Tenant document collection, without the email back-and-forth
Stop hunting through email threads for the signed lease. Give tenants one place to upload documents, and see the exact moment they opened what you sent — free for up to 10 properties.

What is a tenant document collection tool?
A tenant document collection tool gives tenants a single, secure place to receive and upload documents — leases, notices, signed forms — instead of scattered email attachments. Dashlio's document hub stores everything per tenant and per property, shows timestamped read receipts so you know when a document was opened, and is free for up to 10 properties with no credit card. Note: Dashlio organizes and collects documents but does not provide tenant screening or background checks.
Roughly 70% of small U.S. rental properties (1–4 units) are owned by individual investors, not large firms — the small landlords Dashlio is built for. U.S. Census Bureau, 2021 Rental Housing Finance Survey
