LeasingDesk ^® eRenterPlan Fully Integrates With OneSite^® Leasing and Rents

Owners Gain Increased Renter's Insurance Tracking and Compliance Capabilities

IRVINE, CA — October 3, 2008 — LeasingDesk™, a wholly owned subsidiary of RealPage, Inc., and a leading provider of point of lease systems for the multifamily industry, today announced the final integration of its flagship offering, eRenterPlan, into RealPage's OneSite© Leasing and Rents. The completed integration enables owners to improve lease compliance and track a resident's policy to ensure conditions of the full participation renter's insurance program are met.

At communities requiring renter's insurance as a condition of residency, OneSite now prompts the leasing professional to enter the new resident's insurance policy information into the system before the lease agreement can be completed. Collecting this information at the point of lease ensures each resident has active coverage, streamlines the enrollment process and generates increased office efficiencies, tracking capabilities and program compliance. Furthering reducing exposure to risk, the solution's instant updates alert an owner when a resident has cancelled their eRenterPlan policy or when coverage is about to expire.

Apartment Construction Soars in Texas

CARROLLTON, Texas (August 5, 2008) — While the credit crunch is holding down multifamily housing starts across much of the nation, apartment development activity is surging in Texas, according to industry research firm M/PF YieldStar.

Recently-released statistics show 56,194 apartment units under construction going into 2008's second half within the state's big four metropolitan areas — Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. That figure is up a whopping 38 percent from the number of apartments under construction as of mid-2007.

“Capital sources clearly are taking into account that the Texas markets boast the nation's healthiest economies, and that makes lenders more willing to fund additional development in the state,” said Greg Willett, M/PF YieldStar's vice president of research. “Most of the builders we've talked to have said that financing for projects recently starting construction was finalized just during the past few months, well after the credit crunch hit. Thus, despite the fact that some deals are falling out of the pipeline, the number getting the green light is quite substantial.”
