What PropertyBoss is
PropertyBoss is property management software for mixed-use, multifamily, single-family and student housing. It supports rent payments, resident screening, move-ins and move-outs, document storage and e-signatures, vacancy listings, custom reports and accounting tools. Work orders can cover maintenance issues, inspections, recurring operational tasks and checklist workflows, with system-generated reminders and renewals. The software integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, but not QuickBooks Online. An ePremium integration may let residents enroll in renters insurance or upload proof of other coverage through the Resident Portal, depending on configuration and enabled services. Staff can use PropertyBoss Online, a web-based PWA, while the core software requires a remote desktop connection and a desktop or laptop. Online access is permission-controlled and unavailable to tenants and owners. Administrators can set what users may view or modify and which modules, portals, properties and reports they can access. The hosted environment requires 64-bit Windows 11; Apple hardware, macOS and virtualization configurations are not supported. The Hosted plan costs $1.25 a month with a 12 Month Technology Agreement.
