02 Send a suspicious email

Not sure if it's real?

Paste it here. We don't keep these submissions on the website — they just open your email so you can send a copy our way for a human review.

Don't include sensitive resident data — just the suspicious email itself. Replies usually within a few hours during business hours.

03 Calculators

Quick math, no spreadsheet required.

Tip math after happy hour. Prorated rent before the move-in. Notice deadlines without thumbing through a calendar. The five we built first.

04 The 10 essentials

Computer compliance for leasing offices.

Print this. Pin it by the front desk. The shortest possible cheat sheet for keeping resident data safe and your office out of the news.

Always DO

01
Lock your screen when you step away.
Win + L on Windows. Ctrl + Cmd + Q on Mac. Every single time, even for a coffee run.
02
Use a password manager.
Bitwarden or 1Password. One strong master password, every other login generated and remembered for you.
03
Turn on two-factor authentication.
For Yardi, RentCafe, MRI, email, and banking. Use an authenticator app, not SMS, when offered.
04
Verify vendor banking changes by phone.
Always. Call a number you already have on file — never one from the email itself.
05
Report suspicious emails immediately.
Forward, don't click. Two minutes of caution beats two weeks of cleanup and a notification letter.

Never DON'T

01
Email passwords or credit card numbers.
Email is plain text in transit. If a tenant or vendor asks, send them to a secure portal or pick up the phone.
02
Share login credentials between staff.
Audit trails depend on one person, one login. Shared accounts are a compliance landmine.
03
Click links in unexpected emails.
Type the URL yourself, or use a bookmark. Hover before clicking and check the destination.
04
Plug in unknown USB drives.
Found in the parking lot, mailed to the office, dropped off "for the manager" — never. They're how networks get owned.
05
Use public Wi-Fi for tenant data.
Coffee shop, airport, the property's resident lounge. Use a hotspot or wait until you're back at the office.
05 Quick refresher

Six phishing patterns in thirty seconds.

If an email triggers any one of these, slow down. If it triggers two, it's almost certainly a scam.

  1. Lookalike sender domain. Check the actual address, not just the display name (yardi-billing.com is not yardi.com).
  2. Urgency. "Wire today or the deal falls through" is the oldest trick in the book.
  3. Banking changes. Vendor suddenly wants payments to a new account? Call a number you already have on file.
  4. Mismatched links. Hover before you click. If the URL doesn't match the displayed text, it's a no.
  5. Generic greeting. "Dear customer" instead of your name often means a mass phishing run.
  6. Unexpected attachments. Especially .zip, .iso, .htm, or anything you didn't ask for.

When in doubt, stop and forward it to me. Two minutes of caution beats two weeks of cleanup.
