Changelog

Releases

A running ledger of the small, careful improvements we ship to Occupello.

  1. 1.20.0

    Free trials, plans billed per property, and a fresh new look

    Start a 30-day free trial with no card, pick a plan priced per property with secure Stripe checkout, and enjoy a redesigned Occupello on every screen size.

    • Try Occupello free for 30 days

      Sign up on your own, in English or Spanish, with email or Google. Your workspace starts a 30-day free trial right away — no credit card — and a banner shows how many days are left.

    • Simple per-property pricing

      The Ledger, The Workshop and The Estate are priced per active property, monthly or yearly with two months free. Drafts count, archived properties don't, and every price shown comes straight from Stripe.

    • Secure checkout and self-serve billing

      Subscribe through Stripe checkout, then update your card, see invoices, change plans or cancel from Billing. Adding a property shows the prorated charge before you confirm; archiving one gives you a credit.

    • Archive properties instead of losing them

      Archive a property you no longer manage to stop paying for it, and unarchive it anytime with everything intact.

    • A redesigned, mobile-friendly Occupello

      A new look across the public site, sign-in, owner screens, admin and portals, built to work on phones, tablets and desktops in light or dark mode.

    • Safer accounts

      Two-step sign-in, a list of your active sessions, bot protection on sign-up and password reset, data export, and draft Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages.

    • Housekeeping

      Hundreds of new automated checks and many fixes to sign-up, payments and billing screens make everyday work more reliable.

  2. 1.19.0

    Document types, a required-documents checklist, and a Documents tab

    Every tenant file now has a clear type, each lease shows which required documents are still missing, and lease, application and resident pages gather all paperwork on their own Documents tab.

    • Every file has a type

      Pick a type for each upload from a grouped, searchable list — ID, lease and agreements, disclosures, application and screening, income, insurance, move-in/out, notices, or Other with a short description. Each file shows its type and you can change it anytime; sensitive types stay locked to owners and admins.

    • See what's missing on every lease

      A Required documents checklist shows what you have and what's missing — signed lease, photo ID, application, proof of income, move-in checklist, Florida radon disclosure, deposit notice, and lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, with renter's insurance recommended. Upload a missing item in one click; nothing ever blocks saving.

    • A Documents tab and smarter Vault folders

      Lease, application and resident pages now have their own Documents tab with roomy upload shortcuts and files grouped by category. Vault tenant folders follow the same categories, uploads pre-select the right type, and search matches type names.

    • A cleaner property page

      The property header puts the address and SitePulse handover on one quiet line, tucks extra actions into a ⋯ menu and shows larger stats. Occupancy rings, summary cards, tab underlines, the notification badge, the sidebar logo and dark mode all look right, and phones no longer scroll sideways.

    • Housekeeping

      New checks for document types, older type mapping and the checklist rules keep document handling reliable.

  3. 1.18.0

    Tenant document uploads, and lease paperwork in the Vault

    Upload each tenant's signed lease, photo ID and Social Security card when you create their lease, then find them later right in the Vault and on each property's Documents tab.

    • Upload documents as you create the lease

      The add tenant and new lease forms now take the existing signed lease, a driver's license or photo ID, and the Social Security card — each slot accepts several PDFs or photos, and everything is optional so nothing blocks saving.

    • ID and Social Security cards stay private

      Sensitive files carry a lock label and can only be opened, added or deleted by workspace owners and admins, through short-lived private links that are never public.

    • Find lease paperwork in the Vault

      Lease, application and resident pages list every uploaded file to open, download, delete or add more. The Vault and each property's Documents tab show them as Property › Unit › Tenant folders with Lease and Identification folders inside, and the new Vault search finds files by name or tenant.

    • Housekeeping

      Expanded checks for file types, size limits and folder organization, plus updated documentation, keep document handling reliable.

  4. 1.17.0

    Private application invites, easier tenant setup, and a clearer inbox

    Invite prospects without publishing a home, add tenants without an email address, and keep conversations and daily decisions easier to follow.

    • Invite prospects from wherever you work

      Invite to apply is now easy to find on Applications, properties, vacant units, unit details, and search. Prospects can open a private link and apply without signing in, even while a listing is a draft; copy or resend the link and track whether it was opened or used, without putting the home on the public marketplace.

    • Add tenants without an email address

      Email is now optional when adding a tenant, assigning an applicant to a unit, adding a resident, or creating a lease — the portal invite is simply skipped when there's no email.

    • Keep conversations in order

      A better-aligned inbox brings conversations, replies, and contact details together, with team chats, tags, pins, reminders, and muted views. Connected email, text, and WhatsApp channels sit alongside AI summaries and reply suggestions, with a clearer layout on phone and desktop.

    • A clearer portfolio, with decisions still yours

      Larger, more readable pages, cleaner public homes and listing pages, a calmer workspace switcher, and a choice of sidebar or top navigation make it easier to find your place. Crew notes and waiting decisions bring daily work into focus, and you can save crew preferences while payments, applicant decisions, and publishing remain yours to approve.

    • Housekeeping

      Expanded checks, tidied shared layouts and forms, updated documentation, and fixes for sign-in screens, record details, mobile spacing, and private preview submissions make everyday work more reliable.

  5. v1.16

    Track every tour request, and cleaner Occupello-branded listings

    Tour requests now come in with the prospect's details and preferred time, so you can track each one from request to completed tour, right from the listing and your inbox.

    • A real tour request form

      Visitors give their name, email or phone, a preferred date and time, and an optional message, and see a clear confirmation, in English and Spanish.

    • A Tours tab on every listing

      Switch between Listing and Tours in List for rent to see total requests, upcoming confirmed tours, completed tours, no-shows, and how views turn into tours and applications, with a 30- or 90-day trend.

    • Manage each request

      Filter by status, move a tour from Requested to Confirmed, Completed, No-show or Cancelled, and keep private notes on each one.

    • Tour requests in your inbox

      New requests appear in their own Tour requests list linked to the listing. Reply from there and the prospect gets an email; status changes show in the conversation.

    • Cleaner, Occupello-branded listing pages

      Public listing pages drop the extra site menus and carry Occupello branding, with Apply, Book a tour and Message right where they were.

  6. v1.15

    A new rental listing page, ready-to-rent handovers from SitePulse

    Every rental now gets a beautiful public listing page, and homes finished in SitePulse arrive with their unit, photos and a draft listing ready to publish.

    • A new public listing page

      A full-width photo slider, a gallery you can filter by room with a full-screen viewer, key facts, rental terms with an estimated move-in total, features and amenities, and a map that keeps the exact address private when you choose. Apply, Book a tour and Message sit right on the page, on phone and desktop, in English and Spanish, with strong Occupello branding and no distracting site menu.

    • See your listing in one click

      A "View public listing" button on every property and unit — or "Preview listing" while it's still a draft — with a one-tap Copy link.

    • Private preview and listing stats

      Preview drafts before they go public, and see views, applications, tour requests and messages right in the List for rent tab.

    • Draft listings from SitePulse

      Homes handed over from SitePulse get a draft listing per unit, pre-filled with photos, room labels, beds and baths, amenities and description. Your edits are never overwritten and nothing publishes on its own.

    • Single homes show their unit

      The Units tab now always shows, single-family homes included, with all photos attached to the unit.

    • More reliable handovers

      Handovers from SitePulse now arrive in small steps that retry by themselves, with a step-by-step log under Settings → API tokens.

  7. v1.14

    Unified inbox, marketing campaigns, and SitePulse handover

    All your property conversations now live in one easy-to-read inbox, you can plan marketing campaigns without leaving Occupello, and finished homes from SitePulse arrive ready to rent — plus public listings, assistant connections, and a round of fixes.

    • Unified Inbox

      One inbox for all your messages, organised by property, with a layout tuned for reading and larger, easier-to-read text.

    • Marketing campaigns

      Plan and run marketing campaigns for your properties from inside Occupello, with ready-made playbooks, audiences, and assets.

    • Handover from SitePulse

      Homes finished in SitePulse can now arrive in Occupello automatically as draft properties, with their documents, photos, contractors, and cost basis. Create a workspace API token under Workspace settings → API tokens to connect.

    • Workspace API tokens

      Create and revoke tokens for trusted integrations, and see your most recent imports at a glance.

    • Public listings and marketplace

      Publish vacant units as public listings on the Occupello marketplace and your own branded workspace site, with a working inquiry form and a full-screen photo gallery.

    • Connect your AI assistant

      Trusted AI assistants can now securely read your properties, units, leases, payments, and tickets, and open maintenance tickets on your behalf.

    • Fixes and privacy

      Exact addresses stay private on public listings until you choose to share them, marketplace search handles special characters, and every listing gets a reliable web address.

  8. v1.13

    AI-drafted releases and one-click announcements

    Admins can now draft a release with AI, publish it to the public changelog, and announce it to every workspace user with a branded email in a single click — all from the admin dashboard.

    • AI-drafted release notes

      Paste raw notes about what shipped and let the assistant fill in version, title, summary, and highlights in Occupello's editorial voice — then review and edit before publishing.

    • Database-backed release timeline

      New releases created from the admin dashboard flow straight into the public /releases page and the in-app walkthrough, alongside the built-in history.

    • Announce a release to every user

      One button emails all workspace members a branded release announcement with a launch button that forces the latest version to load from the server — with deduplication so nobody gets it twice.

  9. v1.12

    Invite-only access and a more personal public site

    The public site now knows who's signed in, and new accounts are invitation-only. Existing users can log in or sign up from the topnav, while unknown emails get a clear, friendly message instead of an account.

    • Log in and sign up from the marketing site

      The public topnav now shows clear Log in and Sign up actions, so existing users can reach the app without hunting for the URL.

    • Your name, your app shortcut

      When you're already signed in, the topnav displays your display name and links straight to the app — no redundant login prompts.

    • New users are gently turned away

      Public sign-ups are disabled. If someone tries to authenticate with an unrecognized email, they see a clear message explaining that new accounts require an invitation.

    • Feedback emails you can trust

      Resolved feedback notifications now route to the correct operations address, include a force-refresh link to the latest app version, and carry marketing materials in the footer.

    • Draggable on-page widgets

      The feedback widget and role simulator are now draggable, stay visible on screen, and remember their last position.

    • Snappier admin feedback

      Resolving feedback in admin is now optimistic with per-row loading states, so the list responds immediately while the server catches up.

  10. v1.11

    Property finance, edit-in-place, and document vault

    Properties are now a first-class financial record: track loans, taxes, and insurance from the same wizard used to create them, edit any tenant profile after the fact, and attach contracts or documents at the property level.

    • Edit properties with the full wizard

      The edit flow uses the same multi-step wizard as creation, pre-loaded with your data — including the new Finance step for loans, taxes, and insurance.

    • Contracts & documents on properties

      Attach deeds, HOA docs, service contracts, and insurance policies directly to a property. Stored privately in your workspace and available from both the create and edit flows.

    • Edit any tenant profile

      Update a tenant's personal info, lease terms, occupants, and internal notes after they've been added — no need to recreate the record.

    • Save tenants as drafts

      Missing information? Save a tenant in draft mode and finish later. Validation clearly highlights what's still required before promoting to an active lease.

    • Property toolbox

      Move-to-draft, add tenant, and edit property are now a clean icon toolbar in the property header, with tooltips.

  11. v1.10

    Manual tenant onboarding & tighter property focus

    You can now add tenants directly from the management UI with the same thoroughness as an application, while navigation inside a property stays grounded in the property context instead of bouncing back to the workspace.

    • Add tenants from anywhere

      Add a tenant manually from the property dashboard, a unit, or the workspace resident list. The form mirrors the application flow — lease terms, personal details, occupants, history, documents, and more.

    • Residents have a full life story

      Open any resident from the workspace list to see their unit, lease history, payments, and maintenance tickets all in one place.

    • Recently visited units, front and center

      The property dashboard now leads with recently visited units as prominent shortcut cards, just like the workspace dashboard does for properties.

    • Actions stay inside the property

      Creating work items, viewing applications, and navigating back from detail pages now keep you at the property level instead of jumping to the workspace root.

    • Cleaner property dashboard layout

      The property hero and KPI grid have been tightened into a more balanced layout with clear status badges and action buttons.

  12. v1.9

    A tenant portal that stays in its lane

    Invited tenants now get a focused, secure experience: the moment their lease is approved and they sign in, they see only what they need — pay their rent and raise a maintenance ticket — with nothing from the management side leaking through.

    • Tenants see only their essentials

      The tenant portal is trimmed to two things that matter: paying rent (with full payment history) and submitting or tracking maintenance tickets.

    • Invited tenants land in the right place

      Accepting a lease invitation now correctly treats the account as a tenant, so invited residents no longer see the full management app by mistake.

    • Pay rent, front and center

      The portal opens straight to Pay rent, making it obvious how to settle a balance the moment a tenant signs in.

  13. v1.8

    Residents, leasing & workspace focus

    A tenant-first update: see a resident's whole story in one place, breeze through leasing decisions without losing your spot, and keep the workspace focused on the people and places you manage.

    • The full story on every resident

      Open a resident to see their entire life in the app — the unit they rent, their leases, rent payments, and maintenance tickets — all on one page.

    • Residents are your tenants

      The workspace resident list now shows all your tenants, each paired with the unit they're renting, so people and places always line up.

    • Approve or deny applicants without detours

      Opening a pending application now reliably shows the full details with clear Approve and Deny actions, and acting on one keeps you right where the unit lives instead of bouncing back to the list.

    • Smarter tenant search in Messages

      Start typing a tenant's name in Messages and pick them from an autocomplete dropdown — no more scrolling to find the right person.

    • A cleaner unit creation flow

      The final step of adding a unit now shows an enabled "Create unit" button instead of a disabled Next, so finishing is one confident click.

    • A more focused workspace

      Billing and accounting are tucked away at the workspace level to keep the space centered on managing residents, units, and day-to-day operations.

  14. v1.7

    A dashboard that works the way you do

    Make the dashboard yours: collapse any section to focus on what matters, and the layout remembers your choices next time you sign in. Collapsed sections still surface their most important numbers at a glance.

    • Collapse any dashboard row

      Every section — from headline metrics to trends, portfolio performance, and recent records — can be collapsed with a single click to keep your dashboard tidy and focused.

    • Your layout is remembered

      Collapsed or expanded, each section keeps its state between visits and across devices, so the dashboard opens exactly how you left it.

    • Key numbers even when collapsed

      Collapsed sections still show their critical KPIs inline — like income, expenses, NOI, occupancy, and open work — so you never lose sight of the signal.

    • A cleaner, more compact view

      Tighter spacing, equal-height cards, and no more sideways scrolling make the whole dashboard easier to scan on any screen.

  15. v1.6

    Ticket status, everywhere you work

    Managing maintenance tickets is faster: change a ticket's status right from the backlog, the board, or the detail panel — no extra clicks, and it saves instantly.

    • Inline status dropdown in the backlog

      Update a ticket's status straight from the Status column in the backlog list. Move a ticket from Not Started to In Progress to Done without opening it.

    • Status control in the ticket panel

      Open any ticket and change its status from a clear dropdown under the title — the change saves right away and is reflected across every view.

    • Kanban board by status

      Switch to Board mode to see tickets grouped into swimlanes by status, and drag cards between columns to update where each job stands.

    • Search and filter tickets

      Find work fast with search plus filters by status and trade, so the right tickets are always one glance away.

  16. v1.5

    AI assistants, instant imports & token billing

    A big step up in day-to-day leverage: every property gets its own AI representative, adding a property is now as easy as dropping a file or link, and a new token system powers it all with clear, in-app billing.

    • An AI agent for every property

      Each property now has its own AI assistant that acts as its representative — ask it about the property, its units, leases, and history and get answers in clean, formatted responses.

    • Add a property from a file or link

      Skip the manual form. Upload a listing document or paste a link and Occupello extracts the details to create the property for you, ready to review and save.

    • Token-based AI billing

      AI features now run on workspace tokens with live balances, transaction history, and starter grants — so usage is transparent and always under your control.

    • Buy tokens when you need them

      Pick up token packs straight from the billing screen, with purchases credited to your workspace automatically.

    • Admin token controls

      Super admins can grant or revoke tokens for any workspace with an audited ledger entry and quick-add chips for common amounts.

    • Cleaner feedback filtering

      Admin feedback now filters by status, severity, and type through proper dropdowns that clearly show what's applied.

  17. v1.4

    Tickets & contractors, refined

    Smoother ticket workflows, a richer contractor profile, and a calmer way to invite operators to the platform.

    • Assign without losing your place

      Assigning a contractor on the ticket list now updates the row in place — no more jumping to the bottom of the list.

    • All contractors in the dropdown

      The ticket assignment dropdown now pulls every contractor in your workspace, and the underlying link to your contractor records was fixed so assignments actually stick.

    • Five-star contractor rating

      The estimated online rating on a contractor profile is now displayed as a proper five-star tile with partial fills.

    • Online presence analysis

      Open a contractor and run an online presence analysis — reputation, years active, and confidence — then apply the findings straight to the profile.

    • Trade is a dropdown when editing

      Editing a contractor now uses a proper trade dropdown so entries stay consistent across the workspace.

    • Waiting list for new accounts

      Sign-ups now flow into a waiting list; existing users keep their normal login. Super admins can review and approve requests from the new Waiting list screen.

    • Friendlier navigation

      Menu items are pluralized and "My Property" is now "Properties" — small wording fixes that make the app feel more at home.
