Property management
AI for property management that handles the inbox, not the leasing decisions
A small property management company answers to two groups at once. Tenants email about leaks, parking, and late fees. Owners want to know what was spent on their building and why. Vendor invoices, rent reminders, and maintenance requests land in between, by email, text, and portal notification. TeamShift puts a team of AI workers on that traffic. They sort it, route maintenance to the right vendor once you approve, draft rent reminders and monthly owner updates, and keep vendor bills matched in QuickBooks. Screening, leases, and anything that touches fair housing stay with you.

Property management: the short answers
What can AI do for property management?
AI for property management earns its keep on the repeatable communication and paperwork. That means sorting tenant email by property and urgency, turning maintenance requests into vendor work orders, sending rent reminders on schedule, matching vendor invoices to jobs, and drafting monthly owner reports. Decisions about applicants, lease terms, deposits, and evictions belong with a person, because fair-housing and landlord-tenant rules apply. TeamShift holds every message to a tenant, owner, or vendor until you approve it.
Can it handle maintenance emergencies?
Not on its own. The Support worker can answer tenant calls and take the details, but it won't dispatch a vendor on the call, so keep your after-hours emergency line for real emergencies. Where it helps is the follow-through: it logs the request, drafts the vendor dispatch for your approval, checks that the job got closed out, and makes sure the invoice and the owner update reflect it.
Does it replace our property management software?
No. Your property management software stays the home for leases, ledgers, and the tenant portal. TeamShift works across the email, calendar, and accounting tools you connect in Company Brain, and you choose what it may read there. Its Digital Twin shows where each request, vendor job, and invoice stands, with a link back to the source message.

FAQ
Questions owners ask
Can it write vacancy ads?
Yes. The Content worker drafts listings from your unit details, and you review each one before it's published, including the fair-housing advertising language.
Will tenants know they are emailing an AI?
Replies go out from your own mailbox after you approve them, so you decide what gets sent and how it's worded.
Can it pay vendors?
No payment moves without your approval. The Finance worker prepares bills and matches them to jobs, and you release the payment.
How many doors does it work for?
There's no per-door or per-seat price. You pay for the work done, and each job is quoted with a maximum before it starts.
