Rent Payment

Always super super super easy. This is the best way that I’ve EVER been able to pay rent! I love it!!!

Too many clicks

There could be a few less clicks to get things done. And the priorities for maintenance requests need work.

User-friendly

User friendly app with an easy to understand interface. Can easily update billing I mean it’s a difficult actually to remove the old baking information. Maybe that’s the only critique I would have otherwise it’s been a great.
