Best Practices

Brand tenant emails with the property name, not your platform name

Send maintenance updates at every status change — silence creates anxiety

Start lease renewal conversations 90 days before expiry

Include next payment date in every rent receipt

Keep tenant emails simple — not everyone is tech-savvy

Common Mistakes

Branding tenant emails with your platform name instead of the property name

Only updating tenants when maintenance is complete, not during the process

Sending lease renewal reminders too late (less than 30 days before expiry)

Missing the confirmation number in payment receipts

Not differentiating between property manager and tenant email tones

Personalization Tips

Tenant emails represent the property, not your platform

The most important rule in PropTech email: tenants don't care about your software. They care about their building. Every tenant-facing email should be branded with the property name, not your platform name. This builds trust and keeps the communication feeling natural.

Save your platform branding for property manager-facing emails where it makes sense.

Maintenance communication prevents support tickets

The #1 source of tenant frustration is feeling ignored about maintenance requests. An automated status update at every stage — received, assigned, scheduled, in progress, completed — dramatically reduces follow-up calls and emails. It also makes property managers look more responsive, which is a selling point for your platform.

Lease renewals are revenue protection

A vacant unit is expensive. Automated lease renewal reminders starting 90 days before expiry give property managers the maximum window to retain tenants or find replacements. For your platform, driving on-time renewals through automation is one of the clearest ROI metrics you can demonstrate.
