Manage seasonal peaks with ease thanks to automated security deposit payment requests and refund issuance, all generated straight from your property management system — Yardi, Realpage or Enrata. 

The Roost platform helps reduce staff stress and overtime while giving students the ability to choose how they want their refund — by roommate or unit and via direct deposit, instantly via debit card or mailed check (varies by jurisdiction).

Modern deposit payment methods

Roost syncs with your property management system to enable split deposits by the bed/unit and even guarantor payments. Roost automatically posts payments to the ledger and notifies the site team.

Fast refunds the way they want em’

Students choose their preference — direct deposit, via debit card or mailed check. Based on your approval, Roost disperses the refund and mails deposit accounting statements as required by the jurisdiction.

Resident financial amenities built-in

From guides and savings to interest rewards to credit-building for paying rent on-time, a full suite of financial amenities are available to students at no cost to you.
