Program description

Property Unify (operated by Penn Treaty Properties) sends operational text messages — billing and charge notices (e.g., utility balances due), repair and maintenance status updates, alerts when a lease or other document is ready to sign, and standard account communication from your property manager — to tenants who opt in, and messages about an application in progress to rental applicants who opt in. These messages are operational and transactional; we do not send marketing texts.

How you opt in (consent)

Enrolling in text alerts is optional and separate from your lease. It is never a condition of renting, of using Property Unify, or of completing any transaction — every notice we text is also delivered by email or in your tenant portal, so text messaging is only an optional convenience. Choosing not to enroll, or later opting out, has no effect on your tenancy.

A tenant's mobile number is added to this messaging program through one voluntary, web-based method: our public tenant sign-up page. Creating a tenant account there is the primary purpose of the page; text messaging is an optional add-on. To enroll, the tenant checks an SMS consent box that is unchecked by default and must affirmatively check it — creating the account does not enroll the tenant in text messages. New tenants complete this same form as a follow-up after move-in.

A rental applicant's mobile number is added through one further voluntary, web-based method: the rental application itself. One step of the application asks for a mobile number and offers a separate SMS consent box which is unchecked by default. Starting or submitting an application does not enroll anybody in text messages, consent is not a condition of applying, and nothing is recorded unless the number is valid and the box was affirmatively checked. Opting out, or never opting in, has no effect on the application.

The disclosure shown to an applicant reads: “I agree to receive recurring SMS text messages from Property Unify (operated by Penn Treaty Properties) about this application: scheduling, reminders, and report links. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not required to apply. We will not share mobile information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.” The Privacy Policy and these SMS Terms are links on that same label. We record the date and time of each opt-in and the exact wording that was agreed to.

The disclosure shown reads: “I agree to receive recurring SMS text messages from Property Unify (operated by Penn Treaty Properties) about my rental unit: billing and charge notices, repair and maintenance updates, documents ready for signature, and account communication from my property manager. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of tenancy.” Privacy Policy and Terms links appear on the same page. We record the date and time of each opt-in.

Opting out is always available: reply STOP to any message. Turning texts back on is done only through the sign-up page above.

We do not purchase, rent, or message phone numbers obtained from third parties. Only people with an existing relationship with Penn Treaty Properties are eligible to enroll: a tenant with an active lease, or an applicant with an application in progress for one of our units.

Types of messages you may receive

• Billing and charge notices — e.g., a utility balance that is your responsibility, with amount and due date.
• Repair and maintenance updates — scheduling, technician windows, and completion notices.
• Document notifications — a lease, renewal, or disclosure is ready for electronic signature.
• Standard account communication from your property manager — move-in coordination, inspection scheduling, confirmations, and account messages.
• If you opted in while applying: messages about that application only — viewing appointment scheduling, reminders about an outstanding step, and links to review or sign a document.

Sample messages

• “Property Unify: Philadelphia Water bill for 123 Main St: $98.27 is due by 08/13. This account is tenant responsibility — please pay the provider directly to avoid late fees. Reply STOP to opt out.”
• “Property Unify: Repair update for 123 Main St Unit 2 — the plumber is scheduled Tue between 9am–12pm. Reply with any access instructions. Reply STOP to opt out.”
• “Property Unify: Your lease renewal for 123 Main St is ready to sign electronically. Check your email for the signing link. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.”

Message frequency

Message frequency varies. You will typically receive a few messages per month, depending on billing cycles, repairs, and documents in progress.

Cost

Property Unify does not charge for these messages. Message and data rates may apply.

How to opt out (STOP)

Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. After you send STOP, we send a single confirmation message and then stop sending texts to that number.
