Want to know if your tenant still owes money, or if the damage deposit is in place? Wondering why you received funds and if contractors and utility bills have been paid? Just log in for direct access to transactional data directly from the bank. Say goodbye to once-a-month statements forever! The PayProp Owner app is only available to owners of properties that are managed by property managers who use the PayProp rental payment automation platform. The app gives landlords a real-time data feed of transactions and actions affecting the management of their property or portfolio of properties. Because PayProp is bank-integrated, the payment data on the app represents actual transactional data, directly from bank files. This means no more waiting for monthly statements or accountants to see what happened on your property – or is happening right now! Simple and easy to navigate, owners can now draw transactional reports over any time period, to monitor funds received and paid out. They can also get real-time views of current tenant payment balances and of deposits held as security for the property. And with records of all payments made and received on the property, you’ll always have the peace-of-mind you deserve.
