Automated Repairs Process with PlanetRent

For all landlords, PlanetRent offers a completely automated photo-reporting repairs process. This includes recommended target response times, which can be easily customized.

The system is designed for everyone, from accidental landlords with one or two properties to large-scale investors managing thousands of homes. And best of all—it’s free to use!

Connecting Tenants with Contractors

PlanetRent’s repairs process seamlessly connects tenants with contractors who have been pre-assigned by the landlord to handle various types of repairs.

Through the PlanetRent app, landlords can:

  • Monitor their tenants and contractors in real time.
  • Oversee repairs as they are arranged and signed off.
  • View ‘before and after’ photos uploaded by contractors.

Managing Repairs Virtually

Landlords can track and evaluate repairs without ever needing to visit the property. The PlanetRent app provides:

  • A transparent rating system, allowing tenants to review contractor work.
  • Live progress updates, ensuring landlords remain informed.
  • Performance tracking against service level agreements.

This virtual repair management system ensures that landlords stay in full control while making repairs hassle-free.

Ensuring Fast and Efficient Repairs

PlanetRent ensures speedy repairs by allowing contractors to work within an exclusivity period to claim the job.

  • If a contractor doesn’t pick up the job, landlords can reassign repairs instantly.
  • Automatically triggered tenant ratings help landlords assess contractor performance.
  • Job completion times are tracked to ensure that repairs are completed on time

Seamless Contractor Integration

Getting contractors onto the PlanetRent Contractor Portal is quick and easy.

  • With just one click, landlords can invite contractors to join the platform.
  • Once invited, contractors can:
    • Accept jobs and update landlords.
    • Add comments and upload photos.
    • Submit quotes and track progress—all from their phone.

This streamlined system ensures that repairs are professionally handled, well-documented, and efficiently managed.

A Complete Management Solution

Beyond repairs, PlanetRent offers a full suite of property management tools, including:

  • A complete repair archive for tracking maintenance history.
  • Rent collection and cash management tools to simplify financial tracking.

If you want to protect your investment and streamline property management, visit PlanetRent today. Chat with us online to learn more or get started right away!
