A Web – based rental property management system for Oreteti apartment

Abstract

The rental property is a property from which the owner receives payment from the occupants known as tenants for using the property. It may be either residential or commercial. Residential property is where people live while commercial property is for business purposes. Investors need to be aware of the current market trends and what the tenants want. Management of these rental properties can be difficult at times. The landlord is tasked with offering a great property for rent, search for tenant, repair and maintain the apartment, collect rent, and do marketing, among others. Some landlords also own multiple rental property businesses across the country. Thus, it is not easy to manage the rental property properly and efficiently either through the owner or agent companies. However, just like any other business, it needs publicity, so that it gets more tenant applications to increase the revenue. Some Landlords for a very long time have delegated some of their duties to agents whose main attention is focused on collecting rent. This project, therefore, proposes a rental property management system to market and advertise rental property. Advertisement starts before the current tenant moves out when they serve a notice. The proposal expounds more on the challenges in the sector, works that have been done before regarding the challenges being faced and how the project proposes to reduce the challenges facing rental property management. The system will be a web-based application that can be accessed through desktop devices and through user mobile phones. Tools that may be used in the development of the web-based system will be sublime text or Atom that will be the IDE to be used. Languages that will be applicable in this IDE is HTML, PHP, and JavaScript. This is so because they can be easily implemented in the said IDEs. The DBMS to be used for the system will be MySQL. This is preferred because it is easy to use as compared to oracle.
