To support property managers on the go, Rentec Direct has introduced a new adjustable zoom control setting that’s designed to improve readability, comfort, and efficiency wherever your day takes you.
New Custom Zoom Control Setting
A new zoom control is available in the mobile app settings and gives you more control over how information appears on your mobile screen. Whether you prefer a smaller compact view that shows more data at once or a larger view that’s easier to read, the new feature lets you fine-tune the display size for a more comfortable view and easier navigation without compromising quality.
Your mobile device will automatically default to a comfortable 115%, which works well for most devices. You can quickly customize the size to what’s most comfortable for you in the mobile app settings.
How Custom Zoom Settings Benefit Property Managers
The new zoom control makes managing properties from your phone or tablet more comfortable and efficient.

With this enhancement, you can:
- Increase or decrease the interface size without changing the layout
- Read text more comfortably at a glance
- Easily navigate your Rentec Direct account on any mobile device
Mobile property management depends on clear, easy-to-read information. An easy-to-view tenant screening report can help fill vacancies quickly. Clear photos of maintenance issues can help prioritize repairs, minimize damage, and save you money.
Overall, the zoom feature enhances clarity and usability across the mobile app. It’s ideal whether you check in briefly throughout the day or spend long hours managing properties, reviewing reports, communicating with tenants, or handling accounting tasks on the go.
Built Exclusively for the Rentec Direct Mobile App
The custom zoom setting was designed specifically for the Rentec Direct mobile app to improve scaling support and create a smoother, more consistent interface across all mobile devices. The zoom setting option appears only within the mobile app.
