What it does
Self-service payments
Tenants see their balance, pay rent, set up autopay, and download receipts, so they can confirm a payment without texting you.
Maintenance from anywhere
Tenants report issues with photos, follow each ticket's status, and see when the vendor is scheduled.
Document access
The lease, move-in inspection, and house rules stay in the portal, so you don't have to email them again.
