Welcome to KeyLoft — the all-in-one property management app built for landlords and property managers. Whether you manage one rental or an entire portfolio, this guide walks you through the first steps to get up and running quickly.
The Dashboard: Your Portfolio at a Glance
The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you open KeyLoft. It gives you a live snapshot of your entire portfolio without needing to dig into individual property or tenant records.
- Portfolio summary — total properties, active tenants, and monthly income
- Occupancy status — how many units are occupied vs. vacant
- Rent collection progress — how much rent has been collected this month
- Outstanding balances — overdue payments across all tenants
- Action items — tasks, maintenance requests, and upcoming lease events
- Getting started checklist — step-by-step guidance on first launch
The dashboard updates in real time as you add properties, record payments, and close maintenance requests — no manual refresh needed.

Your profile stores your name and business name, which appear on PDF leases, invoices, and communication templates. To set up your profile:
