<Warning>
  This option is only viable if Latchel is handling maintenance for **all units** in Rent Manager, as it applies a global change across the system.
</Warning>

### **Redirect Maintenance: Before Login to Rent Manager**

After disabling tenant access to create maintenance requests in Rent Manager, add a **login page banner** to redirect residents to Latchel. This ensures requests are submitted directly through Latchel for proper tracking and faster service.

Also under **System Web Preferences**, go to **Tenant Web Access**. Then click the **pencil icon**.

</Frame>

Then **add your personalized banner** as shown below. You can customize your banner however you like. Click **OK** to save.

<Tip>
  If you like to redirect customers to Latchel, just add your resident's work order URL by clicking **Insert Hyperlink**.
