Commercial Rental Tracker Plus — Streamline Property & Tenant TrackingRunning commercial properties brings a unique set of challenges: multiple tenants with complex lease terms, frequent rent escalations, maintenance coordination across different spaces, and the constant need for accurate financial reporting. Commercial Rental Tracker Plus is designed to simplify these tasks by centralizing lease data, automating routine processes, and providing insights that help property managers and owners make smarter decisions.
Why commercial property management needs a focused tracker
Commercial leases are typically longer and more complex than residential agreements. They often include clauses for percentage rent, Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges, tenant improvement allowances, options to renew, and variable escalation schedules. Manually tracking these elements across dozens of properties leads to errors, missed deadlines, and revenue leakage.
Commercial Rental Tracker Plus addresses this complexity by offering a single source of truth for lease and tenant information, ensuring key dates and financial terms are visible and actionable.
Core features that streamline property and tenant tracking

Store every lease document, amendment, and tenant communication in one secure place. Quick search and filter capabilities let you find lease terms or tenant details in seconds. -
Automated rent schedules and escalation handling
Create rent schedules with built-in escalation models (fixed %, CPI-linked, step increases) and have the system auto-generate invoices or reminders for each billing period. -
CAM and expense allocation
Calculate, prorate, and bill Common Area Maintenance and other shared expenses with transparent audit trails — helpful for both accounting and tenant disputes. -
Critical date alerts and workflows
Automatic notifications for renewals, expirations, rent review deadlines, insurance renewals, and inspection windows reduce the risk of missed actions. -
Tenant and space performance dashboards
Visualize occupancy rates, tenant-level revenue, arrears aging, and space utilization to spot underperforming assets or opportunities to re-lease at higher rates. -
