Frequently Asked Questions
When should we start resident communications?
Start in October with a simple “how and when to pay” message, then follow up in late November and mid-December.
What’s the fastest way to reduce call volume?
Set clear deadlines, share step-by-step payment instructions, and use our Resident Engagement templates to keep your messages consistent. Then make paying easy: put Quick Pay at the top of your homepage and on your portal login page, add QR codes to statements, and promote autopay. Owners who can pay without calling won’t call.
What payment methods are supported?
Credit/debit and ACH (depending on your configuration). Confirm the methods you plan to accept before sending resident communications.
Where can I get help live?
Register for a training session. Our support team is also available during normal business hours.
