Built for Canadian Landlords
Property Management Software Built for Canada
The only AI-powered property management platform built from the ground up for BC's Residential Tenancy Act. Automated leases, AI screening, and 24/7 tenant response — all compliant with Canadian law.
Why US property management software fails Canadian landlords
AppFolio, Buildium, and Propertyware were built for the US market. When Canadian landlords use them, they run into the same four problems — every time.
US platforms use American lease clauses that are unenforceable under BC's Residential Tenancy Act. One wrong clause can void your eviction rights.
Templates built for California or Texas don't include required BC clauses — security deposit limits (half a month's rent), proper notice periods, or mandatory disclosure sections.
BC caps security deposits at half a month's rent. US platforms default to first and last month, which is illegal in BC. Using the wrong deposit rules exposes landlords to RTB complaints.
US-based support teams don't know BC tenancy law. When you have a compliance question, you're on your own — or paying a lawyer.
What makes Propilot different for Canadian landlords
Every feature is designed around BC and Canadian law. Not adapted from a US platform — built here, for here.
BC RTA-compliant leases generated automatically
Propilot generates leases using BC's standard residential tenancy agreement with all required clauses pre-filled. No manual editing, no compliance risk. E-signatures included.
AI tenant screening aligned with BC Human Rights Code
Our AI screens on income, credit, and rental history — never on protected characteristics. Fully compliant with the BC Human Rights Code so you can screen confidently and consistently.
24/7 AI inquiry response — fills vacancies faster
Propilot responds to every rental inquiry instantly, books showings automatically, and delivers pre-qualified applicants to your inbox. Average vacancy fill time: 6 days.
Rent increase tracking with correct BC notice forms
Propilot tracks each tenancy's anniversary date, calculates the allowable rent increase under BC's annual limit, and generates the correct RTB form with proper notice period.
Move-in inspection reports with e-signatures
Generate and send move-in condition inspection reports that meet BC RTA requirements. Both landlord and tenant sign digitally — protecting your deposit rights from day one.

What Canadian landlords say
"I got 10 hours back in the first week. I used to check my phone constantly for leads. Now I just check the weekly digest."
"We filled our last vacancy in record time. The system screened out the tire-kickers automatically. The BC-compliant lease was ready before I even finished my coffee."
"Propilot handles the late night maintenance requests that used to wake me up. And knowing the leases are legally correct for BC gives me real peace of mind."
Frequently asked questions
What is the best property management software for Canadian landlords?
Propilot is the only property management software built from the ground up for Canadian landlords. It includes BC Residential Tenancy Act-compliant leases, Canadian deposit rules, and AI tenant screening aligned with the BC Human Rights Code — all starting at $29/mo.
Is AppFolio available in Canada?
AppFolio is a US-based platform. While it technically works in Canada, it lacks BC RTA-compliant lease templates, correct deposit rules for BC, and support for Canadian-specific regulations. Canadian landlords using AppFolio must manually adapt US templates to meet local legal requirements.
What property management software supports BC RTA compliance?
Propilot is the only property management software with BC Residential Tenancy Act compliance built in. This includes automated lease generation using BC-required clauses, correct security deposit limits (half a month's rent), proper notice periods, and legally compliant rent increase notices.
How much does property management software cost in Canada?
Property management software in Canada ranges from $29/mo (Propilot Starter, up to 5 units) to $89+/mo for US platforms like AppFolio. Traditional property managers charge 8-12% of monthly rent. Propilot's flat-rate pricing saves most BC landlords $1,000-$3,000/year versus alternatives.
Does property management software work for small landlords in Canada?
Yes. Propilot is specifically designed for small landlords managing 1 to 25+ units. The Starter plan at $29/mo covers up to 5 units and includes all core features: AI tenant screening, BC-compliant lease generation, 24/7 inquiry response, and maintenance coordination.
