Tenant issues, on the owner's record

Tenants report by phone in under a minute. Every request becomes a work order you can see — with a status, an assignee, and a clock. Nothing lives in a manager's inbox.

The Accountability Loop

From a tenant's phone to your work-order queue

One record, two views. The tenant watches their request; you watch the work order it created. Neither side wonders what happened.

The same row your aging board watches — SLA timers included.

You're not buying a tenant app. You're closing the gap between "a tenant reported it" and "the owner can see it."

Tenant issues used to enter the record only if a manager typed them in — after the call, maybe, eventually. The Tenant Requests app moves that entry point to the tenant's phone, so the issue exists in your trusted data layer from minute one. Your managers still do the work. You just stop depending on their inbox for the truth.

The Tenant Experience

Friction low enough that tenants actually use it

A reporting channel only works if it beats calling the office. Sign-in is a text message; a request takes a category, a sentence, and a photo.

SMS sign-in, no passwords

A phone number and a 6-digit code. Sessions persist, and tenants with multiple units pick the unit first.

Eight categories, not a blank box

Photos tell the story

Up to 5 photos per request, straight from the phone's library — thumbnails right on the request card.

An activity feed, not a void

Chronological updates from the property team — author, role, and timestamp on every entry.

Owner Visibility

Every request is a work order you can inspect

Requests don't go to a tenant portal you'll never open. They land in the same Facilities queue as everything else — aging, status, and response time per manager, on the record.

  • Aging clocks start at submission — not when a manager gets around to logging it.
  • AI-drafted tenant updates go out by SMS once approved — the black hole is closed from both ends.
  • Response times feed manager accountability — measured, not remembered.
