The Challenge: Managing Tenant Requests Manually

Property managers have a lot on their plates—from handling maintenance requests and lease renewals to tenant communication and rent collection. Many firms still rely on manual processes, phone calls, and scattered spreadsheets, leading to missed maintenance issues, slow response times, and tenant dissatisfaction.

Without an efficient system to track and automate tenant and maintenance requests, property managers spend more time on administrative work and less time on strategic property management.

The solution? Zoho CRM + Zoho Forms: A centralised, automated solution for property management.

How Zoho CRM & Zoho Forms Simplify Property Management

By integrating Zoho CRM and Zoho Forms, property managers can automate tenant requests, track maintenance progress, and provide real-time updates, improving both efficiency and tenant satisfaction.

1. Automating Tenant Requests with Online Forms

• Use Zoho Forms to create custom tenant request forms for:
• Maintenance issues (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.)
• Lease renewal requests
• General inquiries

How It Works:
1. Tenants fill out a simple online request form on the property management website.
2. Requests are automatically logged into Zoho CRM and assigned to the appropriate team.
3. Property managers receive instant alerts, ensuring no requests are missed.

Example: A tenant submits a maintenance request for a leaking pipe. Instead of calling or emailing, they fill out an online form that auto-generates a support ticket in Zoho CRM, instantly notifying the maintenance team.

2. Auto-Assigning & Tracking Maintenance Requests

• Zoho CRM automates maintenance request ticketing, tracking, and resolution, ensuring a structured and transparent process.
• Assign requests to the right contractor or maintenance personnel automatically.
• Send real-time updates to tenants via email or SMS when their request status changes.
• Track all pending and completed maintenance tasks in one dashboard.

Example: Instead of manually coordinating with contractors, Zoho CRM auto-assigns each maintenance request to the appropriate vendor. Tenants receive updates on their requests without calling the office.

3. Improving Lease Renewals & Tenant Communication

• Automate lease renewal reminders and send scheduled notifications via Zoho CRM.
• Use Zoho Sign to allow tenants to digitally sign lease agreements, reducing paperwork.
• Set up chatbots or email workflows to handle tenant inquiries instantly.

Example: A property management firm uses Zoho CRM to send automatic renewal notices 90 days before lease expiration, allowing tenants to sign the renewal digitally via Zoho Sign. No more back-and-forth paperwork!

Case Study: How a Property Management Firm Reduced Response Times

The Problem:

• Tenants submitted maintenance requests via phone or email, causing delays and miscommunication.

✅ Lease renewals moved online – Tenants received automated renewal notices with e-signature options.

The Results:

• Tenant satisfaction improved due to real-time request updates.
• More efficient lease renewals, reducing admin workload and paperwork.
