In short

What does this service do?

Tenant experience app development covers the design, build, and store submission of mobile applications that serve as the primary digital touchpoint between tenants and their operator. Features include rent payments, maintenance requests, document management, smart-lock and access control, community feeds, amenity booking, and push notifications. Noseberry Digitals builds tenant experience apps for coliving, BTR, student housing, multifamily, and serviced apartment operators. Every app is white-label capable, connected to the operator's PMS and payment systems, and owned by the client at handover.

What we offer

Eight features tenants use daily.

Every feature is designed for the interactions that happen every day, not the ones that happen once a year. The app replaces emails, phone calls, and portal logins with a single mobile experience.

  • Rent and payment management

    Recurring payments, one-time charges, split payments for shared rooms, payment reminders, and digital receipts. Integrated with Stripe, Razorpay, or regional gateways. Tenants pay in two taps.

  • Maintenance requests

    Photo and description submissions, urgency classification, real-time status updates, and resolution notifications. Tenants see exactly where their request stands without calling the office.

  • Document signing and storage

    Lease agreements, move-in checklists, house rules, and policy acknowledgements signed digitally within the app. All documents stored and accessible from the tenant's profile.

  • Smart-lock and access control

    Digital keys for rooms, common areas, and amenity spaces. Visitor access codes, temporary access for maintenance vendors, and access logs for property management teams.

  • Community feeds and events

    Announcements, event calendars, discussion boards, and social features. Designed for operators who want to build community engagement as part of the living experience.

  • Amenity booking

    Reserve co-working desks, gym slots, parking spaces, laundry machines, and common area time slots. Calendar-based booking with capacity limits and automated reminders.

  • Package and delivery notifications

    Automated notifications when packages arrive at the front desk or mailroom. Pickup confirmation and tracking to reduce package-related inquiries.

  • Push notifications and lifecycle engagement

    Segmented notifications tied to the tenant lifecycle. Move-in onboarding, payment reminders, maintenance updates, lease renewal prompts, and community event invitations.

Who this is for

A tenant app for every operating model.

  1. 01

    Coliving operators

    Community-driven living with shared spaces, events, and high-frequency tenant interactions. The app becomes the central hub for payments, community, maintenance, and access across multiple properties and cities.

  2. 02

    BTR operators

    Long-term rental with institutional-grade service expectations. The app delivers the convenience, transparency, and self-service that modern renters expect from a purpose-built rental experience.

  3. 03

    Student housing operators

    Academic calendar-driven tenancies with room selection, roommate matching, and campus-adjacent services. The app handles the unique lifecycle patterns of student residents.

  4. 04

    Multifamily operators

    Traditional apartment management at scale. The app reduces support volume, automates routine interactions, and provides tenants with self-service access to payments, maintenance, and documents.

  5. 05

    Serviced apartment operators

    Short-to-medium stay guests who expect hotel-level digital convenience. Check-in, concierge, local recommendations, and in-stay communication in a branded guest app.

  6. 06

    Affordable housing operators

    Compliance-aware tenant apps with income certification tracking, recertification reminders, and multilingual support. Designed for the specific reporting and communication requirements of affordable housing programs.
