Rently has unveiled two powerful integrations—CodeBox and Property Shield—that aim to simplify property management by enhancing self-guided tours and combating the rise of rental fraud. These new tools are designed to address two critical challenges property managers face: providing the flexibility renters demand and maintaining robust security in an increasingly complex leasing environment.
Self-guided tours have quickly become a staple in modern property management. According to recent industry data, 83% of prospective renters prefer self-guided tours, with 42% opting to view properties outside of standard business hours. Rently's integration with CodeBox enables property managers to offer this convenience while maximizing the use of existing CodeBox hardware.
This integration eliminates the need for new equipment, allowing property managers to keep costs down while taking advantage of Rently's advanced tools. The platform enhances security by verifying rental leads before granting access, reducing the risk of unauthorized visitors and providing a seamless experience for prospective tenants.
By making it easier to show properties on renters' schedules, the integration helps reduce vacancy times. Property managers can increase their leasing efficiency while giving renters the flexibility they expect in today's market. This innovative approach ensures that rental operations are more effective and secure.
The rise of rental fraud has been a significant pain point for property managers, with complaints about scams increasing by 45% over the past two years. Scammers are creating fake listings that not only deceive renters but also damage the reputations of legitimate property managers. Rently's integration with Property Shield provides a proactive solution to this growing problem.
The integration features Fake Listing Monitoring, a groundbreaking tool that scans more than 13 social media platforms hourly to detect fraudulent listings. Once identified, Property Shield works to remove these listings within 24 hours, minimizing the potential for financial losses and legal risks. The system also syncs listing details directly from property managers, creating a reliable source of truth and further reducing the likelihood of fraud.
Beyond protecting property managers, these security measures safeguard renters from scams that can result in lost deposits or personal safety risks. By ensuring that only legitimate listings are available, Rently's Property Shield fosters trust and confidence in the rental process.
These integrations mark the latest evolution in Rently's mission to deliver smart solutions that address every phase of the leasing cycle. By combining advanced self-guided touring capabilities with industry-leading fraud prevention tools, Rently provides property managers with a comprehensive platform to meet the demands of modern renters.
For property managers, these integrations mean fewer headaches and greater operational efficiency. With tools like CodeBox and Property Shield, they can focus on creating a better experience for renters while reducing the time and resources spent managing listings, tours, and security.
For renters, the benefits are clear. Flexible self-guided touring options allow prospective tenants to explore properties on their own terms, while advanced fraud prevention ensures a safer, more trustworthy leasing process. These features make it easier for renters to find their next home without the stress or uncertainty that often accompanies the search.
"Property managers face a big task in providing the touring flexibility that rental leads demand while facing an increasingly complex landscape of rental frauds and scams," said Merrick Lackner, Rently's CEO. "Our integrations with CodeBox and Property Shield provide greater flexibility and advanced security capabilities to customers, and are another milestone as Rently continues to deliver an innovative platform that automates every phase of the leasing cycle."
Rently's innovations reflect broader trends in the property management industry, where technology is playing an increasingly central role. Automation, smart access, and fraud prevention are no longer optional—they are essential for staying competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
By integrating CodeBox and Property Shield, Rently is helping property managers stay ahead of these trends. The platform not only improves day-to-day operations but also addresses long-term challenges, such as scaling operations and maintaining security as demand for rental housing grows.
Additionally, these tools align with the industry's push toward sustainability and efficiency. By enabling more streamlined processes and reducing the need for physical oversight, Rently helps property managers reduce their environmental footprint while boosting profitability.
For years, Rently has been a trusted partner for single-family and multifamily property managers looking to automate and optimize their leasing processes. The company's platform is known for its ability to streamline operations, enhance security, and drive higher net operating income (NOI).
With these new integrations, Rently further solidifies its position as a leader in proptech innovation. Property managers can trust that Rently's solutions are designed to meet their needs, whether they are looking to fill vacancies faster, protect against fraud, or deliver a superior rental experience.
