LapseHawk property management dashboard: occupancy, leases ending soon, open work orders, rent overdue and vendor COIs (sample data)

The problem

The dates you miss are the ones that cost you.

Leases, rent, repairs and vendor insurance usually live in different spreadsheets, inboxes and calendars.

Leases that roll over unnoticed

A lease ends, nobody sent the renewal, and the unit drifts to month-to-month or sits empty.

Vendors on site without insurance

The plumber's COI expired last month, and you find out after something goes wrong in a unit.

Work orders lost in texts

Maintenance requests come in by phone, text and email, and owners ask what was done and what it cost.

One place for every property, unit and date

LapseHawk keeps your units, leases, rent invoices, work orders and vendor paperwork together by property, and warns you before anything lapses.

Properties, units and leases

Every unit, tenant and lease date in one view

Add a property and its units with tenant, rent, deposit and lease dates. LapseHawk shows occupancy and rent roll, and flags leases ending in the next 90 days so you can renew or re-let in time.

  • Occupancy and rent roll for each property and across your portfolio
  • Leases ending soon and month-to-month tenants flagged
  • Rent invoices created from a unit in one tap, with paid and overdue tracking

Everything a property manager needs, in one app

Rent, leases, maintenance and compliance for every building, with nothing to install.

Rent & leases

  • Property management dashboard

    Occupancy, rent overdue, leases ending, open work orders and compliance for every property on one screen.

  • Units & leases

    Each unit's tenant, rent, deposit and lease dates, marked occupied, notice or vacant. Lease ends land on your calendar.

  • Rent roll import

    Upload the rent roll you export from Rent Manager, AppFolio and others (CSV or Excel) and preview every change before it's applied. A file import, not a live sync.

    Make a rent invoice from any unit and see what's paid and what's overdue. Online rent payments by card through Stripe are coming soon.

Work orders & tenants

  • Work orders & approved vendors

    Open, assign and close work orders. Approved vendors are listed by trade with their insurance (COI) status.

  • Materials list

    Every open violation's parts merged into one shopping list with quantities, plus a Home Depot search for each item. A list to shop from, not a cart.

  • Tenant messaging

    Email the tenants of a building or unit about an inspection or repair. Text messages are coming soon.

Inspections & violations

  • City, state & DCA inspections

    City, state (like NJ DCA) and fire inspections and violations for each building, sorted worst first with fix-by dates.

  • Violation notices read by AI

    Upload a notice as a PDF or photo and each item becomes its own violation with a fix-by date.

    Connect Gmail or Outlook and LapseHawk finds inspection reports and notices and files them to the right building. Read-only.

Stay inspection-ready

  • Reminders 30, 14, 7 & 1 day out

    Email and calendar reminders before every inspection and fix-by date, so nothing sneaks up on you.

  • Printable inspection binder

    One binder per building with its checklists, violations, inspections and rules with sources, ready to print or save as a PDF.

Online rent payments and tenant text messages are coming soon. The email features need a connected Gmail or Outlook account. Compliance rules are a guide, not legal advice.

In detail

Property management compliance software

Inspections, violations, rent roll, work orders and vendor insurance for every rental, in one place.

Rental property violation tracker

Every open violation for every building in one list: who issued it, the unit, the fix-by date and its status. Buildings are sorted worst first, past-due and life-safety items are flagged, and assigning a violation creates a work order.

NJ DCA inspection tracking

For New Jersey rentals, track NJ DCA Bureau of Housing Inspection visits and notices next to your city and fire inspections, with reminders 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before. Connect Gmail or Outlook and LapseHawk finds DCA emails and reads the attached notice for you.

Rent roll import from Rent Manager and AppFolio

Upload the rent roll you export from Rent Manager, AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze or DoorLoop. LapseHawk matches the columns and previews new and changed units before you apply it. Upload a newer file any time to update the same units. A file import, not a live sync.

Work order software for landlords

Log a repair, assign it to an approved vendor, track it to done and see its cost on the owner statement. Vendors are listed by trade with their insurance status, so the person you send has a current COI.

Contractor compliance and COI tracking

For contractors, LapseHawk reads every certificate of insurance, checks it against your requirements and reminds you before it lapses. Permits, inspections and job-site violations sit in the same Compliance view as everything else.

FAQ

Questions from property managers

Is this a different product from LapseHawk?

No. It's the same LapseHawk account and login, set up for property management: properties and units instead of projects, leases, work orders and a property dashboard. You can switch your industry any time in Settings.

Does LapseHawk track inspections and violations?

Yes. Compliance tracks city, state and fire inspections and violations for each building or job site, with readiness checklists, fix-by dates and reminders 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before each inspection. Upload a violation notice and LapseHawk reads it into separate items, builds one materials list, and suggests approved vendors by trade. With Gmail or Outlook connected it can also pull inspection reports from your email. The rules it shows are a guide, not legal advice.

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days free with every feature. No card is needed to start: sign up with your company name, email and a password, and pick Property management.

Does it collect rent online?

Not yet. LapseHawk creates rent invoices, emails them as PDFs and tracks which are paid and overdue. Online rent payments by card through Stripe are coming soon.

Can I import my rent roll from Rent Manager or AppFolio?

Yes, as a file. Export your rent roll from Rent Manager, AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze or DoorLoop as CSV or Excel and upload it. LapseHawk matches the columns, shows new and changed units before anything is saved, and updates the same units when you upload a newer file. There is no live sync with those systems yet.

Does it track NJ DCA inspections?

Yes. For each building you can track state (NJ DCA Bureau of Housing Inspection), city and fire inspections and violations with fix-by dates, and get reminders 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before. With Gmail or Outlook connected, LapseHawk can find DCA and city inspection emails and read the attached notices. The rules it shows are a guide, not legal advice.

Will it warn me before a vendor's insurance expires?

Yes. Expiring and expired COIs show on the dashboard and calendar, and LapseHawk sends reminders before they lapse.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. An Android app is available now. On iPhone, open LapseHawk in Safari, tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”.
