The advantages of using our Online Tenant Portal

Emily Brick Road Rentals • Jan 22, 2021

Renting a property is a much simpler process these days than it was 10-20 years ago! With all the advancing technology, submitting an application, signing a lease, paying your rent, submitting maintenance requests and more have become quick and easy things to do. As a property management company, we love having these technologies to make our jobs more efficient and the process for new and future tenants streamlined.

Our online tenant portal, powered through AppFolio, allows our tenants and applicants to easily contact us! Here are a few advantages for using our online portal both as a new tenant or prospective tenant.

Paying Rent

One of the biggest advantages of an online tenant portal, is the ability to pay rent online! You no longer have to drop a rent check off to your landlords office. Easily pay your rent on time every month. You can even set your portal to automatic payments to ensure you never recieve a late fee!

Submitting Maintenance Requests

Another great advantage of an online tenant portal is the ability to submit maintenance requests fast and efficiently. You can easily communicate with your landlords when there is a problem that arises and needs to be looked at. You will still need to call your landlord for emergences!

Simple Application and Lease Process

The last thing that makes renting with a property management company using a platform like AppFolio easy is the entire application process is online. Once you view a rental you love, its as simple as filling out a quick online application to get the process started! No longer do you have to fill out a stack of papers and drop or fax them to a location. Everything we need to know is in the application you complete.

Once you are approved, you'll even sign your lease online making the process for everyone quick and efficient. We love using a AppFolio for our property management needs as well as offering it to our tenants!
