Work Order Assignment and Tracking
Property managers can assign work orders to internal maintenance staff or external vendors directly within RentPost. Each work order moves through a trackable workflow with clear status updates, so nothing gets overlooked and managers always know the current state of every open request.
Centralised Communication Between Tenants and Vendors
RentPost keeps all maintenance-related communication in one place. Tenants, managers, and vendors can exchange messages tied directly to the relevant work order, eliminating scattered email chains and ensuring that everyone involved has access to the same information throughout the repair process.
Maintenance Expense Tracking
Managers can log costs associated with each work order, creating a clear record of repair expenses by unit, property, or vendor. This data feeds directly into RentPost’s accounting system, making it easy to track maintenance spend, reconcile invoices, and report costs accurately to property owners. You can even attach invoices and receipt documents directly to the expense.
Photos and Documents
With maintenance requests, tenants and managers can add photos directly to the work order. In addition, each work order has its own associated document storage. This is useful for any supporting documents you may have related to a repair.
Document Storage
Tightly integrated into virtually all aspects of your workflows, documents serve to complement your processes and live next to everything that's relevant - no more fishing around for docs.
Store all of your relevant documents, with virtually any entity, for fast accessibility and lookup.
Share documents with tenants and owners, so they can view them within their account.
View documents directly in the app, no download required. Only download if you need.
Rename them, regroup them, trash them, and even restore from the trash. Documents are integral - we thought they should be extremely easy to access and organize.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does property management maintenance software do?
Property management maintenance software centralises the full maintenance process from tenant request submission through work order completion. It allows managers to assign tasks, track progress, communicate with vendors, log expenses, and maintain a complete repair history for every unit and property, all from one platform.
How does property management maintenance software streamline maintenance request management?
It replaces phone calls, emails, and paper logs with a single digital system. Tenants submit requests online, managers receive them instantly, and work orders move through a defined workflow with status tracking. Everyone involved stays informed through automated notifications, reducing delays and the manual follow-up required in unorganised systems.
Can tenants submit maintenance requests online with photos and supporting documents?
Yes. Tenants submit maintenance requests through their RentPost portal and can include messages and supporting details with each submission. This gives property managers the context they need to assess urgency and assign the right vendor or staff member without making additional calls to gather basic information about the issue.
How can property managers assign work orders to vendors and maintenance teams?
Within RentPost, managers can assign work orders directly to vendors or internal maintenance staff from the work order management interface. Vendor profiles are stored in the contact management system, making assignment straightforward. All parties can communicate and track updates through the platform rather than through separate channels.
Does the software provide a centralised communication system for tenants, vendors, and property managers?
Yes. RentPost keeps all maintenance communication tied to the relevant work order. Tenants, managers, and vendors exchange messages within the platform, creating a complete and searchable communication record for every request. This prevents important details from being lost across multiple email threads or phone conversations.
Can I customise maintenance workflows and work order statuses to match my business processes?
Yes. RentPost offers flexibility to configure work order workflows and statuses to reflect how your team manages maintenance. This means the system adapts to your existing processes rather than requiring your team to change how they work to fit a rigid default structure.
How does property management maintenance software help track maintenance expenses and repair costs?
RentPost allows managers to log costs against each work order as repairs are completed. These expenses are connected to the accounting system, giving managers accurate cost data by unit, property, or vendor. This makes it easy to track total maintenance spend, prepare owner statements, and identify properties with disproportionately high repair costs over time.
