The Australian PropTech market is full of lease software. None of it was purpose-built to protect you as a tenant. TenantSentry was.
Before TenantSentry, tenants had three options. None of them were designed to find overcharges on your behalf.
Re-Leased · Cirrus8 · Rex · Property Tree · Yardi
These systems automate rent collection, outgoings billing, and landlord reporting. They're excellent — for landlords. They have zero financial incentive to flag an invoice error in your favour.
Built to maximise landlord revenueAccurait.ai · LeaseEagle · Visual Lease · Cradle · BDO Lead
These tools abstract your lease clauses for AASB 16 compliance. They know what your lease says — but they never ingest your invoices to check whether you're actually being billed correctly.
Compliance tools, not billing guardsA1 Audits · Tenant CS · S King Advisory
Human experts who genuinely work for you — but they're expensive, slow, and reactive. Contingency fees of 15–30% of recovered cash mean they only get called in after the damage is done.
Manual, costly & one-time onlyThere's a space between what your lease says and what you're actually billed. That gap is where overcharges live. TenantSentry is the only platform that closes it.
A direct look at what each category of tool can — and can't — do for you as a tenant.

These are the capabilities that took years to build and can't be replicated with a generic AI wrapper.
We ingest your actual PDF invoices and EOFY statements and cross-check every line item against your lease. Not a document summary — a genuine financial reconciliation, automated to the cent.
We've embedded the Retail Leases Acts for VIC, NSW, and QLD into our AI engine. When Victorian land tax recovery rules change, or NSW legislation shifts, our system catches what generic tools miss.
When we find an error, we generate a dispute letter citing the exact clause of your lease and the relevant state legislation. You review, approve, and send — we never act without your sign-off.
It's not an oversight. There are structural conflicts of interest that prevent the incumbents from ever building what TenantSentry does.
Their paying customers are landlords and property managers. A tenant-side auditing tool would flag errors that directly reduce their clients' revenue. They'd lose their entire customer base to build it.
They sell to corporate controllers who need clean balance sheets for auditors. That buyer doesn't care about clawing back $8,000 in illegal land tax — they care about AASB 16 compliance. Different problem entirely.
They have the tenant-side alignment but not the software engineering capability. Their business model depends on high-value, low-volume engagements — not a $399/lease automated audit accessible to every SME.
Upload your lease and your latest landlord invoice — TenantSentry does the rest.
