Landlord software for the records behind an Ontario tenancy

Ontario says most private residential tenancy agreements signed on or after April 30, 2018 must use the standard lease. The official guide explains the parties, rental unit, term, lawful rent, services, utilities, deposits, smoking rules, insurance, changes, signatures, and rights and responsibilities.

DwellTrack can keep lease terms, parties, documents, signature requests, and status connected. It does not decide whether an exception applies or make a custom document comply with Ontario law.

The Landlord and Tenant Board's guide says an Ontario landlord must provide a receipt for rent, a rent deposit, or another charge when the tenant asks, cannot charge for it, and must also respond to a former tenant's request made within 12 months after the tenancy ends.

DwellTrack records charges and confirmed payments and can generate a rent-receipt PDF from the payment record. The landlord reviews the underlying details before issuing it.

Notices, rent increases, entry, deposits, maintenance duties, termination, eviction, and Landlord and Tenant Board evidence all have Ontario-specific requirements. Use current Ontario and Tribunals Ontario forms and guidance rather than treating a software status or message as legal notice.

DwellTrack supports durable operational records: the rent ledger, tenant/lease context, maintenance evidence, documents, messages, expenses, and activity. It does not generate every LTB form or guarantee that evidence proves a claim.

Ontario regulates the tenancy, while the CRA administers federal income-tax reporting. Keep gross rent, expenses, receipts, and property context throughout the year, then review the current Form T776 instructions or a qualified tax professional.
