Happier tenants, higher renewals
Send one-tap surveys over RCS at key moments, so tenants rate maintenance, move-in, and living from their inbox, giving you a steady read on satisfaction with response rates email surveys can't reach.
In-inbox surveys beat the tenant-satisfaction emails residents ignore.
Post-repair surveys flag unresolved issues before they hurt renewals.
Recommendation surveys reveal at-risk tenants while you can still re-sign them.
Your maintenance request is closed. One tap tells us how it went.

How RCS surveys work for Property Management
Property management lives on retention: an empty unit and a turnover are far more expensive than keeping a tenant who renews. Yet the frustrated tenant rarely speaks up — they vent in an online review and then don't renew. Surveys to tenants at the moments that matter, the move-in, every maintenance request, and the renewal window, surface that frustration privately while you can still act, and tell you which tenants are happy enough to recommend the community.
Sent over RCS, surveys land in the tenant's texting inbox as branded messages answered in a tap — a move-in experience rating, a quick maintenance-request satisfaction check, and renewal-intent pulses. A 1–5 recommend score gauges likelihood to renew and recommend, a low score opens a private reply, and responses can be collected anonymously so tenants answer candidly.
The payoff is fewer surprise move-outs, frustrated tenants caught before they post or leave, and renewals that hold because tenants felt heard.
Where it pays off
A survey lands in the tenant's texting inbox to rate how the move-in went, while it's fresh.
After a work order closes, a one-tap survey checks whether the fix was timely and done right.
A recommend-score survey ahead of the renewal window flags who's likely to leave, in time to act.
Responses can be collected anonymously, so tenants answer honestly instead of staying silent.

- When should a property manager send a tenant survey over RCS?
- At the moments that shape renewal — right after move-in, after each maintenance request closes, and ahead of the renewal window. Each survey lands in the tenant's texting inbox and is answered in a tap, so you get an ongoing read on satisfaction instead of finding out a tenant was unhappy only when they give notice.
- Why do RCS tenant surveys beat email or SMS surveys?
- Tenants ignore email surveys and the resident portal, and plain SMS makes them type. An RCS survey uses one-tap star ratings, answer buttons, and suggested-reply chips in the native inbox, so completion runs far higher than email — giving you feedback from the quiet majority who'd never open an email.
- Can tenant surveys be anonymous so residents answer candidly?
- Yes. Responses can be collected anonymously, which is what gets tenants to tell you the truth about a slow maintenance team or a noise problem rather than staying silent and venting in a review later. A low recommend score still flags an at-risk unit so you can act before the tenant gives notice.
- What can a property manager field with these survey templates?
- Move-in experience ratings, maintenance-request satisfaction checks, renewal-intent and satisfaction pulses, and a 1–5 recommend score for likelihood to renew and recommend, with an anonymity option — all as branded RCS surveys in Google Messages on Android and the Messages app on iPhone with iOS 18, with SMS fallback and opt-in and STOP compliance.
