Property ManagementClient Communication & Experience3MediumProperty Manager$ implied

Property managers struggle with vague maintenance requests from tenants, leading to delays and failed vendor visits due to missing details like model numbers or photos.

Existing communication channels like text messages allow tenants to send vague requests without structure, and there is no automated system to prompt for necessary details or provide a guided submission process.
