Automatic Email Notifications

Your Rentec Direct property management software is designed to save you time with automated emails to tenants for important notifications: 

  • Send Overdue Emails will email your tenant once per week when their account is overdue.
  • Send Recurring Charge Emails will email your tenant any time an automatic recurring charge is posted to their ledger, such as their rent charge.
  • Send Charge Emails will email your tenant any time a new manual charge is posted to their ledger. 
  • Send Payment Emails will email your tenant upon any payment or credit posted to their account, such as an online rent payment or a rental concession.
  • Send Workorder Emails will email your tenant when workorders viewable by the tenant are completed.
