This Application will be primarily used to manage all the short term and long term rental transactions for each of the apartment buildings managed under an Apartment Management company. This application is aimed to cater to the needs of both the Owner and the tenant to manage apartments and apply for apartments respectively.
The software is divided into three main sections.
1)TENANTS Tenants section is meant to offer information regarding tenants’ lease contracts and payments.
2)OWNERS Owners section is a simple portal for the owners to check the status of their properties along with the payments and revenues.
3)ADMINS Portal for properties’ administrators. In this section the admin can add properties to the portfolio, manage lease contracts/rents, payments, owners and tenants. All the users (tenants and owners) are created by the administrator.
