For landlords, by a landlord

The renewal date that
quietly passed —
never missed again.

You bought a property, not a second job in admin. Frontage keeps every lease in one calm vault and emails you before each key date arrives — option-to-renew, rent review, expiry and insurance — so the date never costs you a rent reset again.

No password to remember No card required Flat pricing, never per-property

The bit nobody warns you about

A spreadsheet doesn't email you. So the date passes.

It rarely arrives with a bang. The lease sits in a drawer. The option date lives in a spreadsheet you opened in March and haven't touched since. Renewal terms are three reminders away from being remembered.

Then the date passes. The tenant rolls onto a fresh market lease — or worse, walks — and the rent resets in their favour. A missed option-to-renew or a forgotten rent review can quietly cost a year's worth of the gain you were owed.

It's not that you're disorganised. It's that lease admin hides between the urgent things, and no spreadsheet ever sent itself.

A 12-lease landlord, per-property tools
$400+/mo

That's what the enterprise platforms charge a private landlord to do this — billed per property, every month. Frontage is one flat fee, whatever the size of your portfolio. And a single missed rent reset on one shop — roughly $8,400 a year — costs more than Frontage ever would.

"I lost a market review on a retail lease because it was a line in a spreadsheet I stopped opening. Frontage is the email I'd have needed."
— the reason this exists. Built and dogfooded on a real retail portfolio in Queensland.
Everything a landlord forgets — handled

Set up a lease once. Then
we watch the calendar for you.

Storage is free everywhere. What earns its keep is the system that watches every key date for you and chases the things tenants forget — in plain English, nothing per-property to pay for. Here's what that looks like.

01 / the whole point

We'll email you 90, 30 and 7 days before it's due

Lease expiry, option-to-renew, rent review, insurance renewal — tell Frontage the dates once and it does the remembering. Three gentle nudges, well ahead of time, straight to your inbox. You'll never be the landlord who found out too late.

  • One email per key date at each window, with the action you need to take
  • A ready-to-send notice template attached to each reminder
  • Anything past its date is flagged overdue until it's cleared

Every lease and certificate, where you can actually find it

Leases, certificates of currency, disclosure statements and served notices — kept together and tagged by property and tenant, not lost in an email thread or a shoebox at tax time. Each document hangs off the lease it belongs to, so the file is always where the date is.

  • Searchable by property, tenant or document type
  • Expiry dates read off the document, not re-keyed by hand
  • Generous storage on every plan

Certificates of currency that chase themselves

When a tenant's insurance is about to lapse, Frontage sends the polite request for an up-to-date certificate — and follows up if it doesn't arrive. You get one clean status board showing who's covered and who's overdue, instead of a folder of half-remembered PDFs.

  • Auto-requests a fresh certificate before the current one expires
  • Escalates the chase after 14 days of silence
  • Compliant, lapsing or overdue, at a glance

Tenants submit their own meter reads — with a timestamped photo

No more site visits to squint at a sub-meter. Tenants log in, type the reading and snap a photo of the meter — and it lands in Frontage with a timestamp, so you bill from a number you can trust, not a guess. Fair, transparent, and off your to-do list.

  • Request a read; the tenant submits it from their own portal
  • Every reading carries a dated photo of the meter for the record
  • Outstanding reads sit on your dashboard until they're in

Generate, send and track rent — without the payment-processor cut

Raise a rent invoice from the lease, email it to the tenant and watch it move from sent to paid to overdue. Frontage handles the paperwork and the tracking; the money still lands in your own bank account, your way. No payment rails, no surprise transaction fees skimming your rent.

  • Generate and send branded rent invoices straight from the lease
  • Track sent, paid and overdue across the whole portfolio at a glance
  • Bulk tenant comms when you need to reach everyone at once

Who it's for

Built for the landlords the big tools ignore.

The enterprise platforms are built for agencies with hundreds of doors, priced to match. Frontage is for the people actually holding the lease — and managing it themselves.

Private commercial & retail landlords

A strip of shops, a warehouse, an office floor — leases with real money on the dates.

Mum-and-dad investors

One or two properties, self-managed, who simply want to stop forgetting things.

Boutique agencies

Small rent rolls the per-door platforms price out of the market entirely.

SMSF & trust-held property

Held in a structure, run by the owner, where compliance and records matter.

Strata shop owners

A single lease in a complex, with its own dates and certificates to mind.

Anyone done with spreadsheets

If your lease admin lives in a folder and your head, this is the upgrade.

I built Frontage because I missed a renewal date on my own shop. I never wanted that sinking feeling again — and I didn't think a small landlord should pay enterprise prices to avoid it. Now the dates take care of themselves, and I sleep fine.

In plain English

The honest questions, answered.

Do I need a password?
No — and that's deliberate. You enter your email, we send you a one-time sign-in link, you click it and you're in. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset, nothing to leak.
How does the $1 trial work?
Start on Solo for $1 a month for your first three months — the full vault and the automatic reminders, on one lease. A card's required so it rolls straight onto the $9 plan after, and you can move up to Multi, Portfolio or Pro the moment you add more leases. Cancel any time.
Does it handle both commercial and residential leases?
Both. Frontage is built for self-managing landlords across the board — a strip of retail shops, a couple of houses, units in a strata complex, property held in a trust or SMSF. The key dates that matter to you are the ones it watches.
Will it take my rent payments?
No, and on purpose. Frontage generates, sends and tracks your rent invoices, but the money lands in your own bank account, your own way. No payment processing means no surprise transaction fees skimming your rent.
How are the reminders actually sent?
By email, straight to your inbox — 90, 30 and 7 days before each key date. You set the date once when you add the lease; Frontage schedules all three nudges and attaches a ready-to-send template to each. No app to keep checking.
What if I want to leave?
You can cancel any time and your documents are always yours to export. We'd rather earn the next month than lock you in.
Two minutes to peace of mind

Add your first lease today, and let the dates take care of themselves.
