Property managers cannot get timely owner approval for emergency repairs (e.g., failed water heater) and non-emergency issues (2+ months), leaving tenants, including elderly, without resolution.

No fast, structured way to escalate emergency decisions when owners are unresponsive; no clear system for tracking and enforcing owner response times.

Audit log of all communication attempts for legal and liability records
Tenant notification system updating them on repair status automatically

Target Users: Property managers and management companies overseeing residential and commercial rental properties, especially those managing portfolios with unresponsive owners
