 RentPro Hints & Tips
This page will evolve over the coming weeks and months to feature a host of hints and tips to get the best out of your RentPro investment. In the meantime, if you have uncovered any helpful time-saving tricks along the way, then please drop us an email at info@rentpro.co.uk and we'll feature them in this list, along with a credit to you and your company if appropriate.
1. Find suppliers easily
Ensure that you've set the Trade field for your various suppliers. By doing this you can use the Quick Search toolbar to easily locate plumbers, electricians, etc. by simply supplying the trade name as a search string.
2. Print vacant property lists
You can generate a PDF printer-friendly list of all vacant properties to distribute to prospective tenants, saving time on answering the same questions all the time about availability. From the reports menu choose Alerts -> Vanancy Report. The resulting screen has a Vacancy Report button in the top-right which will generate a PDF document with summary details and photos of all available properties.
3. Reduce spent on admin tasks by giving your landlords access to RentPro
One of the great features of RentPro is the ability to give access to your landlords. By doing this you’ll save admin time as landlords will be able to generate their own rent reports and landlord statements. They’ll also see up-to-date progress on property repairs and viewing schedules – if one of their properties happens to be vacant. Of course, a landlord’s access to RentPro is restricted to the properties that they own and is read-only. To create a landlord account select the Admin -> User Accounts menu option (available to admin users only), click on the “Add User” button and ensure that you allocate an access level of "Landlord".
4. Quick Search
You can quickly locate landlords, properties, tenants and suppliers via RentPro’s Quick Search facility. Simply enter a name, partial address, phone number or email into the area at the top centre of the screen and click on the “Search” button. From the matching results you can view details by clicking on the relevant item.
While these hints and tips are useful for getting that extra bit of mileage out of the software, they'll be no substitute for a firm understanding of the way the package works.
