Notifications and unread messages

The tenant portal does not send chat notifications, and there are no visual indicators such as message counters or unread badges. Check Chat periodically for new messages from your property manager.

When to use Chat vs maintenance requests

Use Chat for: General questions (e.g., pool hours, lease questions) and quick updates (e.g., “I’ll be away next week”).

Use Maintenance for: Repairs, leaks, broken appliances, or HVAC issues.

Tip: If it needs a repair or a visit, use Maintenance. For everything else, use Chat.
