Why should I switch from Excel to TenantsFlo for rent tracking?

Excel requires manual updates for every rent payment and cannot send automated payment reminders or generate deposit deduction receipts. TenantsFlo automates rent collection, deposit tracking, and building P&L reports natively in Rupees.

Can I import my existing Excel tenant data into TenantsFlo?

Yes! TenantsFlo allows quick bulk onboarding of units, tenants, and lease start dates in under 5 minutes.
