Initial consultation and needs assessment: Tenant Inc. begins with a detailed consultation to understand the self-storage operator's business requirements, goals, and current technology setup, ensuring the solution is matched correctly to needs.
Solution design and proposal: A customized implementation plan and product configuration are prepared, matching the operator’s portfolio size, preferred integrations, compliance requirements, and user roles.
Data migration and onboarding: Existing data (tenants, units, leases, financials) is securely migrated into the Tenant platform, with system setup for locations, business processes, and tracking preferences.
Platform setup and vendor integration: The platform is configured for e-commerce websites, property management workflows, digital marketing, and selected vendor integrations (e.g., payment, insurance, access control).
Training and user enablement: Team members are provided with hands-on training and access to training resources, supporting rapid onboarding and familiarization with core features.
Pilot rollout and testing: A pilot phase is conducted, allowing real-world validation of features, workflows, data accuracy, and any needed iterative adjustments.
Tenant platform can be customized to fit a wide range of specific business needs. The company offers a suite of modular products and emphasizes flexibility, integration, and user control throughout its offering.
Tenant Inc. is built as an open platform, explicitly stating operators are “always in control” and free to work with the vendors of their choice; it is designed not to restrict operator decisions.
The platform is cloud-based, enabling remote management from any device, which supports custom operational requirements, including distributed teams and flexible business models.
Integration with “most of your favorite vendors” is a core promise, suggesting robust API, webhook, or plugin support for third-party services, and a commitment to continually expand these integrations as operator needs change or grow.
The “Nectar” Data Connector acts as an integration and transaction engine, both for core Tenant products and third-party software, futureproofing the business for evolving requirements.
Automated workflows are a key capability; the software can handle anything from simple task reminders to automating complex delinquency processes, showing support for deep workflow customization.
The digital marketing component is personalized, with access to marketing professionals who can tailor campaigns and web strategies to individual storage businesses.
Storage websites built on Tenant’s Mariposa platform are designed for e-commerce and can be tailored to reflect each operator’s brand and rental flow requirements.
Tenant offers a structured, personalized training and support program designed to help new users successfully adopt and maximize the use of its self-storage management platform.
The company employs Onboarding Specialists who guide clients through platform configuration, integrations, and best practices, leveraging cloud-based tools and guided sessions to speed up deployment. Users receive hands-on orientation covering automation, data synchronization, and compliance processes specific to state regulations.
Tenant Inc. has implemented robust and industry-standard security measures to protect user and tenant data across its self-storage software ecosystem.
Tenant Inc. has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, demonstrating independent, third-party validation of its security, availability, and confidentiality controls. This certification signifies that Tenant Inc. adheres to rigorous data security practices and regulatory compliance, including:
Implementation of access controls
Encryption of sensitive data
Regular security assessments and network monitoring
Disaster recovery and redundancy protocols
Controls to prevent unauthorized data access, errors, and fraud.
The platform uses strong encryption to protect sensitive tenant and operator data both in transit and at rest. Role-based access limits staff exposure to only the data necessary for their responsibilities, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enforced for access to sensitive systems.
Tenant Inc. aligns with major privacy laws and regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, supporting secure handling of personal and financial information for both operators and their tenants. The company continually updates its systems to meet evolving security and compliance requirements.
Key operational security measures include:
Regular vulnerability assessments and software patching
Mandatory cybersecurity training for staff to prevent phishing and insider threats
Partnering exclusively with vetted, security-conscious vendors
Automated data backups, real-time system monitoring, and detailed system activity logging for audit and compliance purposes.
For remote onboarding and rentals, Tenant Inc. incorporates secure identity verification technology to reduce fraud and unauthorized access, balancing modern convenience with operational risk reduction.
Tenant Inc. releases updates frequently, typically every month, following a structured release management process to optimize reliability and minimize disruption for users.
Tenant Inc. is explicit and proactive about its commitment to data ownership and portability, empowering operators to retain full control over their business data.
Tenant Inc. states that operators own their data, which means total access, download, and backup rights at any time, at no cost. Operators can request and receive all their data from the platform without restriction, a core value and competitive differentiator for the company. Tenant Inc. does not resell operator data; partner vendors must also agree not to resell data accessed via integration, and operators have granular control over what data is shared and with whom.
Operators can access, export, and back up their full data set at will.
Data can be shared or restricted as needed, with Tenant Inc. serving requests to provide complete datasets to alternative platforms or third-party vendors as directed by the operator.
Tenant Warehouse provides a dedicated business intelligence solution, further supporting custom data export and import for integration or migration purposes.
When integrating with third-party vendors, Tenant Inc. ensures clarity and contractual obligations around data rights, prohibiting partner data resale and adhering to strict operator permissions for data access and use.
Tenant Inc. offers flexible scaling terms for organizations that need to adjust their software subscription—either scaling up or down—based on evolving business requirements.
Tenant Inc.’s cloud-based platform is designed for rapid and seamless scaling, enabling organizations to add more locations, users, or storage units without requiring major manual intervention or disruptive migrations. This platform supports onboarding additional sites and automating operations as the business grows.
Operators can easily upgrade plans, increase the number of users or facilities managed, and expand into new markets using the same unified dashboard and API-driven workflows.
Organizations can also scale down—remove locations, decrease user counts, or even revert to more limited service tiers—as needed. The multi-tenant SaaS architecture and user-based licensing are built to accommodate both expansions and contractions, allowing operators to manage operational costs and subscription complexity.
Scaling up or down typically requires organizations to communicate with Tenant Inc. support or manage changes directly via the admin dashboard, with adjustments reflected in the next billing cycle.
Pricing flexes in proportion to active usage (e.g., number of managed units, locations, or selected features), ensuring clients pay only for what they need as their configuration changes.
Tenant Inc.’s contract renewal and cancellation terms for its self-storage software subscriptions are designed for operator flexibility and clear business continuity, offering multiple renewal options and straightforward termination policies.
Automatic Renewal: Subscription contracts typically renew automatically at the end of each term unless the operator provides written notice to terminate within the required timeframe (often 30–60 days before renewal).
Multiple Renewal Options: Operators are granted options to extend contracts for additional periods (e.g., month-to-month or annual terms). Renewal clauses state that users may renew for multi-year periods (such as three or five years), with escalation rates or prevailing market pricing specified for each renewal cycle.
Renewal Conditions: Renewal is contingent on operators being in good standing and not in default at the time the renewal is elected. Written notice to exercise renewal must be given to Tenant Inc. within the agreed advance period.
Advance Notice: Operators may cancel subscriptions by providing written notice, commonly 30–60 days prior to the next renewal date.
Effective Date: Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period or contract term; operators remain responsible for charges incurred up to the effective cancellation date.
No Refunds for Cancellation: Prorated refunds are typically not offered for mid-term cancellations. Once canceled, access to the platform and associated services reverts to a free or limited tier, and any data must be exported prior to account deactivation.
Termination for Cause: Tenant Inc. reserves the right to immediately terminate services if the operator is in breach of terms, fails to pay, violates legal requirements, or engages in inappropriate conduct toward staff or partners. Specific reasons for termination and the continued obligations of confidentiality and payment are expressly outlined.
Survival of Terms: Obligations regarding payment, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and accrued rights may continue after termination.
Operators can opt for month-to-month contracts for maximum flexibility or commit to longer terms for pricing incentives.
