What PropertyBoss is
PropertyBoss is paid property-management software for mixed-use, multifamily, single-family, and student housing. Its functions include rent payments, resident screening, move-ins and move-outs, document storage, e-signatures, vacancy listings, custom reports, and accounting. Maintenance tools handle work orders, inspections, recurring tasks, checklist workflows, reminders, and renewals. The system integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, but not QuickBooks Online. An ePremium connection can support renters-insurance enrollment or proof uploads through the Resident Portal when configured. Staff can use PropertyBoss Online, a web-based progressive web app, while the core software requires remote desktop access and a desktop or laptop. Online access is permission-controlled and unavailable to tenants and owners. Hosted environments require 64-bit Windows 11; Apple hardware, macOS, and virtualization configurations are not supported. The Hosted plan is listed at $1.25 a month, billed as a recurring monthly subscription with a 12 Month Technology Agreement. PropertyBoss was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.
