What Room Choice is

Room Choice is web software for student housing operators to manage leasing, billing, assignments, payments, and resident communication. Students can select a specific unit and bed online, then move through applications, e-signing, and payment. Billing tools automate scheduled payments, late fees, failed-payment retries, and balance tracking. A 24/7 resident portal lets people view balances, pay, submit maintenance requests, and access documents. Operators can review occupancy, revenue, and operational metrics across properties, then export portfolio-level reports. Integrations identified by the maker include Stripe for payments, Plaid for bank verification, and Dropbox Sign for electronic signatures. The security description lists AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, MFA, SSO, role-based access, audit logs, daily backups, point-in-time recovery, and geographic redundancy. SOC 2 Type II compliance is in progress. Plans are month-to-month and may be cancelled with 30 days' notice. Listed plans are $35 a month for Starter, $25 a month for Growth, and $15 a month for Enterprise; each is paid by the resident, not the operator.
