Overview
Rent Manager stores properties, units, tenants, owners, work orders, and double-entry accounting as its core data model. Monday CRM uses a board-and-item structure with a separate CRM layer (contacts, deals, pipelines) that was designed for sales teams, not property managers. These platforms share almost no native object equivalence: Rent Manager's property/unit hierarchy becomes Monday boards and items; tenant and prospect records become Monday CRM contacts; lease and rental data becomes Monday CRM deals. FlitStack AI extracts Rent Manager data via the read/write API, transforms property IDs into board identifiers, maps tenant fields to Monday CRM contact fields, and creates deals from lease records with stage mapped from Rent Manager lease status. We surface Rent Manager's unlimited custom fields for manual column creation in Monday, export attachments for re-upload, and sequence the migration so parent properties import before child units. The result is Monday CRM populated with your property portfolio, tenant contacts, owner contacts, active leases, and work order history — ready for your sales or management team to work from. Automations, report definitions, and integrations do not migrate; we provide export-for-rebuild documentation for those.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Rent Manager object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Rent Manager
Property
monday CRM
Board (or Item Group)
1:1Each Rent Manager Property becomes a Monday CRM Board. The board name maps from Property.Name, address maps to board location columns, and the board description holds property-level notes. Units within the property become Items or Subitems on the board, depending on the selected plan tier.
Rent Manager
Unit
monday CRM
Item (or Subitem)
1:1Rent Manager Units map to Monday Items on the property board. Unit number becomes Item name, amenities map to checkbox or dropdown columns, and unit status (occupied, vacant, under maintenance) maps to a Status column. Subitems are available on Standard and above plans.
Rent Manager
Tenant
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Tenant records from Rent Manager migrate as Monday CRM Contacts. First name, last name, email, phone, and address fields map directly. Tenant lease history attaches to the contact as a linked deal. If the tenant is currently active, a Monday CRM Deal is created for the active lease.
Rent Manager
Prospect
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Rent Manager Prospects (pre-lease leads) become Monday CRM Contacts with a Lead status. Prospect interest type and source information map to custom contact fields. Once a Prospect converts to a Tenant in Rent Manager, the corresponding contact updates to a Customer status in Monday CRM.
Rent Manager
Owner
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Property owners migrate as Monday CRM Contacts flagged with an Owner type. Owner payment distributions and commission rates do not have a native Monday equivalent — these map to custom number or text columns on the owner contact record. Owner portal credentials do not migrate.
Rent Manager
Vendor
monday CRM
Contact
1:1Vendors map to Monday CRM Contacts with a Vendor type. Vendor company name maps to company name on the contact, and vendor categories (plumbing, electrical, landscaping) map to a dropdown column. Vendor payment terms and W-9 data do not have native equivalents in Monday CRM.
Rent Manager
Lease
monday CRM
Deal
1:1Active Rent Manager Leases become Monday CRM Deals. Deal name is the property address plus unit number. Deal amount maps from monthly rent, close date from lease end date, and pipeline stage from lease status (Active, Month-to-Month, Expired). Lease term length maps to a custom number field.
Rent Manager
Work Order
monday CRM
Item (or Subitem on Property Board)
1:1Work orders map to Items on the property board or as Subitems on the related unit. Work order description maps to item name, priority maps to Status (Low/Medium/High/Urgent), assigned vendor maps to a Contact column, and cost maps to a Number column. Completed work orders become archived items.
Rent Manager
Transaction / Payment
monday CRM
No native equivalent
1:1Rent Manager's double-entry accounting transactions have no Monday CRM equivalent. Rent payments, deposits, and AP disbursements are exported as CSV for reference and audit trail purposes. Rebuilding this data in Monday requires either the Accounting Power-Up integration or manual entry into compatible third-party accounting software.
Rent Manager
Custom Fields (any entity)
monday CRM
Custom Columns (board-level) or Custom Fields (contact-level)
1:1Rent Manager Premium's unlimited custom fields become Monday custom columns on the relevant board. CRM contact custom fields require mapping per-field — we generate a custom field creation plan before migration runs so your Monday admin can pre-create columns. Field type mapping follows Rent Manager data type (text, number, date, checkbox) to the nearest Monday column type.
Rent Manager
Attachments
monday CRM
Files
1:1Rent Manager file attachments on properties, units, tenants, or work orders are downloaded and re-uploaded to the corresponding Monday board item. We handle the export and re-upload; Monday's 250MB per file limit applies. Files without an attached contact or item are organized into a migration archive board.
Rent Manager
Reporting / Dashboards
monday CRM
No native equivalent
1:1Rent Manager's 450+ built-in reports have no Monday CRM equivalent. The underlying data migrates — financial transactions, occupancy rates, and rent rolls — but report definitions must be rebuilt as Monday Dashboard widgets (Pro plan and above) or exported as reference CSVs.

Rent Manager gotchas
Sensitive PII is encrypted at rest and requires elevated API scopes
Invoice/Payables bifurcation creates duplicate transaction lines
API is an add-on subscription not included in any bundle
Implementation fee is 2x monthly subscription cost
No free trial means migration decisions lack a test-before-commit option
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Rent Manager data and design Monday board structure
FlitStack AI connects to Rent Manager via the read/write API and inventories all properties, units, tenants, owners, vendors, and work orders. We produce a pre-migration board design document that maps each Rent Manager entity to a Monday workspace, board, and column layout — identifying which boards need Standard plan for subitems, which contacts need custom fields, and which data has no Monday equivalent (accounting, reports). Your Monday admin reviews and approves the board design before extraction begins.
Export and deduplicate contact records
Rent Manager stores tenants, owners, and vendors as separate entities, but some individuals may appear in multiple roles (an owner who is also a tenant, or a vendor contact who is also an owner). We deduplicate by email address, flagging records that appear in multiple roles for your review. Each unique contact gets one Monday CRM contact record with role flags — we do not create duplicate contacts for multi-role individuals.
Create Monday boards and pre-build custom columns
With the board design document as our guide, we create Monday boards matching the Rent Manager property hierarchy. For each board, we create custom columns for Rent Manager fields that have no native Monday equivalent — lease term length, security deposit, owner distribution percentage, work order priority, and unit amenities. Your admin can preview the column layout before data loads, and adjust column order or naming as needed.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
We migrate a representative slice — typically one property with all its units, three to five tenant contacts, one owner, and five work orders — and generate a field-level diff showing source values and destination values side by side. You verify that property addresses, unit numbers, contact information, lease amounts, and work order statuses appear correctly in Monday. We adjust field mapping rules based on your feedback before committing to the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into Monday CRM via the API, respecting daily rate limits by batching calls and resuming across days as needed. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs alongside the cutover: your team continues working in Rent Manager during the migration, and any new tenants, leases, or work orders created during this window are captured and loaded into Monday before go-live. Audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback reverts the Monday workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation finds discrepancies.
