Recover at-risk renewals

How to recover residents who are considering not renewing

At-risk renewals are recoverable — but only if the property knows they are at risk and acts before day-30. Frontdesk surfaces at-risk signal at day-90, applies in-policy concessions at day-60, and runs final recovery outreach at day-30 and day-15.

The Problem

Operators do not know which residents are at risk until day-15

The day-90 conversation that captures stay/leave intent does not happen, so risk is not visible until residents stop returning calls.

Late risk detection means no time to apply a save offer.

At-risk signal is captured by feel, not by data

A property manager "feels like" Unit 4B will leave but the data is in nobody's system.

Without data, the same residents leave every year for reasons nobody tracks.

No structured concession ladder for at-risk residents

When at-risk residents are identified, the property manager invents a save offer on the fly instead of running a policy ladder.

Inconsistent save offers create fair-housing exposure and waste concession dollars.

Last-mile day-15 outreach is skipped on most leases

Day-15 is the cheapest possible save — and most properties skip it.

Skipped day-15 outreach is 10-20% of recoverable residents lost.

Day-90 risk capture

The day-90 conversation tags every resident as stay, leave, or unsure — giving operations a real renewal-risk pipeline 60 days earlier than they normally have it.

  • Stay/leave/unsure tagging
  • Risk reasons captured
  • Per-property risk dashboard
  • Routes high-risk to leasing
  • Bilingual capture

In-policy save offers at day-60

  • Pre-emptive concession on at-risk residents
  • Operator-defined ladder
  • Captures acceptance
  • Logs save to renewal record
  • Avoids over-concessing low-risk residents

Every step syncs to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan in real time.

01

Step 1

AI captures every prospect and resident interaction

Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.

02

Step 2

Records sync to your PMS, CRM, and calendar

Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.

03

Step 3

Automation runs follow-up across voice, SMS, and email

No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.

04

Step 4

Portfolio analytics surface what matters

Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
