Automatically escalate ignored maintenance requests to force landlord action.
Student tenants' maintenance requests submitted through proptech platforms are ignored by landlords, resulting in delayed property repairs.
Students submit maintenance requests via proptech integrations or manual entry, and FixFlow sends automated reminders and escalations to landlords. If ignored beyond deadlines, it generates formal notices and tracks compliance. Dashboards provide real-time status updates and proof for disputes.
