Campus Habitat counts on easy online leasing to give students a pleasant first experience and build loyalty.

Most stories about online leasing focus on the substantial benefits to staff, particularly in reducing labor. But Chris Nabours, Systems and Operations Manager for student housing provider Campus Habitat, raves first and foremost about what it means to the students.

“Online leasing has transformed the students’ leasing experience from burdensome and complicated to quick, easy and painless,” he says. “This is their first impression of the property and its management, and when it’s a good experience, the payoff is huge.”

Beyond the ordinary

“Compared to applications, financial aid and a lot of other things students face, our online leasing process is a breeze,” says Nabours. “We love being able to separate ourselves from the difficult things they face, and beginning our relationship this way.”
