The tenant portals, owner portals and maintenance systems we build, with privacy, process, pricing and when to buy instead.

Last updated: October 2026. Written by Athar Ahmad, Certified Bubble.io Developer and Tech Architect, Simple Automation Solutions.

Quick answer

Simple Automation Solutions builds maintenance request systems, tenant portals, owner portals, tenancy and renewal trackers, contractor coordination, staff dashboards and enquiry management for property managers and agencies on Bubble.io. Tenants see only their own tenancy, owners only their own properties, enforced by privacy rules and tested with multiple accounts. Builds start at $3,500 and typically launch in 2 to 6 weeks after a $345 Discovery Sprint.

Key takeaways

  • Builds: maintenance system, tenant portal, owner portal, renewal tracker, contractor coordination, dashboard.
  • Each role sees only its own data, tested with multiple accounts.
  • Maintenance requests often justify the first build.
  • Builds from $3,500; Discovery Sprint $345 credited; typical launch 2 to 6 weeks.
  • Buy or integrate regulated trust accounting and standard products where they fit.

Property managers and real estate agencies deal in requests, records and relationships: a tenant reports a leak, an owner wants a statement, an inspection is due, a lease is about to renew. When these live in email, spreadsheets and phone calls, things get missed and trust suffers. This page explains what Simple Automation Solutions builds for property managers and agencies, how a project runs, what it costs and when to buy an existing product instead.

What are the core workflows?

  • Maintenance: report with photos, triage, contractor assigned, status updates, completion confirmed.
  • Owner reporting: statements and documents available in a portal rather than emailed.
  • Tenancy records: dates, renewals and inspections with reminders.
  • Communication: messages tied to a property or tenancy.
  • Payments: rent collection through a specialist payment provider, where your rules and process allow.

Rules on deposits, notices and landlord obligations vary by country and region, and the workflow should follow your local requirements. Take advice where needed.

How do we handle privacy and access?

  • Tenants see only their own tenancy.
  • Owners see only their own properties.
  • Staff roles can differ by branch or portfolio.
  • Contractors see only the jobs assigned to them.
  • Rules are enforced in the data and tested with multiple accounts. See our security guide.

How does a project run?

  1. Free Idea Audit: we discuss your portfolio, requests and what hurts most.
  2. Discovery Sprint ($345): a PRD with roles, workflows, data model, integrations, cost and timeline within 24 hours, credited toward the build.
  3. Build on a test version with regular demos.
  4. Pilot with one portfolio or branch.
  5. Launch with short guides for tenants and owners.
  6. Iterate and support from $35 per hour, with no retainers or minimums.

Maintenance requests alone often justify the first build, since they are the most frequent and most irritating process. See what to cut before you build.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?

Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on the PRD. Typical launches take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. See our cost guide and realistic build schedules.

Build or buy?

Established property management products cover a lot, and a small agency with standard needs should try them first. Building makes sense when your process is distinctive, per-unit pricing climbs with your portfolio, you want a branded owner and tenant experience or you need several systems to work together. A common middle route keeps your accounting system and builds a portal on top.

When are we not the right fit?

  • You need regulated trust or client money accounting built in. Buy or integrate that.
  • You need on-site support in a specific city.
  • An existing product fits your process and budget.
  • You need to own and run the source code.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build a tenant and owner portal?

Yes. We build portals where tenants report maintenance and see documents, and owners see statements and repair status, each limited to their own records.

Can tenants upload photos of problems?

Yes. Photos make triage faster and are a standard part of maintenance requests.

Can the system collect rent?

Rent collection can be included through a payment provider, subject to your rules and the provider’s support for your countries.

How much does a property management portal cost?

Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on scope. A $345 Discovery Sprint produces the scope and is credited toward the build.

Can it connect to our accounting software?

Often through integrations, scoped in the PRD. Each integration adds work, so we list the essential ones for version 1.

Managing properties on email and spreadsheets?
