Plain-language walkthroughs of the main journeys, who does what at each step.
A photo or short video helps your property manager understand the problem and get the right person out faster. When your building has this feature on, you can attach one to your maintenance request.
You sent in a rental application. Here is what happens next.
Download a tidy PDF rent receipt for any rent payment that went through, so you have proof of rent paid for your records or a provincial benefit or tax claim.
Add Wealtharu to your home screen so it is one tap away, and turn on notifications so you hear from your landlord.
Your rent payment did not go through. Here is how to fix it, calmly.
When your rent is due, Wealtharu can text or email you a reminder with a secure Pay link (it looks like wealtharu.com/pay/...). This guide explains what that link does and how to pay from it.
Pay your rent online by card and get an instant receipt.
Tell your property manager about something that needs fixing, and follow the repair.
Have your rent paid automatically from your bank account each month, so you never miss a due date.
Find your lease details, signed documents, and payment receipts in one place.
Some capital costs add to your property's adjusted cost base (ACB) for a future sale but are not depreciated. Land is the main one, along with acquisition legal fees and land-transfer tax. Record these as "ACB only, not depreciable" so they raise your cost base without showing up as a capital cost allowance (CCA) item. This is tooling, not tax advice.
A condo, a single-family house, and a townhouse are each one home you own, one property and one place to live. You do not need to create a "unit" inside it. Wealtharu treats these as a single dwelling, so you add the property and go straight to the lease.
Add a rental property to your account and set up the units inside it.
Add a tenant, then create the lease that ties them to a unit and sets the rent.
Turn an empty unit into a public, shareable listing page that advertises the vacancy and captures applications. Listings are free on every plan.
When a teammate records money, it can wait for an owner or approver to sign off before it counts. This is a safety check, nothing is wrong.
Archive a property, lease, or tenant to hide it from your lists while keeping everything. This is the right choice for records you no longer manage day to day but need to keep, like a property you sold or a tenant who moved out.
Fill the official rent-increase notice for a lease, prefilled from the tenancy.
If you were already depreciating assets before you started using Wealtharu, you can bring in each pool's opening balance so we carry it forward correctly. This is the carried-forward undepreciated capital cost (UCC) for your capital cost allowance (CCA) pools. Tooling, not tax advice.
Yes, claiming capital cost allowance (CCA) on a building can affect your principal residence exemption (PRE), so it is a decision to make with your accountant. This is tooling, not tax advice.
The Capital on the books, by CCA class panel groups all your capital improvements by their CRA CCA class, so you can see what you own, what is left to depreciate, and what you have claimed so far. Tooling, not tax advice.
Capital cost allowance (CCA) is the tax depreciation you may deduct on your building and depreciable assets. It is optional. You choose how much to claim each year, from nothing up to a maximum. Wealtharu defaults every pool to claiming $0 and never claims for you. Tooling, not tax advice.
Closing the books locks past records so a finished period cannot be changed by mistake. It is the standard accounting control that makes a month, quarter, or year final once you have reported it.
A tenant can pay before rent is due, or pay ahead for a future month. Wealtharu handles this for you. The payment settles the balance, and a prepaid or settled month does not send a "rent is due" reminder.
Build a lease from clauses and send it for electronic signature, all in Wealtharu.
A condo or townhouse usually belongs to a strata or condo corporation, and sits at a suite number on a particular floor. Wealtharu lets you record those facts on the property and track the monthly strata fee alongside your other costs.
Delete a property, unit, lease, tenant, or a portfolio record like a mortgage, valuation, or insurance policy. You have 24 hours to recover it before it is removed for good.
See your real estate net worth without typing in every number. When you add a property, Wealtharu can estimate its current value from the price you paid, and your dashboard leads with your equity.
Wealtharu can show you a calm menu with just the daily essentials, or the full toolset with every section and money tool. You choose, and you can switch back anytime. Your choice is remembered for the account you are in, so each account you manage can have its own experience.
Have a folder of documents for a property, a mortgage statement, an insurance page, a tax bill, the deed? Drop them all in at once. Wealtharu sorts each into the right place in the property's documents. You review before anything is saved, and you can undo the whole batch in one tap.
Fill out a curated form right inside Wealtharu and keep a copy you can find later.
Jump straight to any tenant, property, unit, lease, or document from anywhere in the app.
Every form you fill is saved so you can find, preview, and download it later.
New to Wealtharu? Here is the fastest path from sign-up to collecting rent.
Renting out a place comes with a pile of acronyms. Here is what the common ones mean, in plain language. You will also see these words underlined with dots in the app. Tap one to see its meaning right where it appears.
If you own several condos in the same building, you can group them under one building. A building is the shared bricks they sit in, one address and one strata corporation. It is a grouping only, so it holds no money of its own, no value, no mortgage, and no tax.
Sort, comment on, and close out the maintenance requests your tenants send.
CCA is optional. You can claim any amount from $0 up to the year's maximum for each pool, and the default is $0. This is tooling, not tax advice.
Every month, the rent a tenant owes is recorded as a charge on their lease. That charge is what the balance, reminders, and statements are built on. Here is how it gets there.
Wealtharu keeps real double-entry books behind the scenes. Every time money moves, it records two matching sides so your books always balance.
Already track your rentals' expenses in a spreadsheet? Bring a whole year of them into Wealtharu at once. You upload your file, check what we found, and confirm. Nothing is saved until you say so, and you can undo the whole import in one tap.
Already keep your rentals in a spreadsheet? You can bring them straight into Wealtharu. Upload the file you already have and Wealtharu suggests how your columns line up with ours. You check the suggestions, fix anything that looks off, then import. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
Moving your portfolio into Wealtharu? Bring your past maintenance requests with you. If you already track repairs and work orders in a spreadsheet, you can import the whole list at once. You upload your file, check what we found, and confirm. Nothing is saved until you say so, and you can undo the whole import in one tap.
When you bring in a spreadsheet of properties, Wealtharu understands the words people actually use for a condo, so a condo row comes in as a condo, not an unrecognized type.
Add Wealtharu to your home screen so it opens like an app, and turn on push notifications so you hear about what needs you.
Move around Wealtharu faster with a few simple keyboard shortcuts. They are optional and they never get in the way of typing.
Turn a maintenance request into action. When the maintenance AI feature is on, each request shows an advisory triage, you can draft a work order, and you can assign a vendor from your own directory.
See who is behind on rent, how old the balance is, and set up a payment plan to help a tenant catch up.
How Wealtharu keeps your email and text messages CASL-compliant, lets recipients opt out in one click, and shows you whether each message actually went out.
Messages keeps every conversation with a tenant, vendor, or applicant in one place, so the whole history lives in Wealtharu instead of your personal phone and inbox. You send by email, by text, or both, and replies come back into the same thread. This is for tenancy matters, not marketing.
Wealtharu celebrates real moments in your portfolio, like crossing $1M in equity or collecting your 100th rent payment. These are grounded in your own numbers, never made up.
Money activity is one timeline of everything that moved money across your whole portfolio, newest first.
See what's around a property without leaving Wealtharu. On the property workspace, the Neighbourhood panel shows a walkability read plus how many groceries, restaurants, transit stops, parks, schools, and healthcare spots are within about 1 km.
Offer a tenant a fixed-term renewal or a move to month-to-month, with any rent change checked against your province's rules.
Your dashboard can show a completeness score, like a profile-strength meter for your portfolio. It is a simple way to see what is filled in and what is still missing.
Open any document or image without leaving Wealtharu. Instead of downloading a file to look at it, you can preview it right in the app, page through it, zoom in, and download it only if you want to keep a copy.
The Insights panel on your dashboard tells you what to look at, before you go hunting for it.
The trial balance is the one-page proof that your books balance. It lists every account with its total debits, total credits, and net balance, plus a check that the grand totals match.
Log a payment a tenant made outside the app, like cash, cheque, or Interac e-Transfer, against their balance.
Sometimes you need to fix a record in a period you already closed. Re-opening the books removes the lock so you can make the correction, and it is recorded in the audit trail.
A reserve fund is money you set aside from each rent payment so a big or lumpy bill, like the annual property-tax or insurance bill, is never a surprise. Wealtharu tracks this as a plan plus a running balance. It is guidance, not accounting, and it never moves real money.
Move a tenant in with one guided flow that takes the deposit and first rent, records the walkthrough, and invites the tenant to their portal.
Snap a photo or upload a PDF of a receipt and Wealtharu drafts the expense for you. You review every field before anything is saved. You can also scan a mortgage, insurance, property tax, or valuation statement to draft the matching details.
Coming soon, not yet available. Tenant screening (credit and background checks) is not live during the soft launch while its vendor contract is being verified.

Coming soon, not yet available. The tenant-history signal is not live. It is held behind a rollout flag while we finish an Openroom data-use agreement and a legal review, and it only turns on after tenant screening itself is live. The steps below describe the intended experience. This article is not for publication until the feature is enabled.
Every change to a money record is recorded in a permanent trail you can hand to an accountant or auditor. It answers "an expense was $5,000 and is now $500, who changed it, when, and what was it before?"
