PUSHBUTTON LANDLORDING®
Pushbutton Landlording is a stand-alone computer program designed
to help you automate the "income side" of your rental
property management operations. It handles all of the bookkeeping
chores you normally do to keep track of your rental properties
and your tenants. It also does a whole lot more.
It creates rental applications, rental agreements, leases, and
condition-and-inventory checksheets just like the ones in the
Landlording book, and it creates them directly from the
information in your tenant database.
It writes statements so you can remind your tenants when their
rent is due.
It writes rent receipts and produces income reports. It generates
a list of those tenants who are late in paying their rent, whether
they're one day late, four days late, or one month late. It prepares
either a rent reminder or a "notice to pay rent or quit,"
whichever you prefer, and it prepares them automatically.
It reviews your rents to help you decide whether you ought to
consider rent changes. It prepares rent change notices automatically.
It does maintenance requests and work orders and keeps track
of maintenance costs.
It enables you to write notes to communicate with your tenants
or include in their files.
It even tells you when the insurance is about to come due or
is past due on your property.
What's more, it exports income data to Quicken®, to Microsoft
Money® (Money imports the same Quicken Interchange Files
as Quicken itself), and to QuickBooks® so you don't have
to learn another method for writing checks, nor do you have to
enter income data twice.
Pushbutton Landlording maintains extensive information on every
tenant, and it retains that information until you decide that
you don't need it anymore.
Pushbutton Landlording is menu-driven, that is, it directs you
to where you need to go to do what you want to do. All you have
to do is push an appropriate button on a menu.
Whenever you need help, you'll find it right on line, either
in the many help sections which are available with the push of
a button or within the program itself.
Pushbutton Landlording handles any number of units. It works
just as well for a landlord with a single rental house as it
does for a landlady with thousands of apartment units. It works
just as well for those who "do it themselves" as it
does for those who manage properties for others.
We are currently using the program ourselves in-house to handle
more than three hundred units, half of them on a Windows machine
and half of them on a Macintosh.
These are some of the hard-copy printouts you can get
from Pushbutton Landlording:
Tenant Receipts
Tenant Ledger
Tenant Statements
Rental Application
Rental Agreements (Long, Short, and Custom)
Leases (Long, Short, and Custom)

Notice of Change in Terms of Tenancy
Notice to Terminate Tenancy
Notice of Intention to Vacate

Pushbutton Landlording can export to word processing merge-print
files (tenant agreement data); to spreadsheets (reports data);
and to Quicken, Money, and QuickBooks (income data).
You may use Pushbutton Landlording on a personal computer runningWindows
or on an Apple Macintosh.
The personal computer running Windows may have any version

a CD-ROM drive, a mouse or equivalent device, and a dot-matrix,
laser, or ink-jet printer capable of printing in Arial and New
Courier fonts.
The Macintosh must be running System 7.0 or higher, including
OSX. It must have a hard drive, a CD-ROM drive, and a dot-matrix,

EVICTION FORMS CREATOR(tm)
Eviction Forms Creator creates the various forms you need
to evict a tenant legally through the California court system.
It creates them the modern way, on a computer, rather than the
old-fashioned way, on a typewriter.
Using Eviction Forms Creator, even the worst of typists, those
who have to eyeball the key caps and strike the right keys with
conscious effort, can create perfect eviction forms which are
sure to please the people who count whenever there's an eviction
in the legal works, that is, the court clerk and the judge.
Eviction Forms Creator is designed to be so easy to use that
it doesn't require a thick user's manual and hours of study time.
In fact, once you understand a little bit about what makes the
program "tick," what you need to do to load it onto
your computer, what you need to do to navigate through it easily,
and what you need to do to get it to print the forms correctly,
you'll be ready to crank out great-looking eviction forms from
sunup to sundown.
When using Eviction Forms Creator, you save time because you
enter information only once, and that same information is used
wherever it's needed to fill out all the forms. Once you enter
information about yourself as the preparer of the forms, for
example, you never have to enter that information again. The
same goes for the court(s) you use and for each of the tenants
you are evicting.
The forms you can create with Eviction Forms Creator begin with
the various legal notices designed to alert tenants to the owner's
intent to evict, and they end with the Writ of Execution, which
gives the sheriff or marshal the authority to turn the tenants
out and return possession of the property to the rightful owner.
These forms include both those which have specific legal wording
requirements and those which have specific legal wording and
formatting requirements, that is, the Judicial Council forms.
(The Judicial Council is charged by the state legislature with
the responsibility of providing uniformity in the forms used
in state courts.)
The program works just as well for those who do their own evictions
as it does for those who do evictions for others.
Here is a list of all the forms which are included in Eviction
Forms Creator (the seventeen Judicial Council forms are shown
in capital letters):
