Posted on November 15, 2008
RentMaster version 8.5 has been released and is available now

These are the key highlights.

  • The Tenant details screen now allows you to add pictures just like the property details screen.
  • The Link To button on the tenant and owner details screen now allows you to quickly send a TXT/SMS message to that person.
  • The Link To button on the property details screen now links directly to the work orders for that property.
  • If a transaction amount or property associated with a transaction is changed, and the transaction has already been disbursed, a warning message will now be shown.
  • You can now export the Ledger Transactions report to a CSV file, and it will output all items on the same line instead of splitting into 2 lines like it does when it is printed.
  • The income entry screen now shows the tenants current rent amount after selecting a tenant.
  • Important notification blog posts will pop up automatically inside RentMaster if the blog reader is on.
  • Also other minor changes included in this release include...

  • On the contractor list screen the filter combo box was not working. It is fixed.
  • If a tenant moved in part way through the month with monthly rent frequencies, the rent amount due in the first rent period was out by 1 day.
  • When the software is uninstalled, an optional browser survey is shown so we can better know how to improve the software for these customers.
  • The tenant statement report, which prints next months rent in advance, was not taking into account a future pending rent change.
  • When the automatic software update is run, it now downloads and stores the install file in windows temp folder, because Windows Vista sometimes blocks access to the RentMaster folder
  • When the Print Date is printed on the owner mail merge, the date was shown in a short date format such as DD/MM/YY instead of the longer format shown everywhere else. It now prints the longer format.
