Your inbox: renter messages, requests and maintenance in one place
Unread counts, assignment, quick replies and text replies for everything renters send you.
Communications → Inbox collects everything renters send you:
- Messages from the renter portal (and texts, once SMS is connected),
- Requests (payment extensions, gate code resets, insurance proof, move-out notices),
- Maintenance problems reported in the portal,
- Website messages from your Contact page and website chat helper (visitors never see your email address).
Unread items are bold and counted in the menu. Assign a conversation to a teammate, use quick replies for common answers (edit them at the bottom of the inbox), and tick Also send by text to text a reply to the renter's mobile (texts queue until SMS is connected).
If a renter's message waits more than two days, the renter can flag that the facility isn't responding. That reaches the Storage Reservations team, so try to reply promptly.
