At Century 21 Newcastle, we understand that managing rental properties involves constant communication between tenants, landlords, and property managers. From maintenance requests to tenancy queries, tenants need quick access to information, while landlords want assurance that their properties are well looked after. That's why for serveral years, we've implemented the Tapi Tenant Concierge Chatbot—a smart, 24/7 digital assistant designed to enhance the rental experience for both tenants and landlords.
By integrating this innovative technology into our property management services, we've made it easier for tenants to get the support they need while reducing unnecessary disruptions for landlords.
How the Tapi Tenant Concierge Chatbot Works
Each property under our management is assigned a unique QR code, which is programmed specifically for that address. As part of our commitment to a seamless rental experience, our property managers place a QR code sticker inside the kitchen cabinet (under the sink) of every managed home.
This simple but effective system allows tenants to:
- Quickly scan the QR code using their mobile phones.
- Access a personalised Home Page with their tenancy details.
- Log maintenance requests instantly without needing to log in or sign up.
- Receive real-time updates on the status of their requests.
By providing this on-the-spot solution, we ensure that tenants can report maintenance issues as soon as they arise, without the hassle of searching for contact details or waiting for office hours.
Key Features of the Tapi Tenant Concierge Chatbot
1. Easy Access via QR Codes
With the pre-programmed QR code sticker placed in the kitchen, tenants always have a direct link to their property's maintenance system. There's no need to call or email; they simply scan and submit their request in seconds.
2. 24/7 Maintenance Reporting & Troubleshooting
Maintenance issues don't always happen during business hours, and not every problem requires an immediate callout. The Tapi Tenant Concierge Chatbot helps tenants troubleshoot common issues before escalating them, ensuring that only necessary maintenance requests reach landlords.
For example, if a tenant reports a power outage, the chatbot might suggest checking the circuit breaker before arranging for an electrician. This prevents unnecessary emergency callouts and saves landlords from avoidable expenses.
3. Landlord Approval on All Maintenance Requests
At Century 21 Newcastle, we believe in keeping landlords in control of their properties. That's why no maintenance work is actioned without explicit landlord approval.
- Every maintenance request includes photos, videos, and detailed descriptions for the landlord to review.
- Landlords can approve or decline requests at their convenience, ensuring they are always in the loop.
- A timestamped digital record is maintained for transparency.
4. Reduced Tenant Calls and Emails
By giving tenants instant access to information via their Home Page, we reduce the number of inquiries our property managers receive. Tenants no longer need to contact us for simple queries, as they can find answers in seconds.
5. Real-Time Visibility of Repair Requests
Instead of tenants repeatedly following up on maintenance requests, the chatbot provides real-time updates on the status of their reported issues. This improves communication and tenant satisfaction while allowing property managers to focus on high-priority tasks.
6. A Digital Home Page for Every Tenant
The chatbot provides a dedicated Home Page where tenants can:
- Access essential tenancy information.
- Submit maintenance requests.
- View the status of previous requests.
- Contact relevant support services.
