Definitely consider an option that allows you to achieve all of these steps in one place (ie. keep track of things like rent payments + leases, but it also offers several other tools as well -- the ability for tenants to build a credit score up to 40+ points for on-time rent payments with our CreditBoost feature; which can be enticing for them as they are new student renters); and lastly offers maintenance ticket tracking with automated messaging).
