Elevate tenant communication with Chat

Written by Joe Jarvis | Oct 13, 2023 9:37:38 AM

In today's property management landscape, effective communication is non-negotiable.

Our recent tenant survey found that 57% of tenants value good communication and responsiveness from their landlord. Almost a third also stated that their current landlord wasn’t delivering on this.

That’s why we’ve developed Chat, a tool designed to streamline tenant-landlord interactions. Accessible on both desktop or mobile, Chat simplifies communication by making it safer, more targeted and more dynamic.

Forget about juggling multiple channels like email and WhatsApp – Chat offers a consolidated, tenant-focused approach. 

Unlocking the power of community through Chainels Chat 

  • Efficient communicationChat offers tenants a direct line of communication with property managers, neighbours, and community managers. This direct connection can help address concerns and questions more quickly, leading to a more responsive and efficient property management process.

  • Enhanced community engagementPlanning events, activities, and initiatives that bring tenants together has never been easier. With Chat, you can create groups and facilitate real-time communication, making it simple to engage tenants in the shared experience of community living. Whether it's a potluck dinner, a neighbourhood watch initiative, or a book club, Chat makes it easy to organise and communicate with fellow tenants

  • Seamless information disseminationKeeping tenants informed about important updates, discounts, policies, or items for sale is essential for a well-functioning community. Chat acts as an alternative channel to ensure that vital information reaches all tenants, bridging any communication gaps that may exist through other channels. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and involved in community activities.

What sets Chainels’ Chat module apart?

  • Privacy and security—Unlike platforms that require phone number sharing, Chainels Chat safeguards your privacy. No need to disclose phone numbers, ensuring professional communication without personal data exposure.

  • Effortless file sharing—Sharing documents, such as rental contracts and invoices, is a breeze within the app. Chainels Chat streamlines document exchange, making it convenient for both property managers and tenants.

  • Control over notifications—Chat empowers users with control over their interactions, letting them opt-in or opt-out of receiving messages. For those opting in, the system sends email reminders after an hour of non-response (this is optional).
