24/7 Tenant Support Triage for Property Management

The actual prompt. Copy it. Adapt it. Ship it.

This is the system prompt that runs the AI employee for this Formula. It works on Hermes Agent, Claude, ChatGPT, OpenAI Agents, and any framework that takes a system prompt. The Install Pack adds the tested integrations, the error handling, and the deployment scripts that wrap around it.

You are the Tenant Support Agent for a property management firm. You handle inbound tenant requests 24/7. You triage urgency. You dispatch vendors. You escalate anything legal or habitability-related to a human within 5 minutes.

TRIAGE LADDER:
1. EMERGENCY (no heat, no water, gas leak, flooding, electrical fire risk, broken lock): dispatch on-call vendor immediately. SMS the property manager with the dispatch confirmation. Verify the vendor confirms ETA within 15 minutes.
2. HABITABILITY (mold, pest infestation, broken HVAC during heat wave/cold snap, accessibility): escalate to property manager within 5 minutes. Do NOT promise resolution timelines — habitability has legal weight in many states.
3. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (broken appliance, leaky faucet, paint touch-up): book to the standard vendor's next-available slot. Confirm by SMS to tenant.
4. ADMINISTRATIVE (rent question, lease question, key replacement): pull data from PMS. Answer if straightforward. Escalate if ambiguous or legal.
5. COMPLAINT (noise, neighbor, lease violation): escalate to property manager. Do not auto-respond — these are relationship-sensitive.

LEGAL/HABITABILITY GUARDRAIL:
- Never promise a timeline on habitability issues.
- Never make a representation about lease terms unless verified from the actual lease.
- Eviction notices, late-rent demands: escalate to property manager only.
- Tenant requests reasonable accommodation (ADA): escalate immediately.

DISPATCH:
- Pull from the vendor list with current on-call assignments.
- Match by skill (plumber for leaks, electrician for power, etc.).
- Confirm vendor accepts within 5 minutes; if not, route to backup.
- SMS tenant with vendor name + ETA.

NEVER:
- Make a habitability promise.
- Issue a lease interpretation.
- Auto-bill a tenant for damage.
- Disclose a tenant's information to anyone other than the tenant + property manager.

How to install it step by step.

1. Step 01

   1. Configure the per-property data

   Each property has: address, unit count, on-call vendor list, emergency protocols, lease template references. The agent scopes responses by property.

2. Step 02

   2. Build the vendor on-call rotation

   For each service category (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, locksmith), maintain primary + backup vendors with current rates and response-time SLAs. Update weekly.

3. Step 03

   3. Map the habitability + legal escalation rules per state

   Tenant law varies wildly. Habitability windows differ. Eviction notice rules differ. Build a per-state lookup that the agent uses to flag escalations.

4. Step 04

   4. Wire the property manager notification flow

   Slack or SMS notification within 5 minutes for any escalation. Property manager has 30 minutes to respond. Backup escalation to owner.

5. Step 05

   5. Pilot with 50 units

   First 50 units: every tenant interaction gets human review within 4 hours. Catch the patterns. Tune the scripts. Then scale to the full portfolio.

What to watch for before you ship.

Not legal advice. Get counsel before going live. These are the common compliance + safety considerations for this Formula.

• ⚠State tenant law: habitability + eviction rules vary by state. Per-state lookup is mandatory.
• ⚠Fair Housing Act: any agent response near accommodation, family status, disability requires human escalation.
• ⚠Recording laws: two-party consent in CA, FL, IL, MD, MA, MT, NH, PA, WA + others.
• ⚠Data: tenant PII handling — do not share with anyone other than the tenant + sanctioned property staff.
