6 Apps Every Renter Should Have

In 2018 there are so many ways to make living in a rental unit easier. In addition to access to Appfolio for managing rent payments and communicating with our main office, we recommend that our tenants check out a few of these apps that will make their lives even easier.

Task Rabbit

Need an extra pair of hands to help you pack, assemble furniture, or do yard work at your rental unit? Task Rabbit connects you to skilled local help. All Taskers must undergo extensive background and identity checks, and each task covers up to $1 million in property damage.

Encircle

The first thing you should do after signing up for renters insurance is conduct a home inventory in case you ever need to make a claim.
