Review best practices, common mistakes and their impact on repairs and renewals. [Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/property-management/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for property management customer support? An AI agent for property management support is software that resolves routine tenant, owner and vendor requests, such as a repair report, a visit time or a viewing, instead of only answering questions about them. In BoldDesk it works on chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels, reads the unit and the work order in your property management software through API actions or MCP, and takes the action there. ### Can BoldDesk’s AI agent log work orders and book vendors in AppFolio, Yardi or Buildium? Yes, over an API action or an MCP server. The AI agent can read a unit and its open work orders, log a new work order, book a vendor visit and tell the tenant, limited to the actions you allow. Routine ones such as logging a leak run on their own, and the ones you mark, such as a vendor quote over your limit, wait for a manager’s approval. ### Which property management systems does BoldDesk integrate with? BoldDesk has no native AppFolio, Yardi or Buildium integration; those and other property management systems connect to the AI agent as API actions, or as an MCP server that exposes their tools. Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Calendly, Twilio and BoldSign are native integrations for repair alerts, viewings and lease signatures. ### Does BoldDesk help with Fair Housing and GDPR requirements for tenant data? BoldDesk is GDPR compliant and signs a data processing agreement, and it is audited for SOC 2 Type 2. It stores communication logs, keeps audit trails and records each AI step in a trace, which supports the compliance reviews and dispute records Fair Housing and local rental rules call for. Your own policies decide what the AI agent may say and do. ### How do I stop the AI agent from approving vendor spend or refunding a deposit on its own? Mark the vendor order, rent credit or deposit refund as approval-required, or set a rule such as vendor quotes over $500 needing the Property Manager. The AI agent prepares the action, waits for the named approver, then runs it, and every step is saved in its trace. ### When does the AI agent hand a tenant request to a person? A leak, a lockout, no heat or any case that matches your emergency rules pages the on-call manager and the vendor with the history and the steps the AI agent took. It also hands over when a tenant asks for a person, a dispute or a repeat repair needs a decision outside your rules, or its confidence is low. ### Can tenants write in their own language or from their phone? Yes. Tenants can write by email, live chat, WhatsApp, social messages or a web form, and the AI agent answers in 40+ languages, around the clock. Your field and office teams get real-time ticket alerts with SLA countdowns in the native iOS and Android apps. ### How is BoldDesk priced for a property management company? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so every property, leasing and maintenance team can add agents without seat fees. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000.
