Home / Tenant announcements

For landlords and PG owners

Tell every tenant at once, without a group

Water going off, lift under repair, a festival notice. Say it once to the RentStalk agent, choose the buildings it applies to, and every tenant gets it on WhatsApp — with no group chat and no saved contacts.

How do I message all my tenants at once?

Tell the RentStalk landlord agent what you need to say and which properties it applies to. It shows you how many tenants will receive the notice and who will be skipped, then sends it to all of them on WhatsApp in one go. Each tenant gets it as a normal message, so no group is created and nobody sees anyone else's number.

  • One message reaches every tenant in the chosen properties
  • Scoped per property — one building's notice stays in that building
  • You see who will be skipped, and why, before it sends
  • No WhatsApp group, no saved contacts, no broadcast list
  • Tenants cannot see each other's numbers
  • Arrives on WhatsApp — nothing for a tenant to install

What an announcement does

Said once, delivered to all

Write it the way you would write it to one tenant. Everyone in scope gets it.

Chosen per property

One building, several, or everything you own — see tenant management.

The skipped list, before you send

Counts you can trust, because the ones who will not get it are named.

No group, no shared numbers

Each tenant gets their own message. Nobody can reply to the whole building.

A copy for your own record

You keep what went out and when, so there is no argument about it later.

In the language you type in

English, Hindi, Hinglish, Haryanvi, Bhojpuri, Marathi and Kannada.

The group chat is not the answer

Most landlords with more than three tenants have tried a WhatsApp group, and most have quietly muted it. A group exposes every tenant's number to every other tenant, turns one complaint into a conversation the whole building has to sit through, and keeps running long after the notice it was made for.

The alternative is usually worse: forwarding the same message one by one, from a contact list that is never quite complete, and losing track of who you have already sent it to.

An announcement is the thing you actually wanted — say it once, each tenant receives it privately, and nothing is left behind afterwards.

Who will not get it, before it goes

A count on its own is comforting and slightly dishonest. "Sent to 12" tells you nothing about the two tenants whose numbers were never recorded, and you find out about them on the day they call to ask why the water is off.

So the preview shows both sides: who it will reach, and who it will not, with the reason against each name — no phone number on record, onboarding not finished, no active lease. All three are fixable in a minute, and far better fixed before the notice than after.

What landlords actually send

Water supply off between 10 and 4. Tank cleaning on Sunday. The lift is under repair, use the stairs. Painting starts Monday, please move vehicles. Diwali timings for the main gate. Rent due date falls on a holiday this month.

Short, time-bound, and the same for everybody — which is exactly the kind of message that is tedious to send one by one and ends up not being sent at all.

Rent reminders are not announcements

A rent reminder is personal: it carries one tenant's amount, their due date and their bill. It goes out on its own schedule and keeps going until that bill is paid, which is handled in rent collection.

An announcement is the opposite — the same words for everyone, sent once, about something happening to the building rather than to an account.

How to send an announcement

  1. Tell the agent what you need to say

    Water supply off tomorrow, the lift under repair, a festival notice, a reminder about parking. Write it the way you would write it to one tenant.

  2. Pick the properties it applies to

    One building, a few of them, or everything you own. A notice about one lift should not reach a tenant three localities away.

  3. See exactly who it will reach

    Before anything is sent you are shown the count, and the tenants who will not receive it with the reason for each — no phone number, onboarding not finished, no active lease.

  4. Send

    Every tenant gets it on WhatsApp, in one go. You get a copy so you know what went out and when.

Say it once

Water, repairs, timings, notices — tell the agent, pick the buildings, and every tenant has it on WhatsApp.

Tenant announcement FAQs

How can I send one message to all my tenants at once?

Tell the RentStalk landlord agent on WhatsApp what you want to say and which properties it applies to. It shows you how many tenants will receive it and who will not, then sends it to all of them in one go. You do not need a broadcast list, a group, or everyone's number saved on your phone.

Does it create a WhatsApp group?

No, and that is deliberate. Each tenant receives the notice as a normal message from you. They cannot see each other's numbers, they cannot reply to the whole building, and one annoyed tenant cannot start an argument everyone has to read.

Can I send it to only one building?

Yes. You choose which properties the announcement applies to, so a notice about one building's water tank goes to that building only.

Will I know if someone did not get it?

Yes. The preview names the tenants who will be skipped and why — usually no phone number on record, onboarding not completed, or no active lease. Telling you "12 sent" while two people silently never heard about the notice would be worse than useless on the day the water is actually off.

What should I use announcements for?

Anything the whole building needs to know at the same time: water or power cuts, tank cleaning, lift or pump repairs, painting work, a festival or parking notice, a change in timings. Rent reminders are separate — those go out on their own against each tenant's bill.

Do tenants need an app to receive it?

No. It arrives on WhatsApp, which they already have. There is nothing to install and no account to make.
