Day-3 outreach gets skipped when leasing is busy
When the office is short-staffed or buried in tours, the day-3 reminder call slips to day-7 — and by then the resident has already paid another bill instead of rent.
The 3-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 15-day delinquency cadence is mechanical work — and it is the work property managers skip first when the office gets busy. Frontdesk runs the entire delinquency outreach ladder on voice and SMS, escalates on a fixed schedule, and writes every contact back to the resident ledger so legal has a clean trail before NSD.

The Problem
When the office is short-staffed or buried in tours, the day-3 reminder call slips to day-7 — and by then the resident has already paid another bill instead of rent.
A leasing associate burns an hour to dial 10 delinquent units and reach 3. The rest go to voicemail and never get a callback.
When an account goes to the attorney, the eviction packet is missing dated proof of contact attempts in the resident ledger.
Bilingual outreach is inconsistent across properties — residents who speak Spanish at home get English voicemails they ignore.

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk runs the delinquency ladder as a fixed cadence on voice and SMS. Every step fires on schedule, in the resident's preferred language, with the right tone for each tier.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
When a resident answers, the AI does not just leave a message — it can negotiate a 2-pay or 3-pay plan within the property's pre-approved policy and write the agreement to the ledger.
More capabilities
Every call, voicemail, SMS, and outcome is timestamped and written to the resident record, so when an account moves to NSD or eviction, the property manager hands legal a complete packet.
The cheapest delinquency to collect is the one that never happens. Frontdesk pitches autopay on every resolved call and walks residents through enrollment in real time.
