Tenant & Lease Management Software
One of the primary features of property management software is administration of tenant and lease information. Designed specifically for property management companies, tenant and lease management systems supports the landlord in screening applicants, tracking payments, and recording relevant information for each resident as well as for each unit, saving time and money and increasing effectiveness in managing the property. This software also automates financial transactions, increasing efficiency and accuracy of the process.
Specific features of this software include:
| Tenant screening | The first step of the process, many software vendors' programs allow tenants to apply online and conduct online background checks to verify credit history, rental history, and income. |
| Lease management | Property management software solutions store all relevant lease information, including tenant contact information, lease expiration notices, late fee reminders, appliance conditions, work order history, and vehicles. The information is easy to recall at any time, and the database can be mined for hundreds of relevant reports. |
| Payment intake & management | Track receipts and payments, including rent and utilities, subleases, real estate taxes, property insurance, and payroll. You can also tie payments to the correct unit for a permanent record, as well as automatically calculate annual rent increases. |
| Common area management | Calculate common area charges and track maintenance, policies, and usage as desired. |
