Why Landlords Choose LeasingTool Over Avail
Three Portals, Not Just One
Avail provides a tenant-facing experience but no dedicated vendor portal. LeasingTool gives landlords, tenants, and vendors each their own purpose-built dashboard.
Real Accounting, Not Just Tracking
Avail tracks income and expenses. LeasingTool uses double-entry accounting with balanced ledger entries, giving you audit-ready books without a separate accounting tool.
Per-Bed Leasing for Student Housing
Avail doesn't support per-bed leasing. LeasingTool lets you create individual leases for each bed space within a shared unit — purpose-built for student and co-living housing.
Guided Lease Creation
Avail uses basic forms for lease setup. LeasingTool walks you through a 6-step wizard covering parties, terms, charges, deposits, and documents — with renewals and move-in/out flows built in.
