Student housing providers manage a high volume of inquiries throughout the academic year. Prospective tenants ask about availability, lease terms, pricing, and move in dates, while current residents need support with maintenance requests, amenities, rules, and community updates. Handling all of this through email and phone quickly overwhelms housing teams.

AI chatbots give student housing providers a centralized way to support both prospects and residents. By answering common questions instantly and guiding users to the right next steps, Dante AI helps housing teams stay responsive without increasing administrative workload.

When used in student housing environments, AI chatbots can:

• Answer leasing and availability questions
• Explain pricing, lease terms, and application steps
• Share move in and move out guidelines
• Provide information about amenities and community rules
• Log resident questions to help teams improve support
