Real estate
Leases, rents, and the long tail of property finance.
Property managers, landlords, body corporates, and real-estate developers running Odoo for lease lifecycle, recurring rent invoicing, maintenance dispatch, trust accounting where regulated, and the long-tail finance the property portfolio runs on.
Processes
What we configure for Real estate.
Configure the standard product first; customise only when standard truly cannot.
-
01
Lease lifecycle
New lease, renewal, variation, termination, with rent reviews, escalations, and the documents the tribunal will ask for.
-
02
Rent invoicing
Recurring rent generation per lease, outgoings billed on the schedule the lease specifies, dunning that respects the legal protections in your jurisdiction.
-
03
Maintenance
Tenant-raised work orders, contractor dispatch, cost capture, and recharge to the right party (landlord, tenant, body corporate) per the lease terms.
-
04
Trust accounting
Regulated trust accounts where required, separate ledgers, audit-ready statements, the segregation regulators demand.
-
05
Body corporate
Levy issuance, common-area maintenance, AGM minutes, voting, and the financial reporting members can read.
Pain, addressed
Where Real estate clients usually start.
-
01 · The pain
Rent reviews are missed, escalations not applied.
Our answer
Lease record with rent-review dates, automatic escalation calculation, tenant notification scheduled. The review happens on time, the escalation lands in the next invoice.
-
02 · The pain
Maintenance recharges to the wrong party, sometimes nobody.
Our answer
Lease specifies who pays for what; the work-order outcome routes the charge to the right party automatically.
-
03 · The pain
Trust account reconciliation is a fortnightly nightmare.
Our answer
Trust account configured as a separate ledger in Odoo, daily reconciliation against bank, audit-ready trust statements per property. Compliant by configuration.
-
04 · The pain
Body corporate levies are issued by spreadsheet and the lots are confused.
Our answer
Lots with entitlement units, levies issued automatically per quarter, statements generated, dunning configured to the regulation.

Frequently asked
Questions about Real estate.
Does Odoo handle trust accounting? +
For regulated trust accounting (real estate trust, lawyer trust, similar regimes), Odoo handles it with care. We configure the chart of accounts, daily-reconciliation process, and trust-statement reporting to your jurisdiction. A dedicated trust system is sometimes still better; we will tell you which on a discovery call.
Can we replace PropertyTree or Console with Odoo? +
Yes for portfolios under 1,000 properties with reasonable workflow complexity. Above that scale the dedicated PMS earns its licence cost; integration is the better path.
How does the tenant portal work? +
Tenant logs in, sees their lease, statements, balance, maintenance requests, and payment history. Portal-raised maintenance request becomes an Odoo work order automatically. Self-service that does not undermine your property manager.
What about inspections and condition reports? +
Configured as Odoo Project tasks with photo attachments and signature capture. Inspection routines scheduled per lease, condition reports generated as PDFs filed against the lease record.
