What is tenant management software?

  • Maintenance requests
  • Communication 

Using a platform like Preferental means no more paper trails, endless WhatsApp messages, or late payments. Everything happens in one easy-to-use dashboard.

 

The benefits of using tenant management software

Save time with automated processes

Managing rentals manually eats up time. With Preferental’s system, you can automate rent reminders, lease renewals, and even tenant communication. This allows you to focus on growing your investment portfolio, not just maintaining it.

Reduce risk with better tenant screening

The wrong tenant can cost you more than a missed payment. Preferental’s tenant management software includes automated tenant screening, giving you access to credit checks, employment verification, and past rental history. You get reliable tenants every time.

Streamline rent collection

No more chasing payments or standing in long bank queues. The platform automates rent collection and sends reminders directly to tenants. Funds go straight to your account, securely and on time.
