Tenant Pictures & Social Networking Tenant Data
Keeping your tenants' photos up to date is easy. You can have your software automatically pull profile images from tenants' and prospects' social media accounts, or upload photos yourself—whatever works best for you.
Once updated, your Tenant List will be filled with photos of your current tenants, helping you put a face to your renters' names and personalize your manager-renter relationships.

Software Tip: Need to flag a tenant so it stands out to you and all your staff? Maybe the tenant is undergoing eviction. Upload an image like this eviction notice as the tenant image, and they will have an unmistakable eviction sticker next to their name on your tenant list.
