Set up your account and first rental

Create your account

Head to the registration page and create your landlord account with your name, email address and a password. A business name is optional: leave it blank and your account uses your own name, which you can change later in company settings. Once you're in, you can add a passkey to sign in without a password.

Once registered, verify your email address and you'll be guided through the onboarding process.

Set up your first rental

After you confirm your email, TenantSee sets up your first rental with you in four short steps. On a larger screen, the panel beside the form shows the rental taking shape as you go.

1. Your portfolio — How many units you manage, so we know which plan to suggest once your free units are used
2. Your property — Its address, a name if you'd like one, and whether it's residential, commercial or mixed-use
3. Its units — A name for each unit and, if you like, its monthly rent. The free Hobby plan covers 3 units
4. Your first tenant — Their name and email. They get an email inviting them to their free tenant portal

Your dashboard then shows a short Finish setting up checklist with anything you skipped, plus your business contact details and two-factor authentication. Hide it whenever you like.

Add your first building

Buildings are the top-level organizational unit in TenantSee. Each building has an address, type (residential, commercial, mixed-use), and can contain multiple units.

If you skipped the property step, or want to add another building, here's how:

1. Navigate to Buildings in the sidebar
2. Click the + button
3. Fill in the building details — name, address, type, and any notes
4. Save your building

Add units

Units represent the individual rental spaces within a building — apartments, offices, suites, etc.

• Navigate to your building's detail page
• Open the Units tab
• Click Add Unit and enter the unit number, floor, size, and monthly rent
• The unit shows as Vacant until a tenant has a lease on it, then as Occupied

Add your first tenant

Once you have a building and unit set up, you can start adding tenants:

1. Go to Tenants in the sidebar
2. Click the + button
3. Enter the tenant's name, email, and phone number
4. Assign them to a building and unit
5. Set their lease start and end dates

TenantSee emails the tenant. If their address has no TenantSee account, one is created for them and they log in with a link in the email. If it already has one, they get an invitation and choose whether to accept. Once they're linked, tenants can send maintenance requests and see their payments and documents. See Add tenants and manage leases for the details.
