What you want is very simple, just not in GnuCash which is possibly the only package without it. The workaround changing accounts is just not worth the grief.
Other software allows a category or class[ification] field on each transaction. Normally the field is even auto-populated based on say a payment by a tenant. One field is still not ideal because you might want multiple classifications on one transaction like bigger accounting packages offer (location, manager, supplier, owner, enterprise etc). The feature's been requested fairly frequently for ages: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113772 Best thing you can do is change to different software. I use an old quickbooks version for my business to get that feature but you miss out on the open access to the database and potential reporting that brings. Say rental statements, performance per unit or property manager.
