Build to Rent Communities

Zego offers several payment options for build-to-rent communities. With Zego, rent and utility fees can be paid digitally via ACH, credit/debit cards, or virtual wallets - or with a paper check via our modern Lockbox.

Zego Utility streamlines the end-to-end utility management process for build-to-rent portfolios. To help you recoup utility costs from residents, our platform determines what each resident owes and then generates transparent, accurate statements allowing renters to pay both rent and utility charges in one digital transaction.

To reduce the headaches associated with utility AP, our expense management solution collects, audits, and pays utility invoices for your entire portfolio. Easy-to-read reports provide insights into consumption patterns and conservation opportunities. By offloading utility management to Zego, build-to-rent operators can eliminate manual calculations, reduce billing disputes, and ensure maximum recovery of utility expenses.

Payment and utility software streamlines operations at build-to-rent communities by automating rent collection across all payment methods. This enables 100% digital rent payments that fund faster than traditional check processing and are more convenient for renters. And, it eliminates the manual work of processing paper checks that is time consuming for property managers.

For utilities, the software determines monthly utility bills for your renters and creates an itemized statement that also includes their rent. Renters can pay both their utilities and rent in a single transaction, creating better cash flow for property managers. On the utility AP side, workflows that integrate directly into your accounting system, providing real-time financial insights.

Additionally, automated security deposit payouts create seamless move-out experiences.

These automations free up your team from mundane tasks so they can focus on building thriving communities rather than handling paperwork.

You can enhance resident engagement in single family portfolios by providing a mobile-centric, all-in-one resident app that enables self-service and better communication for daily living tasks. Residents can submit maintenance requests with photos, reserve shared neighborhood amenities like pools or fitness centers, and pay rent directly from their phones.

This resident experience platform includes robust communication features with group messaging for neighborhood updates and 1:1 chat for urgent matters. This transparency and ease of communication builds trust - residents appreciate being kept informed about maintenance status and community updates.

By empowering residents to handle routine tasks themselves while maintaining open communication channels, you create a more satisfying living experience that makes your properties the most coveted places to live.
