# AveryIQ > AveryIQ helps people take control of their rentals with free residential property-management software and Avery, the AI coworker for routine work. Owners and property managers with any number of units can use rent collection, accounting, leasing, maintenance, communications, and owner reporting, with optional usage credits and no minimum unit count or unit ceiling. ## Product Capabilities - **Trust Accounting and Owner Reporting**: AveryIQ includes trust and operating fund separation, bank reconciliation, security deposits, management fees, owner statements, contributions, and distributions. - **Automatic Rent Payments**: ACH autopay with integrated accounting, plus support for credit and debit cards and remote check deposits. - **Workflow Automation and After-Hours Answering**: Avery is the automation built into AveryIQ for routine communication, work-order triage, lead follow-up, scheduling, and other repeatable work. - **Maintenance Automation**: Property-specific guidance helps residents troubleshoot common issues and helps property teams coordinate with approved vendors. - **Leasing Automation**: AveryIQ collects and qualifies leads, nurtures conversations, schedules tours, gathers feedback, and supports the path from inquiry to lease. - **AI Communication Inbox**: A shared inbox keeps email, phone, and text conversations organized around contacts.
