Rooms, inspections and repairs for student residences
Relyo is built for hotel and resort staff housing, and student residences can use it too: assign rooms, inspect each stay, handle repairs and split bills.
What Relyo keeps in one record
Room lists sit in spreadsheets, checks on paper and repairs in email. Relyo puts them in one record, but has no online applications or payments.
A room for everyone who needs one
Smart Match, room planning by your rules, proposes a room for each occupant still waiting and explains why.
See Smart MatchA portal for every occupant
Occupants see their room and dates, tick the move-in checklist and report repairs from their phone.
See the portalsEach person has their own dates
Every occupant has their own arrival and departure dates, so a one-semester stay sits beside full-year stays.
The same room rules for everyone
Grades set the room and utility allowance each occupant gets, checked on every assignment.
Problems flagged before arrivals
Operational Signals, 31 rule-based checks in one ranked list, flags arrivals with no room and unusual bills.
Every room inspected at move-in and move-out
Start each stay with a move-in inspection, and Relyo creates the move-out one 15 days before departure. Photos, meter readings and damage are recorded room by room.
- Four inspections per stay, two by the occupant
- Stays without a move-in check flagged after 7 days
- New damage linked to its stay, for reporting only
- Never charged for damage that was already there
Repair requests sent to the right maintainer
Students report a broken heater or blocked sink from their phone, and routing rules send it to the right specialty. Maintainers get a day plan, critical jobs first.
- Report issues in shared spaces such as laundry rooms
- Maintainers see only their own jobs
- Occupants can dispute a repair that did not work
- Works in the browser on any phone
Utility bills checked and shared by days stayed
Scan a bill and check it against each grade's allowance. Each grade decides who pays: the residence, the occupant, or both, split at the allowance.
- Bill scan reads 13 fields for you to review
- Split by days stayed, room changes included
- Cost per occupant and empty beds in each hall
- Rent and contracts for the buildings you lease
One report for each academic year
Each academic year is a period. Its report shows occupants housed, cost per occupant and each hall side by side, compared with the previous period.
- Occupants housed and cost per occupant against the previous period
- Each hall's repair tickets and cost side by side
- Next year starts from this one, with halls, occupants and amenities
- Past years archived, still reportable
Frequently asked questions
What is student housing management software?
Student housing management software runs the rooms and beds a university or residence provides: room planning, inspections, repairs and cost. Relyo is built for hotel and resort staff housing, and student residences can use it too. It has no student-specific features, such as online applications.
Is Relyo built for student housing?
No, Relyo is built for staff housing in hotels and resorts, and student residences can use it too. Each academic year works as a period, and grades set the room and allowance each occupant gets. There are no student-specific features, such as online applications or room selection by students.
Can a stay be shorter than the academic year?
Yes, in Relyo every occupant has their own arrival and departure dates inside the period, so a one-semester stay sits next to full-year ones. Relyo still creates the move-out inspection 15 days before each departure.
Can students apply or choose their room online?
No, in Relyo your residence team assigns rooms, with Smart Match proposing a room for every student by your rules. Students then see their room, dates and move-in checklist in their own portal.
Does Relyo collect rent from students?
No, Relyo does not collect rent. It tracks who owes what and what was paid, including proof of payment that students upload. The money moves outside Relyo, by bank transfer or your existing payment process.
Does Relyo connect to our student information system?
No, Relyo has no integrations or API. You import students from CSV or Excel, up to 500 rows per file, and the founders set up your halls with you.
How does Relyo compare with StarRez?
For university housing at scale, StarRez is a stronger fit: it is built for student housing, with online applications, room selection, resident billing and integrations. Relyo is built for hotel and resort staff housing and has none of these student features. It suits residences that run on spreadsheets today and want rooms, inspections, repairs and costs in one place.
