenant works for small landlords (2 doors) but lacks features for portfolio-level management like lease renewal reminders, expense categorization by property, maintenance request dispatch, and dedicated tenant communication channels.
