Overview

TenantDesk gives a lean property-management team a single operations desk for a residential portfolio. It triages every inbound maintenance request with AI — assigning a category and a priority and starting an SLA clock — tracks rent collection down to the unit, surfaces upcoming lease renewals, and matches the right licensed vendor to each job with a cost estimate. BuildspaceLabs designed and built the MVP front end — an Operations dashboard for portfolio triage and a per-work-order detail view for the property manager — turning a stream of tenant requests, rent ledgers and vendor data into a workflow a manager can run in minutes.
