Rental Property Rent & Expense Tracker
Rental Property Rent & Expense Tracker
Keep rent payments, security deposits, property expenses, and rental cash flow organized in one easy-to-use Excel workbook.
Managing a rental property involves more than simply collecting rent.
The Rental Property Rent & Expense Tracker gives landlords and property owners one organized system for setting up a lease, automatically creating the rent schedule, recording payments, tracking outstanding balances, logging property expenses, and monitoring rental cash flow.
Set Up the Lease Once
Enter the renter and lease information, including:
• Renter name
• Property or unit
• Lease start date
• Lease end date
• Monthly rent
• Security deposit
• Deposit due date
• Rent due day
The workbook uses this information to automatically build the payment schedule.
Automatic Rent Schedule
Once the lease information is entered, the tracker automatically calculates:
✓ Rent due dates
✓ Rental periods
✓ Amount due
✓ Payment balance
✓ Payment status
Simply enter the actual payment date and amount received as rent is collected.
Automatic Prorated Rent
If the renter moves in or out during the middle of a month, the workbook automatically calculates the applicable prorated first or final month's rent based on the lease dates.
No separate prorated-rent calculation is required.
Track Payment Status
Every scheduled payment is automatically classified as:
Paid
Partial
Overdue
Upcoming
This makes it easy to see which payments have been received and what remains outstanding.
Track Security Deposits Separately
The refundable security deposit is tracked separately from rental income.
Monitor:
• Security deposit due
• Deposit amount received
• Outstanding deposit balance
• Payment status
This keeps the deposit from being incorrectly included in the rental property's operating cash flow.
Property Expense Log
Record rental-property costs throughout the lease, including:
• Interest on Equity Loan
• Insurance
• Taxes
• Repairs / Additions
• Other Expenses
• Depreciation
For every expense, record the date, vendor/payee, description, amount, receipt/reference, and notes.
Rental Property Dashboard
Get an at-a-glance financial summary showing:
✓ Scheduled Rent
✓ Security Deposit
✓ Rent Received
✓ Deposit Received
✓ Outstanding Obligations
✓ Property Expenses
✓ Net Cash Flow
See Expenses by Category
The dashboard automatically summarizes your recorded expenses by category so you can quickly see where money is being spent on the property.
Payment Status Summary
See the number of payments currently classified as:
✓ Paid
✓ Partial
✓ Overdue
✓ Upcoming
Net Rental Cash Flow
The dashboard automatically calculates:
Rent Received − Property Expenses = Net Cash Flow
Security deposits are excluded from this calculation because they are tracked separately as refundable funds.
Great For:
Individual landlords • Rental property owners • Small real-estate investors • Owners renting a house, condo, apartment, or other residential unit • Bookkeepers helping rental-property clients
