Development of a Digital Rental Management Platform with Integrated Tenant Screening and Service Subscription Features

The traditional rental process is fragmented, requiring tenants to navigate multiple platforms and manual steps, leading to inefficiencies and delays. There is a need for a comprehensive digital solution that can conduct upfront financial screenings, facilitate seamless property viewings through appointment scheduling, enable prospective tenants to rank their preferences for fair matching, and allow tenants to subscribe to essential home services directly within the platform. Additionally, landlords and service providers require a centralized management interface to oversee applications, preferences, and service offerings, with scalability to onboard additional partners and expand market reach.
