Student housing technology has to handle by-the-bed leases, parent guarantors and a full building moving in at once. Choosing systems that work together matters as much as choosing each one.

Each one opens a short guide, then the suppliers who do the work.
Property management and leasing software is the system of record for a property: it holds leases, the rent roll, resident ledgers, accounting and the resident portal. In student housing it also has to track individual beds, guarantors and next year's leases at the same time as this year's.
Revenue management software recommends rental rates based on demand, leasing pace and market conditions. For student housing it typically prices by bed and unit type across a single pre-leasing season.
This category covers checking applicants and guarantors before a lease is approved, along with the tools residents and parents use to pay rent, fees and deposits. It can also include identity checks and alternatives to traditional security deposits.
Access control and security systems manage who can enter buildings, units, bedrooms and amenities, using smart locks, key cards, mobile credentials, intercoms and gates. The category also covers cameras and monitoring for common areas and entries.
This category covers bulk and managed internet for a whole property, including the Wi-Fi network across units and common areas and the support residents call when it fails. Some providers also handle cabling, cable television and the network your staff uses.
Marketing and leasing technology covers the websites, ads, CRM, chat, call tracking and tour scheduling tools that attract prospects and move them to a signed lease. In student housing it also needs to reach parents and support leasing without a visit.
Inspection and maintenance software lets your team record unit condition with photos and checklists, manage work orders and schedule preventive maintenance. It is usually used on phones or tablets and connects with your property management system.
Smart home and building technology includes connected locks, thermostats and sensors that let you manage access, comfort and early warnings from one system. In student housing this often reaches down to individual bedroom doors.
This category covers 3D tours, photography, video and floor plans that let prospects see a property without visiting. It also includes tools for self-guided tours in some cases.
Reputation and resident sentiment tools monitor online reviews, help staff respond and run resident surveys. They show how residents and parents feel about a property and where problems are building.
