The Ownership % feature allows you to define how a property is shared between multiple owners. This is particularly useful for landlords who co-own properties (i.e. spouses or business partners), who need accurate records for tax and reporting purposes.

πŸ“Œ Why This Matters

Property ownership is often split between husband and wife or business partners. Defining the ownership percentage helps:

  • Allocate income and expenses correctly for each owner

  • Simplify tax reporting and profit/loss distribution

  • Maintain accurate records for your portfolio

πŸ”„ How to Set Ownership %

  1. Go to the relevant Property and open the Contacts > Owners tab.

  2. Ensure there are two or more owners listed.

    The "Split ownership %" button will only appear if there are multiple owners.

  3. Click Split ownership %.

  4. Enter each owner’s ownership percentage.

  5. Ensure the total adds up to 100%.

  6. Click Save to apply the split.

πŸ”’ Note: You cannot save the ownership split unless the total is exactly 100%.

Example

If James and Nancy co-own a property:

  • James: 50%

  • Nancy: 50%

By defining this split, Landlord Studio can attribute rental income and expenses proportionally when reports are being grouped by owners.
