Property management software

Yardi Breeze

Yardi Breeze is cloud property management and accounting software from Yardi Systems. The base product covers residential and commercial properties in the U.S.; an upgraded Breeze tier adds affordable, HOA and condo, manufactured housing, and self storage property types, along with custom reporting, invoice processing, job cost tracking, and investment management.

Buying is deliberately simple. There are no setup charges and nothing is paid up front, and there are no data conversion charges, whether data is keyed in or imported; existing Yardi Genesis users can convert at no charge. Support is live chat during business hours with no usage cap, email after hours, up to 8 hours of free phone support during setup on Breeze, and 16 hours plus a dedicated account manager on the upgraded tier. Training videos, help documentation, and product tours are built in, and clients are invited to REfresh, a free annual virtual user conference.

Feature sets differ by property type. Residential covers vacancy and prospect tracking, email and text communications, walk-in payments through PayNearMe, owner payments and reports, and maintenance; commercial adds automated CAM reconciliation, a commercial tenant portal, and invoice approval; self storage adds security gate integration, enhanced rent and discount tools, and access to RentCafe.com storage leads; manufactured housing adds lot availability, utilities and charges, ILS posting for vacant lots, and management of owned or rented homes and RVs. There is an upgrade path from Breeze to the upgraded tier and on to Yardi Voyager.

What to check directly: minimum monthly charges apply even though there is no minimum unit count, and several listed features are marked as carrying additional fees, as do optional add-ons such as resident screening, which are priced per transaction. Confirm which features are available for the specific property type before committing.
