Leasework is a ranked renewal worklist for multifamily operators. This page covers getting started, the most common questions, known limitations, and how to contact us.
Getting started
Open the Renewal Worklist. There is no account, no signup, and nothing to install — the tool runs entirely in your browser and on the edge, and your data is never stored.
What you need: a list of your expiring leases with these fields (tab-separated, one lease per line):
- Unit ID — your internal unit identifier (e.g.
101,2B) - Current rent — the monthly rent the resident currently pays
- Proposed rent — the monthly rent you are considering offering
- Term (months) — the length of the new lease term
- Tenure (months) — how long the resident has been in the unit (optional, helps you see context)
- Expiry date — when the current lease ends (optional, helps with timing)
Set your turnover cost (the default is $3,000 — adjust to your actual paint, cleaning, lost days, and leasing commissions), then click "Analyse renewals". The tool returns a ranked worklist with each unit, its break-even arithmetic, and named flags.
The example data pre-loaded in the textarea is a representative set you can use to see how the tool works before entering your own leases.
Frequently asked questions
How does the ranking work?
Every lease is evaluated against a single arithmetic question: if the resident leaves instead of accepting the proposed increase, how many months at the new rent would it take for that increase to pay back the turnover cost? That number is the break-even point. Leases where the break-even exceeds the lease term are flagged as "at risk" and rise to the top of the list — the proposed increase would cost more than a vacancy over the term of the new lease. Leases are ordered by how far the break-even exceeds the term, then by increase percentage, then by tenure. Every rank reproduces the inputs that drove it.
What inputs does the tool use, and what does it not use?
The tool uses only: current rent, proposed rent, lease term, tenure, and the turnover cost you supply. It does not use resident names, payment history, demographics, credit scores, or any data that could act as a proxy for a protected characteristic. The tool is not a prediction about individual resident behaviour — it is an arithmetic comparison of two scenarios (accept the increase vs. turn the unit).
Is this a prediction of whether my resident will renew?
No. Leasework does not predict resident behaviour. There is no machine learning model, no historical renewal data, and no outcome data behind the ranking. The tool computes a simple financial comparison: does the proposed increase pay back the cost of a turnover within the lease term? The result is a transparent arithmetic flag, not a risk score or a likelihood. The output tells you which renewals to prioritise for a conversation, not what the resident will decide.
What happens to my data after I analyse it?
Nothing. Lease data is sent as a JSON POST to a Cloudflare Worker that performs the computation and returns the results to your browser. No database, no persistent storage, no logging of your lease data. The computation is transient — once the tab is closed, there is no server-side record of your leases. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no tracking. See the privacy notice for full detail.
Can I bulk-upload my rent roll or connect to my property management software?
Not yet. Leasework does not integrate with any PMS — no Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, ResMan, or any other system. There is also no file upload or CSV import at this time. The input format is a tab-separated text area. You can copy and paste from a spreadsheet if you export selected columns and format them as tab-separated values.
Does this tool give me advice on what rent to charge?
No. The proposed rent is entirely your input. Leasework does not recommend market rents, calculate optimal increases, or provide fair-housing compliance guidance. It answers one question: given the rent you are considering and your turnover cost, which renewals are arithmetically worth a phone call? All renewal decisions remain yours.
Known limitations
- No PMS integration. Leasework does not connect to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, ResMan, or any other property management system. There is no file-upload or CSV-import feature. Data must be entered or pasted into the textarea.
- No accounts, saved history, or session. Every analysis is an isolated computation. There is no way to save a worklist, return to a previous analysis, or compare two runs side by side. If you refresh the page, the data is gone.
- No predictions or likelihood scores. The tool does not predict whether a specific resident will renew. The ranking is derived from arithmetic, not from a model trained on outcome data.
- No email, alerts, or notifications. Leasework cannot send reminders about upcoming expiries, notify you when a lease becomes at risk, or email you results. The expiry dates shown in the results are informational only — the tool will never reach out to you about them.
- Not a fair-housing compliance tool. Leasework does not audit or ensure compliance with fair-housing laws. The flags and ranks are based on arithmetic only and should not be interpreted as legal or compliance guidance.
- Turnover cost is a single global value. You enter one turnover cost for the entire analysis. If different unit types have materially different turnover costs, run separate analyses for each group.
- No multi-currency support. All values are in US dollars (USD). There is no currency conversion or locale setting.
- No bulk operations. Each analysis is limited to the leases you paste in a single textarea. There is no batch processing, no scheduling, and no API for programmatic access.
