What Tenant Portal Starter does
A tenant portal your residents actually use and you actually own: rent payment through your Stripe account, maintenance requests with photos, documents, and messaging — with zero per-unit SaaS fees, forever.
Example: a 220-unit operator replaces a $2.50/unit/month platform ($6,600/yr) with their own portal. Rent hits their Stripe directly, maintenance tickets route to their team, and the only ongoing cost is ~$40/month of AWS.
What you get
- Tenant portal with rent payment (via your Stripe), maintenance requests, and document access
- Resident directory and messaging
- Admin dashboard for your operations team
- AWS-hosted — no per-unit or per-user fees
- 30 days post-launch support
