Getting Help

Rentec Direct property management software was designed to be very easy to get started with and use. When assistance is needed for a quick processing question, tenant payment issues, or more complex accounting, Rentec Direct offers many resources and ways to access help quickly. 

How to Get Help 

Out of the many resources available, the Knowledge Base conveniently provides the most information in one place. In addition to an entire library of instructions organized by categories, there are links to current how-to articles, instructional videos, feature information, and tenant and owner resources. For those who are new to Rentec Direct, the Getting Started section is the go-to category.
