Chicago Landlord

My friends at the Chicago Metropolitan Tenants Organization announced their new app yesterday: Square Away.  I think it is pretty cool.  It will allow your tenants to communicate a problem with you and send you a photo via their phone.  How many of us have gotten that call on a Sunday morning where you tenant tells you about a leak or lack of heat only to inform you that it has been going on for days, but they are just getting around to calling you.  I think it would be helpful if they could tell you about an issue before it got really bad.  Hopefully this will make it easier.  

Even better the app offer landlords easy links to the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance, which you need to provide to your tenants and now can from your phone.  I was just checking out the landlord side of the app and realized that there is new Bed Bug Flyer that has to be shared with tenants starting December of 2013, that is only a week away!  Go to the app yourself for info about Bed Bugs and more:
