UnitLedgerDocumentation

Property finance & community management — installation, licensing, and day-to-day usage for the whole app.

Install in minutes

A browser-based setup wizard checks requirements, configures your database, verifies your license, and creates your first organization — no command line required.

A real financial core

Charge types, recurring charges, billing runs, invoices, payments, an append-only ledger, advance credits, refunds, and collections — not just a CRUD apartment tracker.

A self-service portal

Give owners and residents their own login to view their ledger, pay online (manual methods), submit maintenance requests, and read announcements.

What is UnitLedger?

UnitLedger is a self-hosted platform for managing properties, buildings, units, owners, residents, billing, payments, expenses, maintenance, and resident communication — built for property managers, building owners, and management companies who need a real billing/collections engine, not a spreadsheet with a login page.

This site covers everything a buyer needs after downloading UnitLedger:

Installation — server requirements, the step-by-step install wizard, license activation, and the queue/scheduler setup the app depends on.
Getting Started — your first login, how roles and permissions work, and the organization/license settings every admin should know about.
Guide — one page per module: properties, owners, residents, billing, payments, the ledger, collections, expenses, maintenance, documents, announcements, and the audit log.
Resident & Owner Portal — what the people you manage see when you give them a login.
Administration — backups, upgrading, and security notes for whoever runs the server.
Reference and the FAQ — a route map, a glossary of terms, and quick answers to common questions.
