AI Property Tools

What the AI in property management software does, and which plan you need

Checked Oct 24, 2026As of October 2026, 14 of the 17 property management tools we track document AI features. On landlord tools they mostly write listing descriptions, review leases or sort transactions. Manager platforms go further, with AI that answers tenant calls and messages or handles maintenance requests, and these usually sit on higher plans or paid add-ons.

Is AI tenant screening allowed?

Several tools add AI to screening, for example ID and document checks or credit scoring. In May 2024 HUD said the Fair Housing Act applies to tenant screening when artificial intelligence and algorithms are used15. That release now sits on HUD's archive site, and fair housing rules differ by state and city, so ask your own adviser how they apply to you. If you use an AI screening score, be ready to explain how it affected each decision.

Which plan do you need for the AI features?

On manager platforms, the AI that talks to tenants is often on a higher plan or sold as an add-on (DoorLoop puts its Receptionist agent on its middle plan), and some vendors don't publish the add-on price. Check each tool's page for the plan named in its own documentation, and the pricing page for what that plan costs at your unit count.
