Move records from Buildium or RentRedi
Export your records, prepare a CSV and review what Rentari will import.
On this page
Keep a private copy of your original export and compare it with records already in Rentari. Use the account owner's sign-in.
Step 1: Export from Buildium
In Buildium, open Settings > Export Data, choose the records you need and download the file. If it is an Excel workbook, save the relevant sheet as a UTF-8 CSV for Rentari.
Step 2: Export from RentRedi
Open the section containing your records and use Export Data. Keep the downloaded CSV. Confirm that it contains the properties, tenants or leases you intend to add.
Step 3: Choose the Rentari source
Open Import from another system in Settings. Choose Buildium export for a Buildium file or Spreadsheet (CSV) for a RentRedi CSV. Select Next and choose your CSV, up to 10 MB.
Step 4: Match and review
Match your columns to Rentari fields. Use Preview rows to check the data, then continue to Review before importing. Compare properties, units, tenants, leases, duplicate rows and any opening balances. Correct listed problems before continuing.
Step 5: Import the checked records
Choose Import only when the review is correct. Check the Imported counts and the saved rentals. No tenant invitations are sent by this import; invite renters separately when ready.
What transfers
The file import handles the mapped rental records. It does not connect your old platform or transfer its payment authorizations, screening reports, messages or attachments. Keep those files separately.
Export records from Rentari
For a rental overview, use the Rent roll report in Payments. Follow Download a rent roll for your portfolio or property to choose and review the export. Account data export is a separate workflow.
Check the result
- Your reviewed rental records are imported, with any remaining items identified separately.
FAQs
Can I upload an Excel workbook here?
This import accepts CSV files. Save the relevant sheet as UTF-8 CSV with distinct column headings. Keep the original workbook for reference.
Does RentRedi have its own source button?
No. Use Spreadsheet (CSV), then match the exported columns. Buildium has a named source option.
Will an import invite my tenants?
No. Importing records and sending portal invitations are separate actions.
What if the imported records are wrong?
Review the saved records before adding more. The result offers Undo this import, which removes records added by that import. Check its scope and contact support if you are unsure.
