This feature enables you to place signable fields in your documents, which students can sign securely through the Tenant Web Access (TWA) portal.

KPIs

Determine if your strategies for attracting new prospects are working by using Rent Manager’s Report Writer and Financial Report Writer modules to create custom tracking for key performance indicators (KPIs).

Student Portal

Rent Manager’s student portal allows residents and parents to log in to make online payments, see outstanding charges, submit maintenance requests, and more. Renters can also use the rmResident App to access these essential features via their iOS™ and Android™ devices.

Communication

The easiest, most-effective way to communicate with student renters is via text. Make that process even easier with Rent Manager’s Text Messaging Center. This essential communication resource enables you to quickly send text and media messages to your residents and receive their replies.

When you need to deliver phone messages in a timely, efficient manner, Phone Broadcast is the way to go. This feature allows you to send pre-recorded voicemail messages to as many contacts as needed, saving you valuable time.

Turns

With Rent Manager, your property will be equipped and ready for all your students—no matter how much time you have to prepare.

Lease Renewals

As your residents renew their leases for the school year, use the Lease Renewal Offer workflow to help manage the process. This feature can manage expiring leases, renewal forms, and more.
Make Ready Board

Make sure your available units are ready for incoming students with Rent Manager’s Make Ready Board. This unit-prep command center displays all assigned apartments with color-coded statuses for whatever services and inspections are needed to get them rental-ready.
Move-In/Move-Out Workflows

Moving into college is one of the most exciting times in a student’s life. Ensure this process runs smoothly for you and your new residents by using Move-In/-Out Wizards to help organize important dates and information.
Integrated Billing

With so many tasks to manage, you need a billing process that’s as efficient as you are. Take advantage of integrated billing within Rent Manager to help simplify your payables processes.

Roommates

Rent Manager delivers flexibility in how you set up and manage roommates. Allow students to pay individually, one lump-sum payment, or allow one resident to pay rent for another. Charge different rents or fee structures for each roommate separately. Track move-ins/-outs and report on occupancy at your properties.

Insurance

While insurance may be the last thing on a student’s mind, having it available for them to purchase delivers peace of mind for everyone involved. Renters insurance—provided through LeaseTrack by Millennial Specialty Insurance—is a no-cost feature that enables students to acquire insurance through Tenant Web Access (TWA) or rmResident. Those who don’t have coverage can be automatically enrolled in a master policy program, ensuring compliance for all.
