Sentus Leasing

Leasing and move-in without the broken handoffs.

Sentus Leasing keeps inquiry, screening, lease workflow, and onboarding attached to one operating path instead of splitting the story across tools and teams.

How It Runs

Every lead, walked to the lease.

  1. 01

    A prospect inquiry enters through Sophia or a listing source.

  2. 02

    Leasing captures intent, timing, and property fit.

  3. 03

    Tours, applications, and screening steps are advanced in sequence.

  4. 04

    Move-in tasks connect to the resident portal when the lease is signed.

  5. 05

    The leasing history stays preserved on Sentus Thread.

Why It Matters

Leasing strengthens the path into the portfolio.

It gives buyers a clearer view of how Sentus handles front-end leasing workflows, not just maintenance and messaging.

Lead-to-lease continuity

Sentus Leasing keeps inquiry, follow-up, screening, lease workflow, and move-in onboarding attached instead of scattering the leasing story across inboxes and tools.

Fewer dropped handoffs

A leasing workflow should not reset every time responsibility changes hands. Leasing gives the team one shared state and one cleaner path to move-in.

A better bridge into Home and Thread

Once the resident enters the portfolio, their communications, documents, and service history should already have a place to live.

Leasing Workflow

Leasing should feel like continuity, not admin drift.

This system exists so the highest-intent pre-resident workflows do not get lost before they ever become a signed lease.

1 Leasing inquiry starts with real intent capture
2 Tours, applications, and screening stay in one operating path
3 Lease and move-in progress stay visible to the team
4 New resident context enters the broader operating system cleanly

Operator FAQ

Questions operators ask about Sentus Leasing.

Straight answers to the questions that come up in every evaluation.

How does Sentus handle tenant screening?

Sentus integrates SmartMove for credit, criminal, and eviction screening; Checkr for background checks; and Plaid for identity verification and fraud detection. The PM team reviews results in the Management Portal with AI-generated recommendation summaries. Adverse action notices are generated automatically in compliance with FCRA.

Can Sophia schedule a tour over the phone?

Yes. The schedule_tour voice tool is one of Sophia's eight server-side actions. A prospect calls, Sophia qualifies them, checks availability, and books the tour directly into the calendar — synced across leasing agent, prospect, and property management views.

Does Sentus support e-signatures on leases?

Yes. DocuSign is integrated for lease e-signing. Leases are AI-drafted from the clause library, reviewed by the leasing team, and delivered for e-sign via email or the Resident Portal. The signed document is retained in the audit trail.

What is the MIMO move-in/out wizard?

MIMO (Move-In/Move-Out) is a structured wizard that guides the leasing team and resident through the unit handover process: condition documentation, key handoff, security deposit accounting, inspection photos, and checklist sign-off. It is connected to Sentus Ops for any repairs surfaced during move-out.

How does Sentus help with lease renewals?

The renewal command center surfaces expiring leases with AI-generated churn scores based on payment history, maintenance request volume, and portal engagement. Sophia can initiate outbound renewal conversations. Renewal terms, concessions, and new lease execution all happen within the same leasing workflow.
