🔧 Fresh Features, Smarter Workflows
August came with a stack of improvements across nearly every corner of MagicDoor, from billing to reporting to how you chat with tenants.
Here's what’s new:
📄 Section 8 & Subsidy Tools
Handling subsidies? You're covered.
You can now apply Section 8 or other lease subsidies directly inside MagicDoor. This update helps landlords manage subsidized rent flows cleanly, with the right breakdown across tenant and agency payments.
It’s one of those features that most platforms skip. We didn’t.
🏘 Leasing & Billing
Managing leases just got more flexible.
Create and send lease invoices
Add delinquency notes directly into the lease timeline
📊 Reporting
The reports you actually use, now easier to read and more customizable:
Rent Roll
Accounts Payable
Income
Delinquency
All improved for clarity, filtering, and day-to-day use.
📬 Communication & Compliance
Make your communication cleaner, and clearer:
Tenants now get renters insurance reminders if you enable them
A new “Permission to Text” field appears on all rental applications
Replies like “confirm” now trigger smart responses, even when no action is required
Anyone who signs up for a resource event now receives a confirmation email
💬 New: Chat Got a Major Upgrade
Your inbox just leveled up. The new chat module is faster, more useful, and built for how PMs work.
Pin chats for quick access
Assign conversations to specific property managers
View property type linked to each chat
See images without leaving the thread
Whether you’re tracking a repair or checking in with a tenant, you’ll feel the difference.

🆕 New in MagicDoor’s blog
We’ve published two new guides to help you better understand what tools and strategies actually make rental management smoother, especially if you're doing it solo or with a small team.
This guide walks through everything it takes to manage rentals efficiently, from setting up your lease process to staying on top of maintenance and tenant communication. It’s built for independent landlords who want a clear system without getting buried in tasks.
If you’re ready to tighten up how you run your properties, this is a great place to start.
Managing short-term rentals comes with its own set of challenges, including guest turnover, messaging, calendar sync, and more.
This post compares the top software tools that help small operators handle it all in less time. If you're juggling multiple listings (or planning to), it’ll help you pick the right setup for your workflow.
Cheers,
Kasper from MagicDoor.
