1 / 10An Excel workbook (XLSX) for short-term-rental hosts, B&B owners and small property managers with up to 10 properties: log issues and repairs with status, priority, supplier, due date and cost; schedule recurring maintenance; keep a supplier directory; register appliances with warranty-expiry alerts; and read costs per property on a Dashboard. A clean BLANK workbook and a fictional DEMO come in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German, together with a one-page printable PDF for emergency contacts and shut-off locations.
The problem it solves
Repairs live in messages, supplier numbers in phone contacts and warranty papers in a drawer, so overdue jobs, expired warranties and the real repair cost of each property only show up when something goes wrong.
Who it is for
Hosts and managers of holiday lets, B&Bs and guesthouses (up to 10 properties) who want one place for what is broken, what is due and who to call, in desktop Excel.
What you get
- Overdue repairs turn red and jobs due soon turn amber, measured against an as-of date you control
- Recurring maintenance (boiler, AC filters, smoke detectors, pest control, pool, deep clean) gets its next due date calculated from the last time it was done
- Supplier directory with trade, phone, emergency number, rating and a running count and total spend per supplier
- Appliance and warranty register calculates the warranty end date and flags warranties that are ending soon or expired
- Dashboard with open and overdue issues, repair cost per property and trade, planned upkeep, and short lists of what to chase
- Printable one-page emergency contacts and shut-off locations sheet (A4 and US Letter), blank and with a fictional example
- Every file in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German; start from BLANK or learn first with the DEMO
How you use it
- Download and unzip, open the folder for your language and try the DEMO workbook first.
- Open the BLANK workbook in desktop Microsoft Excel and save a working copy. In Setup, enter your properties (up to 10); the lists for status, priority, trade and frequency are ready and can be renamed.
- Add your suppliers, then log each problem in Issues with property, priority, status, supplier, due date and cost. Fill in Completed when it is fixed.
- List recurring jobs in Maintenance with the date they were last done, and appliances in Appliances with purchase date and warranty months.
- Open the Dashboard to see what is overdue, what is due soon and what each property has cost. Print the PDF emergency sheet, fill it in by hand and keep a copy in each property.
Questions
Which languages are included?
English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. Each language has its own folder with the BLANK and DEMO workbooks, the printable PDF sheets and a START-HERE.txt, all written in that language.
What is the difference between the BLANK and DEMO workbooks?
BLANK is your empty working template. DEMO is the same workbook filled with fictional data for three properties, so you can see the red and amber alerts, warranty warnings and Dashboard before entering your own records.
How do overdue and due-soon alerts work?
They are compared with the as-of date in Setup, which is today's date unless you type another one. You also choose how many days count as due soon (14 by default) and how many days before a warranty ends it should be flagged (60 by default).
Will it send me reminders?
No. It is a workbook, not an app: there are no emails or notifications. Open it, check the Dashboard and the red and amber rows.
Does it work on a Mac, in Google Sheets or on my phone?
It is built and tested for desktop Microsoft Excel on Windows. Mac, Excel for the web, mobile apps, Google Sheets and LibreOffice have not been verified.
Can I print the emergency sheet?
Yes. The one-page PDF comes in A4 and US Letter, blank and with a fictional example. Fill it in by hand and keep a copy in each property. It tells you not to write door, alarm or Wi-Fi codes on it.
What is included

Version 1.0
Good to know
- Prepared for 10 properties, 300 issues, 100 recurring tasks, 60 suppliers and 100 appliances per workbook; there is no automatic rollover when a list is full.
- Manual tracking: no cloud sync, no automatic reminders or emails, no link to other MAXORI products. You open the file and read the Dashboard.
- Not accounting software: costs are the amounts you type in, in one currency per workbook (no conversion).
- Sheets are protected without a password to keep formulas intact; filters work, and you can unprotect a sheet if you need to sort or add columns.
- Maintenance intervals are your own choices. The files are not legal, safety or accounting advice and do not replace required inspections; check your local rules and manufacturers' instructions. Emergency numbers differ by country.
- The PDF sheet is filled in by hand (it is not a fillable form). The demo data and contact details are fictional.
- A one-time digital download, not the MAXORI online software.
This is a downloadable digital product, not online software. It does not need an account and is not part of the MAXORI Software subscriptions.
