Tenant Connect Launches Remote Inspection App for Landlords

Sydney, Australia - September 12, 2024

InspectingSmart has unveiled Tenant Connect, an innovative mobile app designed to address the core challenges faced by Self-Managing Landlords in maintaining their valuable property investments. Available now for free download and use on iOS and Android phones, Tenant Connect introduces patent-pending technology that allows "mum-and-dad" investors to conduct thorough, remote property inspections via HD video calls with tenants.

"The heart of Tenant Connect is about giving Self-Managing Landlords the ability to care for their investments thoroughly and easily, even when they can't physically be there," said Tim Morris, CEO of InspectingSmart. "We understand the stress of not being able to regularly check on a property you've invested so much in. Tenant Connect bridges that gap, allowing landlords to maintain open, trusting relationships with tenants while protecting their assets."

The launch comes amid increasing focus on rental legislation across Australia, with governments prioritising fair and transparent tenancy practices. A recent incident in Canberra, where a couple was awarded damages after a real estate agent entered their bedroom unannounced during an inspection, highlights the critical need for respectful, transparent inspection processes.

Tenant Connect addresses major pain points for Self-Managing Landlords, including:

• Inability to physically visit properties regularly
• Awkwardness of in-person tenant interactions
• Lack of thorough documentation and inspection history
• Scheduling conflicts for upcoming routine inspections
• Difficulty attracting and retaining quality tenants

How Tenant Connect helps Self-Managing Landlords:

Remote property inspections: Conduct thorough inspections via HD video calls without needing to visit the property in person.

Ease of interaction: Minimize the awkwardness of in-person interactions with tenants.

Comprehensive documentation: Maintain detailed records and a clear inspection history.

Simplified scheduling: Avoid conflicts by scheduling routine inspections that work for both landlords and tenants.

Attract and retain quality tenants: Offer a professional and respectful inspection process, which can help in attracting and retaining tenants.

Tenant Connect also helps landlords keep their properties occupied and income-generating. By enabling remote inspections, the app helps to ensure properties are always in market-ready condition - a crucial advantage in today's tight rental market.

"As more Australian property investors opt to self-manage, it's crucial they have tools that match the efficiency of large property management firms," Morris explained. "Tenant Connect not only saves time and money but also promotes sustainable practices by offering remote inspections that eliminate the need for travel and paperwork."

Key features of Tenant Connect include:

• HD video streaming for remote inspections
• Landlord-tenant screen mirroring for full transparency
• Complete historic issue pop-up when reviewing a previously inspected feature
• Automated scheduling and reminders
• Secure cloud storage of inspection history

"We're so confident in Tenant Connect's ability to transform property management that we're offering it completely free to use for a limited time," Morris added. "This isn't just an app; it's a new standard for property inspections in the digital age."

The launch of Tenant Connect aligns with lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic about the importance of remote solutions in property management. It supports government initiatives for fair tenancy practices while giving Self-Managing Landlords the tools they need to protect their investments and maintain good relationships with tenants.

Tenant Connect is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For more information, visit tenantconnect.com.au
