Nice App!
the app continually states I am attempting to login to the management interface. Help me understand what I am doing wrong. Please note I am an owner/operator and do login to the management interface every day. However, I want to login when I am not on site.
Hi David,
The Owner Connect mobile app is a mobile app of the Owner Portal specifically and is something that a Rentec PM user would share with their owner clients. If you are landlord or investor using Rentec Direct property management software (Rentec Pro) the Owner Portal is not something you need to use.
If you are looking to login into your Rentec Direct management interface from your phone, you can easily set up a home screen shortcut. Here’s how: https://www.rentecdirect.com/blog/mobile-app-shortcut/

Excellent App.
Can’t the app also be designed for the property manager side as well? Why is it just for owners and tenants?
Hi Mendel, These apps are specifically designed to allow tenants and owners the ability to access their portals within the software. A mobile app for managers is high on our priority list. In the meantime, you can instantly access your Rentec Direct account from your mobile phone by setting up a home screen shortcut. This allows you to access your account on your phone’s web browser, and this phone home screen shortcut gives you a way to use Rentec as if it were a mobile app. You can find the instructions for the simple set up here.
