Resolve issues before they escalate
Prioritized work orders and clear ownership move urgent repairs forward while they are still manageable.
Maintenance management
Turn maintenance requests into completed work without chaos.
A tenant reports a leak on WhatsApp, the caretaker forwards it hours later, and nobody knows if a vendor was assigned — until the repair bill arrives.
LetRents turns every maintenance request into a tracked work order with priority, assignee, status, and cost history — so issues move forward instead of circulating in chat threads.
The challenge
Maintenance fails quietly — until a small issue becomes an expensive emergency
In Kenyan rental operations, maintenance requests arrive through calls, WhatsApp, caretakers, and walk-ins. Without a shared workflow, urgent jobs wait behind unclear priorities and tenants lose confidence long before the repair is finished.
Requests get lost between the caretaker’s phone and the office team that assigns vendors.
Nobody can tell which jobs are open, in progress, or waiting for parts.
Photos, notes, and cost details from past repairs are impossible to find when the same issue returns.
Tenants repeat the same complaint because status updates never reach them.
Property managers discover maintenance spend only when invoices show up at month-end.
Emergency repairs cost more because preventive issues were never tracked properly.
Issue intake
Capture requests with the context vendors actually need
- What you do
- Log maintenance issues with unit, tenant, description, and photos when they are reported.
- What happens automatically
- LetRents attaches each request to the tenant and property record, creating a work order your team can assign immediately.
- Business benefit
- Urgent jobs stop getting buried in chat threads, and every issue starts with the details required to fix it.
Work order tracking
Know what is open, assigned, and overdue
- What you do
- Assign vendors or caretakers and set priority based on urgency and impact.
- What happens automatically
- Status updates, notes, and timestamps build a live history on the work order as repairs move forward.
- Business benefit
- Managers spend less time chasing updates and more time preventing small issues from becoming expensive failures.
Cost and history
Close jobs with records that help next time
- What you do
- Record completion notes, final costs, and vendor details when work is done.
- What happens automatically
- Service history stays on the unit and tenant record, so recurring faults are visible before they repeat.
- Business benefit
- Maintenance spend becomes analyzable, tenant trust improves, and repeat issues cost less to manage.
The resolution workflow
From tenant report to completed repair
Faster resolution is not about more messages. It is about one visible path every request follows.
- 1
Tenant or staff logs the issue once
The request is captured with unit context, description, photos, and priority — attached to the right tenant and property immediately.
- 2
Manager assigns and prioritizes work
Caretakers, vendors, or internal staff receive clear ownership instead of ambiguous “someone should handle this” messages.
- 3
Status moves forward with evidence
Notes, photos, parts costs, and completion updates stay on the work order as the job progresses.
- 4
Tenant gets closure, not silence
Status changes and completion notes give tenants confidence the issue was handled — reducing repeat complaints.
- 5
Cost history feeds portfolio decisions
Repair spend stays on record by property and unit, helping managers spot recurring problems and control maintenance budgets.
What faster resolution delivers
Less chaos. More completed work. Happier tenants.
Reduce repeat complaints from poor communication
Tenants see progress because status and completion notes live on the request — not in someone’s inbox.
Cut time spent chasing caretakers and vendors
Managers work from one queue of open, assigned, and completed jobs instead of reconstructing updates manually.
Understand maintenance spend by property
Repair costs and service history accumulate on record — helping you budget smarter and spot problem units early.
