What You Should Know
Rentalize is a general-purpose property management platform. It handles properties, tenancies, maintenance, compliance, and applicant screening. There is no dedicated student accommodation vertical. The fit for student housing is through configuring standard properties and tenancies for fixed-term academic year lets, using the applicant pipeline for student screening, and relying on the maintenance and compliance engines for ongoing operations.
- No PBSA bed-level inventory or room allocation
- No academic-year rent rules or term-date automation
- No student-specific portal or university integration
- No shared-room or bed-space billing splits

USE CASE
Managing the Academic Year Cycle
Student housing operates on predictable cycles. Each September brings a new intake. Each June brings departures. Rentalize handles this through standard fixed-term tenancies configured for your academic year dates. The applicant pipeline in Select manages inbound applications. The compliance engine ensures every unit meets safety standards before move-in day.
- Create fixed-term tenancies aligned to September start dates
- Process applicant batches through Select's screening pipeline
- Run compliance checks across all units before each intake
- Log and resolve maintenance tickets throughout the year
- Track rent collection and arrears per tenant, per building
