• Looking
• Signing

• Moving out

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT can answer questions at any stage during the rental process and is available 24x7. Need to learn more about a term you see in Rent Smarter? Ask the Virtual Assistant a question in your own words, such as: “What is a concession on a lease agreement?” Don’t see the answer to your questions today, check back because the Virtual Assistant is always learning and adding new content.
