In your Rentec Direct account:

1. Click on Settings
2. Under Tools, click on Utilities
3. Click on API Keys
4. Under zInspector, click on Create Key
5. Click on the copy icon to save the key to your clipboard

4. Click on the Add/Change link button
5. Paste your API Key and click on OK

Click 'Sync' to import properties from your Rentec Direct account into zInspector.

Completing these steps will automatically synchronize your zInspector account with your Rentec Direct property data. Click on the Properties tab in your zInspector to see a current list of your properties.

System Notes:

• Any time you add a property, archive a property, increase the number of bedrooms, or make any other changes to your property information in your Rentec Direct account, the changes will automatically be reflected in zInpsector the next time you log in.
• You will also have the option to manually enter property data into zInspector or upload a spreadsheet.

Property Types in zInspector

You will be able to search for and identify single-family homes and multi-family properties with individual units listed, making it easy to complete move-in and move-out inspections.

For multi-family properties, you will also notice a Common section where you can add shared areas, building exterior, roof, etc., for areas that need to be inspected.

Syncing Tenants and Properties

Properties and Tenants will automatically be synced with your zInspector and Rentec Direct software integration. Information linked to tenants in your Rentec Direct account will be used in the inspection and communication process. Any changes made to your Rentec Direct account will be automatically updated in zInspector.

Information from the tenant profile can be helpful for tracking their progress in their tenancy, allowing you to conduct and track time-appropriate inspections. A tenant's move-in, move-out, and Lease dates can help you anticipate required inspections, such as:

• Annual inspections
• Lease Renewal
• Security Deposit-related

Through zInspector, communicate with tenants to:

• Invited to perform their own inspection
• Remotely sign an inspection report
• Receive an emailed copy of an inspection report 

System Notes:

• If there is no valid email address in the tenant's profile, a temporary email address will be automatically populated in zInspector with the format ________@noemail.com.
• Click here for details on how to edit a tenant's information to update the email address in your Rentec Direct account Edit Tenants, Properties, Banking and Owners
• Click here for details on how to update a Move In date and Lease dates in your Rentec Direct account Update a lease
