Why Columbus Landlords Need Automated Rent Tracking

1

Columbus's large student population near Ohio State means annual lease turnover every August. That's a wave of new tenants and new payment schedules to track each fall.

2

Ohio requires a 3-day notice for non-payment before filing eviction. Catching a late payment on day 1 gives you the full window. Catching it on day 5 means you've already lost time.

3

Columbus's emerging tech hub status (Intel, data centers) is bringing higher-income renters, but also landlords scaling faster than their manual processes can handle.
