Our story
I'm not a landlord. I've never managed a building. But the landlords and property managers I talked to all said the same thing: the existing tools were either too expensive, too generic, or both. Yardi and AppFolio are built for portfolios with hundreds of doors. Spreadsheets and group chats are what you fall back on when you have three.
So Tenon10 started as a simple question: what would the platform look like if you built it for the 1–25 unit owner who just wants compliance, rent, and a tenant app that doesn't make them look amateur? The answer became the product — RTA-aware leases, N-form library, mobile rent collection, and a tenant portal that feels native instead of bolted on.
The name comes from the tenon joint — one of the oldest, strongest connections in woodworking. Two pieces interlock, and the joint holds because each side fits the other. That's the rental relationship we want to support: landlord and tenant both treated as first-class users of the same system.
“We didn't try to copy Yardi. We asked the landlords who couldn't afford it what they actually needed — and built that, in Toronto, for the Canadian market.”
What we believe
Four things shape every feature decision.
Trust & security
Bank-grade encryption, PIPEDA-aligned data handling, and a privacy policy you can actually read.
Simplicity
No jargon, no consultant calls. Pick a feature, do the thing, get back to your life.
Fairness
Landlords, property managers, and tenants all use the same system. Transparent pricing, no dark patterns.
Built with users
Every feature comes from a real workflow a landlord or PM walked us through. Then we ship, then we iterate.
Who we build for
Three audiences, one platform — all treated as first-class.
Retail landlords
The 1–25 unit owners who got priced out of Yardi and bored of spreadsheets.
