Resident Experience

What residents get with a Sentus-managed property.

Sentus is the resident portal and service experience behind properties managed on Sentus.ai: a tenant maintenance request app with photos, live status updates, online rent payments, and a phone line that answers every call — even at 2 AM.

The experience

A resident portal built around getting things fixed.

A resident portal should do more than display a balance. At Sentus-managed properties, residents report issues with photos, watch the work order move from submitted to scheduled to done, pay rent online, and reach a phone line that always answers. Every channel — call, message, or portal — connects to the same record, so nothing gets lost between conversations.

A resident portal app that works on any phone

Sentus Home is the resident portal for Sentus-managed properties. It runs in the browser and installs like an app on iPhone and Android — no app store account required, no separate login per building.

Maintenance requests with photos

Residents submit a maintenance request in a few taps, attach photos of the issue, and get a tracked work order — not a voicemail. Photo context helps the team understand severity before anyone is dispatched.

Updates at every step

When a request is scheduled, a vendor is on the way, or the work is done, residents see the status change. The request history stays visible, so nobody has to call the office to ask what happened.

Rent and payments online

Residents can view what they owe and pay online from the portal, with a record of past payments — instead of dropping off checks or guessing at balances.

A phone line that always answers

Calls to a Sentus-managed property are answered by Sophia, the AI receptionist — including after hours. Residents can report an issue at 2 AM and it becomes a real, tracked work order during the call.

One conversation, remembered

Whether a resident calls, messages, or uses the portal, it connects to the same record. Residents do not have to re-explain the same issue to every new person.
