Room Choice is web software for student housing operators managing leasing, billing, assignments, payments, and resident communication. Students can select an exact unit and bed online, then proceed through applications, electronic signing, and payment. Billing tools automate scheduled payments, late fees, retries for failed payments, and balance tracking. A resident portal available around the clock lets people view balances, pay, submit maintenance requests, and access documents. Operators can monitor occupancy, revenue, and operational metrics across properties, and export portfolio-level reports. The maker identifies Stripe for payments, Plaid for bank verification, and Dropbox Sign for e-signatures. Listed security measures include AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, MFA, SSO, role-based access, audit logs, daily backups, point-in-time recovery, and geographic redundancy. The maker says SOC 2 Type II compliance is in progress. Plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime with 30 days' notice. Listed resident-paid prices are 35.00 USD per month for Starter, 25.00 USD per month for Growth, and 15.00 USD per month for Enterprise; the plans correspond to different annual reservation volumes.
