Rentlink Students
Everyone at a student residence in one app: students, property managers, property owners, caretakers, contractors and security. On the phone and on Windows.
One system, a screen for each person
Everyone signs in to the same Rentlink Students and sees what they need for their part of the residence.
- Students: your room, enrollment and rent, tickets for repairs, chat with your residence, a student card, visitor passes, and an SOS button or security support, depending on the security at your residence.
- Property managers: your properties, rooms and tenants, rent as it comes in, tickets, quotes from contractors and a performance report for each house.
- Property owners: linked to your property manager, you see how every one of their properties is doing: occupancy, income, maintenance and who lives where. You look; you change nothing.
- Caretakers and contractors: caretakers run the day-to-day; contractors see their jobs, quote for work and mark it done.
- Security: guards check student cards and visitor passes at the gate, attend to requests for security support, and respond to emergency alerts guided by the command centre.

Everything a residence needs to keep running
Rooms and enrollment
Room adverts with photos, requests from new students, enrollment (the fee, and a signed lease or a confirmed bursary) and giving each student their room.
Rent
Monthly rent schedules for cash-paying students, payments recorded as they arrive, and a clear view of who is behind.
Repairs and services
A student reports a problem; it is assigned, done and confirmed. Property managers ask company contractors to quote, and request cleaning, security or garden services.
Chat and polls
Direct messages to the caretaker and the office, chat rooms for a residence or a floor, and polls to agree on things together.
Student card and Easy Pass
A student card on the phone with a code the guard scans, and visitor passes a student creates and sends to their guest.
Performance for managers and owners
Occupancy, income, maintenance costs and how quickly problems are fixed, for each house and room. The property owner sees the same figures as their property manager.
Security that matches the residence
What the button in a student's app does depends on the security our office has linked to the residence they live in, so nobody relies on help that isn't there.
Armed response: SOS
At a residence linked to an armed response service, a student presses SOS. The command centre is alerted at once, sees who it is, where they live and where they are, and sends armed response. Guards who respond are guided to the student on the map.
Gate security: security support
At a residence with guards but no armed response service, a student asks the guards for help with a security matter in the house: an unwanted visitor, noise, a break-in. The guards see it on their desk and attend to it.
No security: no button
Where no security is linked to a residence, the app shows no button at all, and lists the public emergency numbers instead.
Location only in an emergency: a phone shares where it is only while an SOS alert is open, and the position is deleted when the alert is closed. A request for security support shares no location.
Rentlink Students alerts the security linked to your residence. It does not call the police or an ambulance. In a life-threatening emergency also call 10111 (police), 10177 (ambulance) or 112 from any mobile phone.
