How does the Tenant File compare with others?

You may ask, how can the Tenant File be so affordable - what's wrong with it? The question really should be, why do the other companies charge so much? We can only guess that the other guys have a big sales staff or advertising overhead and that the programs are so complicated that the typical computer user can't figure them out without training and tech support. Why not make it easy enough so that you don't need a lot of technical support?

 

The Tenant File goal is to keep it simple, yet powerful enough to handle the tough demands of property management
