Everything tenants need to know about using TenantSee
Overview
Welcome to TenantSee! Your landlord has invited you to the platform so you can submit maintenance requests, view your payments, access important documents, and manage your account — all in one place.
Getting Started
When your landlord adds you as a tenant, you'll receive a welcome email with a link to set up your account. If you already have a TenantSee account, you'll be automatically connected.
To create your account:
- Click the link in your welcome email
- Set up your password (or register a passkey for passwordless login)
- Verify your email address
- You're in!
Your Dashboard
After signing in, your dashboard gives you a quick overview of your rental information. The Property Info section shows details about your current unit, including:
- Building name and address
- Monthly rent, rent due date, and deposit amount
- Unit details (bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage)
- Building manager contact — Your building manager's name, email, and phone number, so you always know who to reach
- Emergency contact — You can edit your own emergency contact name and phone number directly from the dashboard by clicking the edit icon
From the sidebar, you can access:
- Home — Your tenant dashboard
- Maintenance — Submit and track repair requests
- Payments — View your payment history
- Documents — Access shared documents
- Settings — Manage your account
Submitting a Maintenance Request
Need something fixed? Here's how to let your landlord know:
- Click Maintenance in the sidebar
- Click New Request
- Select the Unit (auto-selected if you only rent one)
- Describe the issue in the Description field
- Optionally choose a Category (Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Appliance, Structural, Cosmetic, or Other)
- Optionally set the Priority (Low, Medium, High, or Urgent) — defaults to Medium
- Submit your request
Your request starts as Pending. Your landlord will update the status as they review and address the issue. You can check back anytime to see the current status.
Viewing Your Payments
The Payments section shows a history of payments your landlord has recorded for you. Each entry shows the amount, date, status (Pending, Completed, Failed, etc.), payment method, and any notes.
Payment records are created and managed by your landlord. If you believe a payment is missing or has an incorrect status, contact your landlord to have it updated.
Accessing Documents
The Documents section shows files your landlord has shared with you — lease agreements, notices, receipts, and other important documents. Click on any document to download it.
Account Settings
Manage your personal account from Settings:
- Profile — Update your name, phone number, and profile photo
- Security — Change your password, set up two-factor authentication, or add a passkey
- Preferences — Switch between light and dark mode, and choose your preferred language
Tips
- Keep your email address up to date so you don't miss important notifications
- Set up two-factor authentication for extra security — see Securing Your Account
- When submitting a maintenance request, be as descriptive as possible to help your landlord diagnose the issue quickly
