Managing tenants manually is one of the biggest challenges for housing societies, apartment owners, and real estate businesses. The old method of handwritten records, paper files, and Excel sheets often leads to missing data, late payments, and communication gaps.
This is why modern organizations are adopting a Tenant Management System — a digital solution that keeps all tenant-related information centralized and accessible.
