5. How do I upgrade my plan?
To subscribe to an upgraded plan, go to the main “Settings” menu and select the “Account Subscription” option. You can choose either a Standard, Advanced, or Premium plan.
By upgrading, you will receive many new features that will help grow your rental business and improve your tenants’ renting experience.
6. How do I activate and edit content on my listing website?
A customizable listing website is a great tool to advertise your vacancies and attract more applicants to your listings.
In order to activate it, go to the "Settings" menu and choose "Marketing website." Click on “Activate free listing website” and fill in the required information.
You will be then able to view all your listings and syndicate them with external listing websites.
7. What is Renters Insurance?
With the help of Assurant, the leading provider of renters insurance, you can secure your and your tenants belongings during their tenancy.
You can request Renter’s Insurance from tenants when creating a lease agreement.
8. How do I require my tenant to sign an agreement electronically?
E-signature allows you to send agreements to your tenants to be digitally signed as part of the move in process.
You can require the E-signature from your tenants on the last "Agreement & Signature" step of the move in process.
Note that E-signature is available starting from the Standard plan.
9. How do I set up an application fee?
Application fees can cover the costs associated with processing a rental application. If you’ve decided to charge application fees, you will need to activate this option when listing a unit.
Go to the Application Settings step. Then enable "Receive rental applications online" and "Require tenant to pay an application fee.” There you can enter the amount of the fee for the listing.
10. How do I assign a maintenance request to my service pro?
If you need to assign a maintenance request to a service pro, you’ll need to add a professional to your Contacts list and connect with them first. Once you’ve added the contact, you’ll be able to assign the service request in the Assignee Information section on the maintenance request page.
