Currently, it’s very easy to go online and create fake pay stubs or new identities that will help individuals get approved that may not meet all of your requirements based on their actual credit history and income. In the past it has been time consuming and/or costly to run background and income checks on applicants. So the question arises how in-depth your screening process needs to be?
During the recently held Entrata Summit, members of the IRT Living team discussed how they attacked change management when implementing Entrata. The following is a brief recap of their presentation.Change is never easy, especially when it involves a core system like your property management software. But sometimes, change is necessary to achieve growth and operational efficiency. IRT Living, a publicly traded company with over 100 communities, recently underwent a complete overhaul of its property management system, migrating to Entrata. This transition was a significant undertaking, but by focusing on careful planning, strong partnerships, and comprehensive training, they were able to achieve a successful rollout and drive positive change within its organization.

While AI has been a buzzword in multifamily for the better part of a decade, it remains in its infancy. Its presence can be compared to the early stages of the internet—the days when chat rooms were popular—in that people are recognizing its value but still figuring out its capabilities and large-scale ramifications. In recent years and particularly in 2024, AI has transformed from a background concept in the industry to a full-fledged trending topic. Most industry conferences, board meetings and general discussion focus upon the subject. Members of Entrata’s Product Design team discussed AI’s short- and long-term possibilities at the 2024 Entrata Summit session Humanizing AI: Leveraging the Strength of Humans and Machines.

One applicant displayed a fake paystub. Another submitted inaccurate bank records. Yet another was using a synthetic ID. It was a heck of a day for the property management team—but unfortunately, not necessarily a rare occurrence in today’s apartment landscape. Fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated, and property teams must fight back just as fervently, according to a panel at the 2024 Entrata Summit session Fraud Detection and the Future of Risk Management. While many tools are effective in limiting certain types of fraud, a singular solution often leaves gaps in the process. Panelists agreed that a multitiered approach works best to help curtail what could turn into significant financial losses.
