Management Settings
Digital, dynamic controls for how your properties are managed.
Caretaker gives you as much control over and visibility into how your properties are managed as possible without doing any of the day-to-day work yourself. This begins with reviewing and adjusting your management settings.
Most of these settings can be adjusted by you from the settings section of the dashboard. Certain settings are specific to the unit and therefore need to be adjusted in the Unit Overview.
