Eviction is expensive — filing fees, attorney time, 30-60 days of lost rent, turn cost, and bad-debt write-off. The cheapest recovery is the resident who pays before NSD. Frontdesk runs the outreach cadence and payment-plan negotiation that keeps accounts out of legal.

The Problem
Filing fees, attorney, lost rent during the legal window, turn cost, and bad-debt write-off add up to $5K-$10K per evicted unit on average.
When operators audit filed evictions, the majority of residents would have taken a plan if anyone had actually reached them between day 5 and day 15.
A property manager with 200 units and 12 delinquent accounts cannot run 12 real negotiation conversations every month while doing the rest of the job.
A resident who lost their job at day 4 does not call the office. By the time NSD lands, they have already mentally checked out.

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 dials, texts, and re-dials on a fixed cadence so accounts get a real human-quality conversation by day 5 instead of day 25.
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
AI walks the resident through pre-approved plan options, captures a commitment, and confirms in writing — all within the operator's rules.
More capabilities
When the AI detects job loss, medical, or family hardship, it pauses the standard ladder and routes the resident to a human and to assistance programs.
The strongest predictor of next-month on-time is autopay. Every successful recovery call ends with an autopay pitch and live enrollment.
