See Exactly Where Every Dollar Goes
In conventional property management, “rent is paid” can be the end of the story. In affordable housing, that’s where the questions start:
Which part is the tenant shares? Which part is assistance? How much goes to utilities? Did credits apply correctly? Did we handle arrears and current charges in the right order?
Cloud Rental Manager is designed with that reality in mind. Instead of treating each payment as a single blob of money, it lets you define your categories—rent, utilities, program credits, other eligible costs—and automatically allocates each payment accordingly. You see the breakdown at the unit and household level, in plain language, every time.
No more guessing at month-end. No more manual re-entry. No more “I thought that part went to utilities.”
Collect Rent on the Go with Mobile Convenience
Affordable housing teams also work in the field, visiting properties, and meeting residents in person. Cloud Rental Manager ensures seamless payment of rent, even when you are away from the office. Managers can check balances, create payment transactions, send notifications, as well as monitor overdue amounts using any smartphone.
This flexibility ensures that rental payment processes remain consistent, organized, and efficient, ensuring that you don’t miss out on revenue, reduce follow ups, and maintain steady revenue flow while staying accessible to your community.
Payment Processing Powered by Host Merchant Services
Cloud Rental Manager doesn’t try to reinvent payment rails. Instead, it partners with Host Merchant Services, a full-service US payment processor that provides credit card and electronic payment processing for businesses across many industries.
What that means for you:
- You can accept card and electronic payments (including ACH) in a way that’s built for recurring, program-sensitive environments.
- You’re working with a provider known for transparent, education-focused pricing and strong customer support, not a faceless, ticket-only gateway.
- You don’t need to bolt on a separate processor or portal; payments and records stay connected to the same residents, units, and reports you manage daily.
File Compliant Inspections Directly from the Field
Compliance is critical in affordable housing, and Cloud Rental Manager helps you stay aligned with regulations effortlessly. Managers can perform inspections on-site using a mobile device, complete required checklists, upload photos or notes, and file reports instantly.
There’s no need to return to the office to enter data; everything syncs in real time. This ensures inspections are completed accurately, documented properly, and submitted on time, strengthening both compliance and operational efficiency.
Track Every Maintenance Request with Total Transparency
Maintenance plays a major role in resident satisfaction, especially in affordable housing communities. Cloud Rental Manager keeps every maintenance task organized; from the moment a request is submitted until the job is completed.
Managers can assign work orders, communicate with service providers, update tenants, and track progress step-by-step. This clear and accountable process results in faster repairs, fewer repeat issues, and a consistently safe, well-maintained living environment.
With Cloud Rental Manager, all of this can be solved in three easy steps:
Beginning
A resident submits a request (online or via staff), with photos and details.
Middle
Your team triages the issue, assigns a work order, and coordinates with vendors. Everyone can see who’s responsible and by when.
End
The vendor marks the job complete, you verify, and the resident sees that the work has been closed out.
What’s different is that the story stays visible:
- No “mystery tickets” that vanish.
- No residents asking the same question three times.
- No managers wondering what happened to that boiler or that leak.
Over time you build a maintenance history for each property, which informs future planning, budgets, and capital work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I show exactly how a tenant share versus subsidy was applied over the last six months?
Yes. Because allocations are structured and automatic, you can drill down into any household, see every payment, and how each dollar was split.
What about documentation for inspections and follow-up repairs?
Each inspection lives with the unit record, alongside photos and any related maintenance tickets. You never need to reconstruct the story from memory.
How do we prove we responded to issues promptly?
Timestamps on requests, assignments, and completions create a trail that demonstrates responsiveness and process.
Will staff need to be “tech experts” to manage this?
No. The system is designed for staff who know residents and properties deeply, not for people who love software. The tools are straightforward; the complexity lives behind the scenes.
Built to Support the Unique Needs of Affordable Housing
Cloud Rental Manager delivers a reliable, easy-to-use system for teams managing subsidized units, income-restricted housing, senior communities, or multi-program properties.
With tools designed for compliance, communication, inspections, and financial accuracy, it keeps your operations running smoothly while ensuring residents receive the support they deserve.
