Listing your vacancy

Engage Broadcast pushes availability and pricing from one source to three named rental sites plus the operator's own website, application portal and CRM.

Engage Broadcast publishes to Apartments.com, Zillow and Apartment List.

Online applications

Applicants apply from a phone in Engage Apply with autofill, co-applicant links and checks inside the flow; the application fee amount is never published.

Renters finish the application in one sitting: smart autofill cuts application time by 60%, and ID verification, payments, e-signatures, and renters…

Tenant screening

Credit, criminal, eviction, income and rental history checks come from MRI's own Engage Protect, but what runs is configured per property and no price or payer is published.

Packages are configured per property, so what runs on a given application depends on the criteria you set.

Finding a tenantYes

Income verification

Income is confirmed from a payroll or bank connection, from an uploaded pay stub checked against fraud indicators, or by MRI's own screeners; no price is published.

With the applicant’s permission, income is confirmed directly from their payroll provider or bank.

Leases and rentYes

Leases signed online

Engage Secure Sign puts signing inside the application and renewal flow, with reusable templates, one-click delivery and automatic reminders on unsigned documents.

For renters, signing happens right inside the application and renewal flow, not in a separate window or a separate email.

State-specific leases

Templates exist, but the vendor's words put the drafting on the customer: you create and maintain your own, and no state-specific or attorney-reviewed lease library is offered.

Create customized templates that meet your own requirements, and maintain them with drag-and-drop fields rather than a support ticket.

Leases and rentYes

Rent collected online

Residents pay rent, fees and deposits by card, bank transfer, autopay or cash and the money posts to the ledger; funding speed to your bank is not published.

Engage Pay accepts rent, fees, and security deposits the way people actually want to pay: card, bank transfer, autopay, even cash, from any device.

Leases and rentYes

Autopay and reminders

Autopay is one of the published payment channels for recurring monthly rent; the vendor does not say whether reminders go out before rent falls due.

Security deposits

Deposits are collected in the same flow as the application and rent, charged at lease signing and landing on the resident record and the ledger.

Inside the MRI Engage suite , residents pay security deposits at lease signing and rent after move-in through MRI’s leasing and resident portal .

Rent paid in cash

Cash is offered, but the vendor makes it conditional on each community switching it on, and names neither a retail network nor a fee for paying that way.

From a browser, a phone, or the resident portal they already use — by card, bank transfer, autopay, or cash, depending on what the community enables.

Leases and rentYes

Rent reported to credit bureaus

Rent reporting to credit bureaus is built into Engage Pay alongside the rewards programme; who pays for it, and whether residents can decline, is not published.

Residents earn Piñata rewards for a bill they were paying anyway, and rent reporting builds their credit history.

MaintenanceYes

Maintenance requests

Residents submit service requests with photos in the same portal they pay from, and the requests arrive as records with history rather than messages.

Residents pay rent, submit service requests with photos, and sign their renewal, all in the same portal they already open every month.

Move-in and move-out inspections

Inspections exist in the building operations product as preventative and compliance checks across a portfolio; move-in and move-out inspections shared with a resident are not described.

Simplify inspections to enhance visibility and drive accountability across your organization.

Bank accounts from the vendor

MRI acts as a payment processor rather than a bank: it discloses itself as a registered payments organisation of Wells Fargo and describes accepting money, not holding it for you.

MRI Software LLC is a registered ISO of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Concord, CA.

Your tenantsYes

Tenant app

Residents keep the account they applied with and use it to pay, raise requests and sign renewals; commercial tenants get Engage @Work instead.

The account a renter creates to apply is the one they keep as a resident.

Renters insurance

Engage Insure tracks every policy against its unit, chases lapses for you and force-places cover; residents may bring their own insurer instead.

Every resident policy is tracked against the unit it covers, whether the resident bought it through the program or brought their own.

AI features

In the vendor's words the AI answers portfolio questions on demand, briefs each role on what changed, and runs workflows inside rules you set.
