Yardi, a provider of AI-powered real estate software, announced a new resident services bundle to help property managers enhance the resident experience. The bundle, named Resident Services by ResidentShield, enables residents to sign up for essential services directly through their RentCafe resident portal using a built-in checklist that guides renters through the move-in process. Through this initiative, residents will only have to use one app to activate essential services after moving in.
“Our mission has always been to help our clients provide exceptional resident experiences, and the move-in process plays an important role in delivering that experience,” said Akshai Rao, president of residential at Yardi. “Resident Services by ResidentShield will streamline one of the key touchpoints in the resident journey, making the move-in process effortless for leasing agents and residents.”
Yardi has also announced plans to launch a resident rewards program that includes free rent reporting from a partnership with IDIQ. This initiative will help residents build credit from on-time payments and is at no additional cost to property managers and operators. The program is set to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
Through the resident services bundle, Yardi clients can enable the following in the RentCafe resident portal: simple security deposit alternative, comprehensive renters insurance, flexible rent payments, high-speed Wi-Fi connection, fair and fixed power plans and complimentary rent reporting
