Method

How we ranked this list

Student housing is a calendar: nominations, guarantors, room-level occupancy, cohort move-ins and a summer of voids and works. Software shaped only around high-street single lets will fight you.

Yorlet’s student housing use case is built for that volume. Arthur’s room/unit/building hierarchy is a common alternative on smaller books. Yardi and MRI appear on larger PBSA. Fixflo is the usual repairs specialist.

Criteria

  • Room-level occupancy and academic-year tenancies
  • High-volume applications and payments at intake
  • Maintenance that survives move-in week
  • A resident channel students will actually use
