AI Chatbot for Property Management Companies That Answers From Your Own Policies

An AI chatbot for a property management company should answer the questions tenants, owners, and applicants ask every day, using only the lease summaries, house rules, and procedures you publish. CustomModel does that, shows the source behind each answer, and passes the visitor to your staff when your content has no answer. It never invents a rule or a fee.

Run my model

Stop answering the same tenant questions

A property manager's inbox repeats itself. How do I pay rent, when is the grace period over, how do I report a leak, can I have a dog, what are the quiet hours, how do I renew. Applicants ask about deposits, screening, and move-in dates. Owners ask when statements go out. Each answer takes a minute, and they arrive at night and on weekends.

CustomModel reads your lease summaries, resident handbook, FAQ pages, and owner onboarding documents. A visitor asks in plain words and gets an answer written from those pages, with the passage it came from shown underneath.

Maintenance request instructions and what counts as an emergency
Pet, parking, guest, and quiet hours policies
Application steps, screening criteria, and move-in checklists
Owner onboarding, statement timing, and contact routes

Built to stay inside what you have published

A wrong answer about a late fee or a notice period creates a dispute. CustomModel writes only from the passages it finds in your content. When nothing matches, the answer is flagged as not grounded and the visitor is offered a handoff to your team instead of a guess.

That keeps the chatbot from promising a repair date, waiving a fee, or quoting a rule that belongs to another property. It also means the quality of the answers is the quality of your own documents, which you control.

Every answer shows its source passage
Not grounded answers are flagged, not hidden
Handoff sends the question to your staff
Each account has its own separate index

Who gets the most out of it

Independent managers with a small team use it to cover evenings without a call center. Managers of several buildings keep a separate set of rules per property. Larger portfolios use the API on Growth to place the same answers inside a resident portal or an internal help desk.

Small managers covering nights and weekends
Multi-property operators with different rules per building
Teams that want fewer repeat calls to the front office

What it costs

Plans start at $24 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly) with 1,000 answers, which suits a small portfolio. Growth is $99 a month billed yearly ($199 monthly) and adds the API, five seats, and question analytics. Enterprise adds single sign-on, roles, an SLA, and invoicing.

FAQ

Can the chatbot take maintenance requests?

It answers how to submit a request and what counts as an emergency, using your own instructions. It does not open work orders itself. The handoff sends urgent or unclear cases to your team.

Does it answer from our lease and house rules?

Yes, from any document you add, such as lease summaries, pet policies, parking rules, and move-out checklists. Each answer shows the passage it came from.

Can I run one chatbot per property?

Yes. Add separate content for each building or portfolio and place the script tag on each property site. Each account keeps its own separate index.

Does it work outside office hours?

Yes. It answers at night and on weekends from the same published content, and flags anything it cannot find so your staff sees it next morning.

Do I need a developer to add it?

No. You paste one script tag and the chat bubble appears. The widget is included on every plan.
