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
They automate rent collection, outgoings billing and landlord reporting. Excellent — for landlords. Zero incentive to flag an invoice error in the tenant's favour.
Built to maximise landlord revenueAccurait.ai · LeaseEagle · Visual Lease · Cradle · BDO Lead
They abstract lease clauses for AASB 16 compliance. They know what the lease says — they never check what the tenant is actually billed.
Compliance tools, not billing guardsA1 Audits · Tenant CS · S King Advisory
Human experts who truly work tenant-side — but expensive, slow and reactive, with 15–30% contingency fees. 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.

The capabilities a generic AI wrapper can't replicate.
Actual invoices and EOFY statements, cross-checked line-by-line against the lease. Not a summary — a financial reconciliation, automated to the cent.
NSW commercial-lease law — the Retail Leases Act 1994 and seven related Acts and instruments, verified section by section against AustLII — embedded in the engine. Every finding cites the exact section it relies on.
Every error produces a dispute letter citing the exact clause and the relevant legislation. You review, approve and send — nothing moves 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. A tenant-side audit tool flags errors that reduce their clients' revenue — building it would cost them their customer base.
They sell AASB 16 compliance to corporate controllers. That buyer wants a clean balance sheet, not $8,000 of land tax clawed back. Different problem entirely.
Tenant-side alignment, but a business model built on high-value, low-volume engagements — not fixed-fee automated audits accessible to every SME.
Bring the lease and the latest landlord invoice — TenantSentry does the rest, under your brand.
