            Deal Inbox

            Email a listing link to one of your inbound addresses and Return Grid reads it for you. Deals land here for review before anything is created.

            Share notices require a mobile number for SMS or Email + SMS — those options are unavailable until one is saved.

            Tenants

            ?

            Everyone on a lease at one of your properties. Add new tenants when you attach them to a lease from the property's Rentals tab.

            Department Groups

            Group users under a Property Manager or Maintenance team, then assign the whole group to a property.

            Workflow Rules

            Rules run in order, top to bottom. The first one that matches wins unless it says continue.

            Rule log

            Every action automation took, and every rule that matched but was skipped. Kept for 90 days.

            Operating Entities

            The entities that operate your properties day-to-day and collect rent — used for GL account segmentation.

            Property Owners

            Who each property is owned or managed for — a separate dimension from Operating Entities. The Property Owner holds title; the Operating Entity runs day-to-day operations and can change over time.

            Settings Money Chart of Accounts

            Chart of Accounts

            The accounts that make up your general ledger.

            Settings Money Unposted GL Entries

            Unposted GL Entries

            Rent ledger entries that could not be posted to the general ledger. Retrying is safe to press more than once -- it only touches rows still missing a journal entry.

            Settings Money Opening Balances

            Opening Balances

            Post opening balances to the general ledger for properties you already own -- cost basis, any existing loan payable, and the offsetting opening balance equity. Review the preview below, then confirm to post.

            Settings Money Bank Accounts

            Bank Accounts

            Where security deposits and rent are held. Several states require this to be disclosed to tenants — keep institution names accurate.

            Settings Money Accounting Periods

            Accounting Periods

            Close a period once its books are final. A closed period can be reopened later if needed -- both actions require a reason, so there is always a record of why.

            All periods — newest first

            Settings Money Journal Entries

            Journal Entries

            Post a manual journal entry for an owner capital contribution, a correction, or an opening adjustment.

            Charge Types

            Each charge type must map to a GL account before its charges can post to the general ledger.

            Zoho GL Mapping

            Every general ledger account must map to a Zoho Books account before its journal entries can post. Corrections here re-queue anything waiting on this account.

            New event rule

            Fires the moment something happens on a ticket.

            1 When this happens Pick exactly one trigger
            2 …and all of these are true Leave empty to match every ticket

            Subject or body contains takes a list of terms and matches if any one appears, case-insensitive, as a substring in either the subject or the description (not a whole-word or regex match). Property and Unit both accept multiple values.

            3 Then do this Runs in the order listed
            4 After this rule runs Controls chaining
            Test before you trust it

            Checks how many currently-open tickets match Step 2's conditions right now, using the exact same evaluator this rule runs in production — not a separate estimate.

            Trial Balance

            Every account's debit and credit totals for the selected period. Should always balance.

            Profit & Loss

            Revenue and expense for the selected period, and the resulting net income.

            Balance Sheet

            Assets, liabilities and equity as of the end of the selected period.

            Track the companies and people who support your properties.

            Choose which widgets appear on your organization's landing page, and in what order. This is the default every user in your org sees. Anyone can still hide or reorder widgets for themselves using “Customize my view” on the landing page — a personal layout always wins over this org default, and it isn't affected when you save here.

            Logo, color, contact details, welcome copy, and your portal URL are included. To serve the Tenant Portal from your own domain, visit the Custom Domain page.

            No upgrade required

            What stays consistent

            A trusted Return Grid foundation

            Your logo, accent color, copy, and contact details are yours to customize. Typography, neutral color tokens, accessibility, core controls, and page layout stay Return Grid-controlled so every tenant gets a clear and reliable experience.

            Organization Settings

            ?

            Admin-only. Your organization's identity, sign-in settings, and who gets notified about new tenant requests. Credential values are encrypted at rest; secrets such as the Zoho Client Secret are never shown in full once saved -- only a masked hint of the current value is displayed. Leave a credential field blank to keep its current value unchanged.

            ?

            Admin-only. Connect the services that power the Tenant Portal. Return Grid routes invoice data but never receives or holds tenant funds.

            SMS provider

            Text messaging: Not configured

            Not configured

            Used for the 8 AM–9 PM local SMS window unless a tenant has a device time-zone override.

            Invoicing

            Invoicing provider: Not connected

            Not connected

            Choose Zoho Books to read and create invoices in your accounting system, or Manual to keep invoices directly in Return Grid.

            Payments

            Payment provider: Not connected

            Not connected

            Choose Zoho Payments for hosted checkout and recurring authorization, or Manual to record receipts yourself in Return Grid. Either way, the instructions below always show on the tenant's Payments page.

            Tenant payment instructions

            Tenants see this text on their Payments page no matter which payment provider you use below. Include accepted methods, recipient details, and what reference they should include. Do not include bank account passwords or card details.

            Applicant screening

            Screening provider: Not connected

            Not connected

            Applicants enter their Social Security number only on the provider's hosted page. Return Grid never receives an SSN or full consumer report and stores only a screening summary.

            Maintenance tickets

            Ticketing provider: Native

            Native

            E-Sign provider: Not connected

            Not connected

            Rent-payment credit reporting

            Provider: None

            Off

            Lets opted-in tenants get on-time rent payments reported to a credit bureau. Scaffold only for now -- events are logged as pending, not sent to a live bureau API, until a real Esusu/RentReporters integration is wired in.

            Test-queue a report (scaffold verification)

            Manually queue one payment-period report row for a lease + tenant portal user, to verify the scaffold end to end without waiting for a real on-time payment event.

            ?

            Manage the documents your organization generates and stores — lease templates used to draft new leases and renewals, and the issued documents shared with tenants.

            Lease templates

            Upload a plain PDF, then use “Edit layout” below to draw boxes for the tenant name, dates, rent, signatures, and any other fields this template needs — no {{placeholder}} text required.

            ?

            Customize the wording and email styling of the automated messages Return Grid sends on your behalf. This surface changes wording and branding only — who receives a message is controlled elsewhere.

            Sold Properties Report

            Purchase-to-sale financials for every property that has completed a sale. Annualized return and cash-on-cash-at-exit are approximations -- see note below the table.

            Total sale price

            "Annualized return" is a CAGR-style approximation from purchase price to sale price over the hold period, not a true multi-period IRR. "CoC at exit" divides total gain by total cash invested (purchase price + closing costs + rehab spend), not just the down payment.

            Repair Duration & Aging

            ?

            How long repairs take, and how old the open backlog is, across your whole portfolio. Properties are sorted worst-backlog-first. A missing start date counts as unknown — those items are excluded from every median and never treated as zero days.
