How Does Rentec Direct Handle Insurance Protection for Landlords and Tenants?

Integrated options for renters insurance and landlord insurance for added protection.

Renters insurance helps your renters protect their belongings and will mitigate disputes should any property get destroyed during tenancy.

How Does Rentec Direct's Work Order Management System Work?

Track maintenance and repairs with the work order management system.

Proper work order management helps you fix maintenance issues before a small problem creates serious damage. Your property management software gives you an easy way to receive property maintenance requests and track work orders through to completion. Tenants can report an issue through the Tenant Portal, and the message is delivered directly to your inbox to manage. The work order management system in Rentec Direct lets you assign vendors, attach photos, contact owners, and attach bids or invoices for reference and approval.

What Can Property Owners See in the Owner Portal?

Give your owners access to valuable property data through the Owner Portal.

The Owner Portal allows a property manager to provide their owners with an online account, accessible via desktop or mobile, to view real-time property performance.

Owners can see simplified data of overall property performance, view files and attachments that you share with them, and see more detailed ledgers for their properties.

Each owner is given a unique login to view a personalized online account that only displays information relevant to their properties.

How Do Electronic Vendor Payments Work in Rentec Direct?

Use the vendor ACH payments tool to eliminate the need to print or write a check for a vendor invoice.

For less than the cost of a stamp, the Vendor ACH Payment tool allows Rentec Direct clients to electronically transfer payments to their vendors. Your funds are securely transferred from your business bank account to your vendor’s bank, without needing to manually write a check. It’s the same secure online payment system your tenants use to pay rent online.

The Vendor ACH Payment tool goes beyond transferring funds; your accounting will also be automated. Rentec Direct’s software will update your ledgers, track your funds electronically between accounts, and the vendor gets an automated email notifying them of the payment.

Can I Set Up Unlimited User Accounts with Custom Permissions?

Set up unlimited user accounts for your team to access the software securely.

Give your staff access to the features they need to perform their management tasks within your software. Multi-user accounts allow multiple people to access the same account with their own unique username and password. The primary account holder can also set detailed permissions or limitations for each user to only access information relevant to their work tasks or management portfolio.

Need to give a new staff member limited permissions to only post tenant payments? No problem! Need to give an accountant a read-only account? No problem! Rentec Direct provides the most powerful customizable account permissions system in the industry.

Can Rentec Direct Report Rent Payments to Credit Bureaus?

Report rent payments to the credit bureaus to help tenants boost their credit score.

Give your tenants a simple way to build their credit history and improve their credit score using Rentec Direct's built-in integration with RentReporters.

The RentReporters integration will automatically report your tenants' on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus, which improves their credit score while simultaneously providing incentive to pay rent on time.
