Which is better, Tenant Office or Rent Manager?
It depends on scale and scope. Rent Manager is a deep, long-established suite spanning residential, commercial, and associations, and if you depend on that breadth it is hard to leave. Tenant Office concentrates on operations control: evidence-enforced closeout, an immutable ledger, and a ranked attention queue. If those controls are your buying reason, the WAPI12 export keeps the move practical; if you need Rent Manager-wide coverage, keep it and run Tenant Office for the control layer.

How to get your data out of Rent Manager
Use the documented WAPI12 REST API for a scoped pull, or ask about Open Access read-only SQL views when a large portfolio needs a broader extract. Preserve pagination, filters, response counts, and the source identifiers.
Rent Manager documents its WAPI12 REST API for tenants, properties, leases, work orders, and accounting, and describes Open Access read-only SQL views for larger extracts. Source: Rent Manager documentation (read 2026-10-18)
The Tenant Office path
- Agree the records, dates, counts, and financial scope.
- Keep raw exports immutable and transform a copy with source identifiers.
- Preview, reconcile counts and exceptions, then apply the matching generic importer with assisted review.
Questions about switching
What is the Rent Manager migration path?
Extract through the WAPI12 API or an approved Open Access view, transform the source records, and use Tenant Office generic importers with assisted review. The page does not promise a native Rent Manager connector.
Can I use Open Access for a Rent Manager export?
Rent Manager documents Open Access as read-only SQL views. Confirm access, scope, and handling with Rent Manager before using it for a migration extract.
