FAQs
What is a rental property chart of accounts?
A rental property chart of accounts is a list of categories used to organise your rental income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. It helps keep transactions consistently categorised so you can understand property performance and prepare accurate financial reports.
How do I import this rental chart of accounts into Xero?
Download the free chart of accounts template and import it into your Xero account during setup. You can then review the accounts, customise them where needed, and map your rental income and expense categories to the appropriate Xero accounts.
Can I customise the chart of accounts for my rental properties?
Yes. You can add, remove, or rename accounts to match how you manage your rental business. Your chart of accounts should reflect the types of income and expenses you actually need to track while remaining simple enough to use consistently.
Can I connect Landlord Studio with Xero?
Yes. Landlord Studio integrates with Xero, allowing you to map your properties, bank accounts, and transaction categories to Xero. Transactions recorded in Landlord Studio can then be synchronised to Xero, reducing duplicate data entry and giving your accountant access to Xero's reporting tools. The integration currently syncs data one way from Landlord Studio to Xero.
