Introducing how to sort tasks for roommates
Zillow estimates that 30% of adults in the US live with a roommate to lower costs. This trend sometimes skews even higher in urban areas like Los Angeles and New York City where more than 46% of adults live with roommates. While living with a roommate might make paying rent easier, it doesn’t always simplify move-in for onsite teams.
Roommates will often divvy up required move-in tasks since most tasks need to be completed only once per unit. Roommate A takes care of renters insurance (and making sure everyone is listed) while Roommate B handles scheduling the loading dock. For onsite teams, coordinating the move-in for roommates can be additionally complicated as they juggle communicating with multiple people to figure out which tasks have been completed and which remain outstanding.
Today we’re pleased to launch a new feature which will allow onsite teams to group roommates together in the Updater app making it easier than ever to keep track of move-in tasks. Our roommate feature allows onsite teams to:
- Easily group roommates to streamline move-in tasks by unit
- Instantly know which residents are living with roommates and which aren’t
- Reduce resident confusion by allowing roommates to select if a task has been completed by someone else in the Updater app.
The roommate feature is now available to help streamline the following tasks:
- Renter’s Insurance
- Move-in Costs
- Security Deposit Alternative
- Utilities
Our roommate feature will help streamline the move-in process for onsite teams and limit confusion for residents who are coordinating their move with others.
