Overview

StarRez Resident Self-Service provides a mobile-optimized resident portal that lets residents apply online, access housing documents, select rooms, book appointments and shared spaces, report maintenance and community concerns, and receive real-time status updates — all designed to reduce staff workload and improve resident satisfaction across student housing, PBSA, co-living and similar residential communities.

Features and Capabilities
