Annual Review & Rent Appraisal

Q: Can I customize the rent increase calculation rules?

Yes. You configure the rules that determine recommended rent increases based on market conditions, tenant history, property condition, and other factors that matter to your business.

Q: Do I still need to review and approve appraisals before sending them to tenants?

Yes. Automation generates the reports and routes them to your operations manager for final review and approval.

Q: What happens to appraisals that need changes or corrections?

Your team reviews the automated reports and can request revisions. The system tracks feedback and updates reports accordingly before final approval and tenant notification.

About This Automation

Annual rent appraisals require property managers to manually gather tenant data from multiple systems, research market comparables, and draft detailed reports. This fragmented workflow creates delays, inconsistencies, and repeated data entry across spreadsheets and documents.

Automation extracts tenant and property data automatically, compiles market research, calculates recommended rent increases, and generates appraisal reports ready for review. The process moves from weeks to days while eliminating manual errors.

Key features:

Extract tenant and property data automatically from your property management system

Compile market comparable data from public rental databases and sources

Calculate recommended rent increases based on configurable rules and market conditions

Generate formatted appraisal reports with all supporting data and analysis

Route completed appraisals to operations managers for review and approval

Prepare tenant notification templates with approved rent amounts

5. Generate Appraisal Report

Automation creates a formatted appraisal report for each property, including tenant data, market comparables, and recommended rent.

Automation sends a notification to the operations manager with a summary of all appraisals and a link to the reports for final review.
