Tenant Messaging

Messaging Questions

Know What
Happens Next.

Who can get text messages?

Renters with a phone number on file who agreed to get texts. The first text explains how to opt out, and a renter who replies STOP stops getting texts. Email and the portal inbox stay available.

Does Draft with AI send anything?

No. It fills the composer with a suggested reply. Check the renter, rental, dates and attachments, then choose Send yourself. AI features are available on paid landlord plans; compare plans and fees.

Can renters start a group conversation?

No. You create groups and manage members. Members are email-verified renters on an active lease, and they can reply or leave the group. Keep payment, screening, medical and other private matters in one-to-one threads.

Is Message all tenants a group chat?

No. Each renter gets their own copy by email and in their portal thread, and replies come back to you one to one.

What does Export conversation include?

The printable copy reflects the conversation as stored, including deletion labels and available attachment links. It does not capture outside communication or prove that a recipient received, read or agreed to a message.

Is this for prospects or existing tenants?

Both share the same inbox. For inquiries about available rentals, explore the AI Leasing Inbox.
