Main Highlights

People have been asking for rent review dates for quite a while. It could be done before with notes, but now it is much easier with automatic rent review dates and review reminders. You set the next review date on the tenant details screen. On the options screen you can specify automatic rent reviews every X number of days. The Events screen automatically shows tenants whose rent review is due within the next 30 days. From there you can choose to defer the review, choose to leave the rent as it is this year, or create a new rent change.

The other feature people have been asking for is property inspection pictures online on the www.RentRecall.com web site so the property owners can see the state of their properties. This is now available.
