5. Handy Properties Text Messaging Program

Program name

The messaging program is called the Handy Properties Text Messaging Program.

Program description

When you voluntarily enroll, Handy Properties LLC may send you text messages concerning:

Rental inquiries and requested property information

Showing scheduling and confirmations

Rental application or screening status

Lease, account, or tenancy-related notices

Maintenance requests and repair scheduling

Property access coordination

Resident customer service

Other communications directly related to your inquiry, application, or tenancy

Handy Properties LLC will only send messages that are consistent with the consent you provided.

Consent to receive messages

You may enroll by entering your mobile telephone number into a Handy Properties LLC form and affirmatively selecting the applicable text messaging consent checkbox.

The checkbox will not be selected in advance. Providing SMS consent is voluntary and is not a condition of applying for, obtaining, or renting housing.

You represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the mobile telephone number you provide and that you are authorized to consent to receive messages at that number.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies depending on your rental inquiry, showing, application, tenancy, maintenance activity, and your interactions with Handy Properties LLC.

Message and data charges

Message and data rates may apply to messages sent by Handy Properties LLC and to messages you send to Handy Properties LLC. Contact your wireless provider with questions about your messaging or data plan.

Opting out

You may cancel the SMS service at any time by replying STOP to any message from Handy Properties LLC.

After you reply STOP, you may receive one additional text message confirming that you have been unsubscribed. You will then no longer receive text messages under that messaging program unless you affirmatively enroll again.

A request to stop text messages will not prevent Handy Properties LLC from contacting you through another lawful method when communication is permitted or required under a lease, applicable law, or an existing business relationship.

Getting help

Reply HELP to any Handy Properties LLC text message for assistance.

Carrier disclaimer

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Message delivery is subject to effective transmission by your wireless service provider and is outside the complete control of Handy Properties LLC.

Supported devices and carriers

Your mobile device and wireless carrier must support SMS or MMS messaging. Messaging services may not be available through every carrier or device.

Mobile information and consent

Mobile telephone numbers, SMS enrollment information, and text messaging consent will not be sold, rented, transferred, or provided to third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Handy Properties LLC may use service providers that assist with telecommunications, website hosting, customer support, property management, or messaging technology. Such providers may use mobile information only to perform services for Handy Properties LLC.

Text messaging consent is specific to Handy Properties LLC and will not be transferred to another business for its independent use.
