Property Tree May Release

Rest Professional v18.5

Property Reminders

Never worry about running out of reminder space as you can now setup an unlimited number of Property Reminders to track & report on all the additional compliance items that property managers are expected to monitor with each legislation change.

Owner Consent for the Electronic Service of Notices and Documents

You can now report if an owner has consented to electronic service of documents. This will allow your owners contacts to be excluded from email communication when sending single or bulk emails, inspection letters from the Inspection Planner and when sending statements.

Westpac Live

Now you can pay creditors in bulk by BPay using your Westpac Live account.

Financial Hardship Notation

Now you can identify tenants who are experiencing financial hardship and renegotiated rent due to COVID-19. The new financial hardship notation will appear on the tenants ledger if you are entering a renegotiation due to financial hardship. You also have the option to create a customised name if preferred.
