Overview

Tapi gives landlords greater visibility, faster communication, and smarter insights into property maintenance. Through your property manager’s use of Tapi, you can review and approve maintenance requests, access detailed updates, and keep your property well maintained — without needing to micromanage every step.


Why Your Property Manager Uses Tapi

Your property manager has chosen Tapi to provide a more proactive, transparent, and efficient maintenance experience.
With Tapi, they can manage jobs in one place — ensuring that issues are handled quickly, communication is clear, and records are automatically stored for future reference.


Faster, Smoother Maintenance — Without the Micromanaging

With Tapi, property managers can log, track, and close jobs faster. For landlords, this means:

  • Repairs are completed promptly and professionally.

  • You stay informed with clear progress updates.

  • Tenants remain satisfied and stay longer.

  • Trades are paid quickly, reducing bottlenecks.

  • You enjoy peace of mind — no chasing or follow-ups needed.


Preventative Maintenance That Protects Your Property

Tapi helps your property manager set up recurring maintenance tasks (like gutter cleaning, smoke alarm checks, or pool servicing).
This proactive approach helps you:

  • Avoid costly emergency repairs.

  • Stay compliant with safety standards.

  • Keep your property in prime condition.

Preventative maintenance reduces risk and preserves your property’s value over time.


Smarter Insights on Repairs and Replacements

Tapi’s Asset Manager gives your property manager access to detailed data — including depreciation rates, warranty information, and service history.
As a landlord, you benefit from:

  • Confidence in repair or replacement decisions.

  • Transparency on spend and maintenance history.

  • Better long-term budgeting and planning.
