vteam #552 built a Property Management System (PMS) for property owners/managers. This system allows rental property owners and managers (POMs) be able to maintain the records of their properties by scheduling maintenance and hiring service providers to perform the tasks needed. One part of the application was already built for service providers user type but the second part of the application was needed to built for property owners type of users with more friendly user interface.
Client of vteam #552 was in dire need of a new MVC based application for its property owners/managers type of users to keep track of all their rental properties’ details at one place. This system should provide them an ability to keep detailed records and information about their rental properties. Also keep units against properties to track each tenant’s rent amount, lease start and end date, lease renewal notices, termination notices. Moreover, the system should organize POMs finances of rental income, payments, expenses, utilities, taxes, insurance per unit and per property. To schedule preventive property maintenance, this PMS should have a separate module for tenants to easily track maintenance issues by property unit.
