- The problem
- Owners split shared costs by gut feel and renters argue about it. There is no clean monthly statement showing what each renter owes beyond the chair fee.
- The gap
- Rental and suite management tools handle leases and maintenance requests. Cost guides list expense categories but nothing computes and bills each renter's share.
