Managing rental properties can quickly become overwhelming, especially as your portfolio grows. From tracking rent payments and managing maintenance requests to reconciling CAM charges and communicating with tenants, day-to-day tasks can consume hours. Fortunately, UnitConnect makes it easy to automate these workflows, freeing up time and reducing costly errors. Here’s how you can streamline your rental property management using UnitConnect’s all-in-one platform.
Automated Rent Collection and Tenant Portals
One of the most time-consuming aspects of property management is rent collection. With UnitConnect, tenants have access to a secure online portal where they can make recurring payments, view invoices, and track their payment history. This automation reduces the need for manual reminders or paper checks, improving on-time payments and reducing administrative tasks.
Property owners and managers are notified instantly when payments are made, and funds are deposited directly into designated accounts. The software also flags missed payments and can send automatic reminders, eliminating the need for uncomfortable follow-ups.
Maintenance Request Tracking and Vendor Management
Say goodbye to missed maintenance requests and endless phone calls. Tenants can submit service requests directly through the UnitConnect portal, complete with details and photos. These requests are automatically routed to the appropriate vendor or maintenance staff.
You can create a list of approved vendors, track job statuses, assign tasks, and even store invoices and receipts—all in one place. Automating this process ensures that nothing falls through the cracks and that you maintain a clear record of maintenance history for every unit.
Lease and Document Automation
Storing, managing, and renewing leases is easier than ever with UnitConnect. The platform provides digital lease templates and reminders for upcoming expirations or renewals. You can store all property-related documents securely online, including signed leases, inspection reports, and insurance certificates.
Automated alerts ensure you never miss a critical date, and customizable workflows help standardize your lease onboarding and offboarding processes.
Financial Reporting and Budgeting
UnitConnect simplifies complex financial tasks with automated income and expense tracking, bank reconciliation tools, and robust reporting features. You can automatically categorize expenses, generate owner statements, and reconcile accounts with ease.
Its budgeting tools also allow you to plan, set financial goals, and track actual vs. projected income and expenditures, without needing to export data into a separate spreadsheet.
CAM Reconciliation
Common Area Maintenance (CAM) reconciliation can be one of the more tedious parts of managing commercial properties. UnitConnect automates this process by allocating shared expenses according to lease terms and generating tenant reconciliation reports. This eliminates the manual calculations that often lead to disputes or errors.
Time-Saving Dashboards and Alerts
With a user-friendly dashboard, UnitConnect provides an at-a-glance overview of key metrics—vacancy rates, upcoming lease expirations, outstanding work orders, and more. Custom alerts and automated emails keep you informed, so you’re always one step ahead.
