tenant_summaryTenants can login using their own username and password and view limited details about their account.  This reduced screenshot shows the summary screen that a tenant who is Overdue would see.  A paid up account would see their next payment due date, and the amount due.

Additionally tenants can review their statement, and make minor setting changes, such as email address updates, and email receipt preferences.

To use this feature, login and edit the tenant you wish to have access and check ‘Enable’ on Tenant Portal.  Be sure you have an email filled in for the tenant as this will be their username, and the password will be their password for accessing the portal.  If you leave the password blank, the system will automatically generate a random password for you.

Tenants access the portal by visiting http://www.rentecdirect.com/ and clicking Login, or directly by going to http://www.rentecdirect.com/tenants/

In the future, for landlords who have merchant services or electronic draft enabled for their tenants, tenants will be able to make rent payments directly from this interface.

The REI Brain has recently completed a review of Rentec Direct as well.  The video review is attached here, and the complete review can be seen here.

Special thanks to Trevor and thereibrain team from the Rentec Team.
