The Maintenance Workflow

Step 1

Tenant texts a problem

Tenant sends a message about a maintenance issue — text, photo, or both — to your Rentros business number.

Step 2

AI auto-tags it

Rentros detects the maintenance request and auto-tags it by category (Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, etc.) and priority.

Step 3

One click to create a work order

Convert the message into a structured work order with all relevant details pre-filled from the tenant's profile.

Step 4

Assign to a contractor

Choose from your saved contractor contacts. Send them the work order details via text or email directly from Rentros.

Step 5

Track progress

Update status as work progresses: Pending → In Progress → Completed. Everything is timestamped.

Step 6

Notify the tenant

Send the tenant a status update directly from the message thread. Full communication loop, closed.
