Rentana's new Lease Up Mode is the first and only revenue management solution to carry a dedicated lease-up plan through pricing recommendations, demand forecasting, and AI insights, giving operators a data-backed plan from pre-lease to stabilization.

BISWIRE/Oct. 8, 2026 —  Rentana, the AI-powered revenue intelligence platform for multifamily owners, operators, and developers, today announced Lease Up Mode, solving something multifamily revenue management has never solved before: the lease-up. Every multifamily revenue management platform on the market, from long-standing incumbents to newer entrants, was built for stabilized assets, leaving lease-ups to patchwork spreadsheet modeling and manual pricing, precisely when better tools exist. Built alongside the operators and developers running active lease-ups, Lease Up Mode gives multifamily teams the data-backed revenue intelligence to meet underwritten expectations and find opportunities to outperform them.

"Before Lease Up Mode, every pricing decision pointed back to occupancy, which is a lagging indicator on a lease-up," said Alex Bitto, Development & Training Manager, New Land Enterprises. "Now we can track against leased percentage goals, so our pricing is truly proactive and occupancy naturally follows. Customization is a big reason we chose Rentana, and this feature, along with the partnership behind it, keeps building that trust."

Few assets draw more scrutiny than a lease-up. With potentially $100 million invested and above-average returns expected, multifamily developers and operators need data-backed revenue intelligence from day one, yet most have been stuck managing lease-ups via spreadsheets, with limited insight into demand and pacing. The result is delayed stabilization and missed underwriting.

Rentana heard this from their industry partners and built the answer: advanced analytics, AI insights, and public demand signals tailored to the asset's specific market, giving teams visibility into what's lagging, moving, and pricing.

"Our partners loved the insights provided on their stabilized assets and told us they needed the same level of analytics built specifically for lease-ups, and we got to work," said Julie Blanc, Co-Founder and CEO of Rentana. "Our customers are our best building partners, the people closest to the pain and best positioned to tell us what will actually move the needle for them. That's how Lease Up Mode was built, and it's how everything at Rentana is built. The closeness we have with our customers, and our commitment to their success, is what drives everything we ship."

How Rentana Solved It

Turn on Lease Up Mode, enter a pre-lease start date and a stabilization target, and Rentana generates monthly lease targets around that property's timeline and seasonality. Setup takes minutes, and from there teams are working from a live plan toward the lease-up's underwritten goals:

• Targets that fit the delivery schedule and seasonality. With the flexibility to adjust as timelines shift.
  
• A dynamic lease forecast updating daily with the latest leasing and sales funnel insights.
  
• Recommendations calibrated to the plan. Pricing measures against lease targets, not a stabilized occupancy number, and AI surfaces trends sooner in the sparse data environment.
  
• Pro forma tracking for ownership updates. Teams can track achieved rents against pro forma for reporting and visibility.

Every recommendation stays transparent and explainable, and operators are still in control whether to accept, adjust, or reject each one.

A Second Opinion When The Data Is Thin

Lease Up Mode builds on the summer launch of Ask Rentana. Rentana's AI features now receive the full lease-up plan as context, so answers are measured against the property's own targets and stabilization date.

Operators can ask how they're tracking versus the plan and where the variances might be, whether a slow month is due to traffic, tours, or conversion, or why Rentana recommended a rent change on a specific unit type. Answers come with charts and tables for the next ownership update.

​Every property in Lease Up Mode runs in a private environment. Customer data is never shared across portfolios, market data is publicly sourced, and Rentana is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Lease Up Mode will be available to all Rentana customers at no additional cost.
