Your invite carries a one-time code. If you already have a YellowUnit account from another place you rent, own or work at, this becomes one more workspace on it — not a second login to remember.
For tenants
You should not have to chase anyone.
Report the leak and then watch it move. Who has it, what stage it is at, when somebody is arriving, and the photo proving it was finished. Nothing in that list should require sending a message asking whether anyone saw the last message.
Today
What already works.
YellowUnit is in early access, so this is the honest list — the parts running on a database right now, not the parts we are still building.
Apply and know where it stands
The criteria you are being judged against are recorded as a version, your submission is recorded as a version, and the decision you receive carries evidence it was actually delivered to you.
Record the condition you moved into
The move-in inspection and its checklist attach to the unit, not to somebody phone. Two years later that is the difference between a deposit discussion and a deposit argument.
Watch the repair move
Reported, assigned, scheduled, done. You see who has it and what stage it is at, without sending a message that asks whether anyone saw the last message.
Know when someone is coming
The arrival window is on the record and on a calendar, in the timezone of the property itself rather than whichever one your phone picked up.
See the proof it was finished
The completion evidence the vendor recorded on site is attached to the job, so closed means documented rather than merely claimed.
Messaging, rent payments, documents and official notices are built and moving onto the database. The roadmap says exactly where each one stands.
The rules
Written down, in your favour.
Most rental software is bought by the landlord, so nobody writes down what it is not allowed to do to you. These are rules in the model this product is built from. They are not promises in a help article — they are the reason certain things cannot happen.
Opening is not agreeing
Opening content is never taken as agreement. An explicit acknowledgment replaces any inference from someone having opened something.
Saying it is done does not make it done
What is written in a conversation never changes the source workflow. A message claiming a repair is finished does not close the repair.
On time is on time
An ACH payment initiated on time is processing on time. It never receives a silent late fee for taking days to settle.
A late fee needs a signed lease behind it
Only the exact late-payment rule the signed lease carries supports an automatic charge. A PDF, or an AI reading of one, is never authority on its own.
Ambiguity goes to a person
Where a rule does not support an automatic calculation, the assessment stays in review. It is never resolved by guessing — not against you, and not against the owner.
A message is not legal service
In-app alerts, push, SMS, chat, read receipts and ordinary e-mail can only help you notice something. None of them delivers an official notice.
Nothing pauses a deadline
Not a provider failure, a closed browser, a logout, a restarted worker, a reassignment or an unread message. The clock belongs to the obligation, not to the software.
Recovery never fakes punctuality
When something is recovered after a failure it keeps the original trigger, deadline and timestamps. It never makes something look on time that was not.
Getting in
Accepting an invite is not an afternoon.
The point of an invite is to connect you to a rental, not to interrogate you. Four rules keep it that way.
You do not type the lease
The unit, the address, the rent and the lease period are controlled by the owner or manager. You are not asked to retype details you have no authority over, and cannot be blamed for a typo in them.
Your profile is not a gate
Legal name, occupants, pets, vehicles, emergency contact and insurance are collected when they are actually needed for the lease, not as an obstacle between you and the portal.
Screening is its own decision
Social security numbers, credit and background checks never ride along inside an invite acceptance. They belong to a separate flow you consent to on purpose.
One invite at a time
Only one pending invite can be active for a rental. A new link expires the previous one, so there is never a question about which message was the real one.
It is your record too
You can take your own history with you.
When a tenancy ends, the records of it do not become the landlord private property. You can export your own tenancy records, and the export is part of the product rather than a favour you have to ask for.
If something on the property record is wrong, duplicated or looks fraudulent, you can report it. That report reaches review on its own track — it does not quietly hand anyone authority over the property, and it does not depend on the manager agreeing with you first.
A deadline that belongs to you
15days
The objection window on a deposit claim in Florida is counted in the product from the day the notice is delivered — not from the day somebody got around to entering it, and not paused by an unread message.
Deposits and official notices are in build. The counting rules are already written, which is why they can be stated this precisely before the screen exists.
If you are the manager reading this
A tenant who can see the answer stops asking you for it.
Every rule on this page removes a dispute before it starts. A tenant who can check the status does not call. A late fee that requires a signed rule does not become an argument. A notice that carries delivery evidence does not turn into somebody swearing they never got it. Tenant-friendly is not charity here — it is the cheapest form of risk management you can buy.
Early access
Renting should come with a record.
If your building is not on YellowUnit yet, send this to whoever manages it. One property is enough to start.
