01Add your first unit

Start with an address. That's it.

From the dashboard, click + Add unit. The only required field is the address — everything else is optional and exists for your own clarity later.

  • Nickname — what you'll see on the dashboard. Leave blank to use the address.
  • Unit number — for multi-unit buildings. Leave blank for single-family homes.
  • Beds / baths / notes — purely for your own reference.
Tip Use the nickname for the way you actually talk about the unit — "Queen St basement", "Mom's old place". Future-you will thank present-you.

02Add a lease

One lease, a full timeline.

Open the unit you just made and click + Add lease. Enter the tenant name, the start and end dates, and the monthly rent. Email is optional.

The moment you save, UnitPilot creates a Lease ending event on the end date. That's your first scheduled checkpoint — and the one that drives the dashboard's Ending soon count.

What gets created automatically A Lease ending event on the lease end date. You'll add other events (inspections, notices, move-out) yourself in Step 3 — UnitPilot keeps the auto-magic to one event so nothing surprises you.

03Log events as life happens

Pick a chip, or type your own.

Back on the unit page, open a lease and click + Log event. The most common kinds are one-tap chips — pick one, or just type your own.

  • Lease ending — already on the timeline from Step 2.
  • Rent increase notice — for Ontario, this is the 90-day notice (Form N1) before the lease anniversary.
  • Move-out notice deadline — when you need a decision from the tenant.
  • Move-out and Inspection — the final walkthrough and the day itself.

Any event with a date in the past is created already checked off — handy for backfilling history.

04Check things off

One list. One glance. One tap.

Every open event from every unit lands on your dashboard's Upcoming list — earliest first, overdue at the top. Tap the circle on the left to mark it done.

That's the whole loop. Open the dashboard with your morning coffee, look at the list, do one or two things, close the tab. No notifications, no urgency theater.

What's coming next Quiet email reminders for upcoming events are on the roadmap — see Phase 02.

06Ontario tips

Built around actual Ontario rules.

UnitPilot's defaults map to the way Ontario tenancies actually work — no imported US assumptions.

Rent increase

90-day notice, Form N1

Ontario requires 90 days' written notice before a rent increase, and only one increase per 12 months. Log a Rent increase notice event 90 days before the lease anniversary and you'll never miss the window.

Deposits

LMR, not security deposit

Ontario doesn't allow security deposits — only Last Month's Rent (LMR). UnitPilot doesn't track deposit returns because there's nothing to return. Use the lease Notes field for LMR amounts if you want a record.

Move-out

Walkthrough & key handover

The terminology on the chip presets — Move-out walkthrough, Final walkthrough, Key handover — matches what tribunals and tenants expect to hear. Use the same words in your messages.

Rent increase guideline

Stay within the cap

The annual rent increase guideline is published by the province each year (typically 1.5–2.5%). UnitPilot doesn't enforce it, but the date-based reminders make it easy to time the notice correctly.

07FAQ

Things people ask before signing up.

Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. The demo logs you into a sample landlord's account with four units already wired up. It's read-only — click around, see the dashboard, the unit detail page, the timeline. When you're done, hit Exit demo.

Is it free?

Free for one unit, forever. No credit card. If you manage more, support is framed as a tip on Buy Me a Coffee rather than a subscription — the project is built by one landlord, for landlords.

Does UnitPilot collect rent?

No. UnitPilot is intentionally a turnover tracker, not a property management suite. Rent collection, accounting, and tenant screening live elsewhere — UnitPilot's job is just to make sure nothing falls through the cracks at lease endings.

Will my tenant see anything?

Not today. Everything is private to you. A lightweight tenant-facing surface (shareable move-out checklists, date confirmation) is on the roadmap for a later phase.

Do I have to be in Canada?

Today, the defaults assume Ontario rules. The product still works elsewhere — none of the chip presets are locked — but US-specific quirks like security deposit timelines aren't built in yet. Wider US support is on the roadmap.

How do I export my data?

Data export is on the short list. In the meantime, every unit and lease has a clean detail view that prints reasonably to PDF from the browser.
