The Problem
Best-practice collections starts with a friendly day-3 call. But onsite staff are busy with leasing and corporate collections is buried — so day-3 calls get skipped.
Some properties offer payment plans aggressively; others never do. Bad debt outcomes vary wildly as a result.
Resident moves out owing $2K; no one calls; the balance sits in collections; eventually written off.
By the time legal eviction starts, you've lost 3-6 months of rent + legal fees.

When a resident moves out owing money, the AI runs a 30/60/90-day recovery cadence before the balance hits collections.
Before legal eviction starts, the AI runs final outreach to convert payments or document non-response for legal.

What this page covers
Topics, integrations, channels, property types, and workflows covered by AI for Multifamily Accounting Teams.
Multifamily accounting teams own the bad debt number. They live inside Yardi Voyager, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, and Buildium reconciling rent rolls, tracking aging, processing payment plans, and chasing delinquency. The problem is volume: a 5,000-door portfolio generates 200-500 delinquent residents on the 5th of every month, and there's no way human collections staff can run a disciplined outreach cadence on all of them. Multifamily accounting AI fixes the volume problem. Frontdesk is the AI for rent collection that automatically runs day-3, day-5, day-10, and day-15 outreach on every delinquent resident — voice + SMS — within accounting team guardrails. Bad debt drops 20-30% in the first 90 days at most portfolios, with no additional accounting headcount.
