Rent Manager Orion Connect: what to do while you wait for details

Rent Manager announced Orion Connect at its user conference on October 20, 2026. It has documented a Claude connector, licensed separately through Rent Manager sales, but hasn't published a price. If you want to ask an AI about your Rent Manager data and you're not sure where you stand, here is what I'd do this week. Last checked: October 29, 2026.

What Rent Manager has said

At RMUC.26 on October 20, 2026, Rent Manager announced Orion Connect, an MCP connection that lets customers connect authorized Rent Manager data to Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT and Gemini (source: LinkedIn post by Jeremy Moore of LCS, the company behind Rent Manager). Rent Manager's pricing page, last updated October 21, 2026, lists "MCP Connector" in the Premium bundle. The page shows no price for any bundle. Separately, Rent Manager documents a Claude connector at rentmanager.com/claude. It is licensed separately through Rent Manager sales, and no price is published.

If you're on a different bundle

The pricing page lists MCP Connector under Premium. It doesn't say what applies if you're on another bundle, so I won't guess. Ask Rent Manager sales what the Claude connector license costs for your account.

What I'd do this week

1. Ask Rent Manager sales. What does the Claude connector license cost for my account? Which bundle or add-on does it need?
2. Find out whether your database has API access. Your bundle name doesn't tell you. The API access guide shows how to check in a few minutes, and API access matters for any outside tool.
3. Write down the questions you'd ask an AI about your portfolio. Who is behind on rent, which leases end soon, how a property's NOI is moving. A good list is useful whichever tool you end up with. Start with first questions to ask, delinquency and lease expirations.
4. Look at the AI features already listed for your bundle. Rent Manager's pricing page lists AI-powered features under Basic, Plus and Premium, and its Orion AI overview describes them. Our Rent Manager AI page summarizes what's published.
5. If you want to ask Claude or ChatGPT about live Rent Manager data today, that's what AskRentAI does. I run it. It's independent of Rent Manager, live today and self-serve, with no sales call needed, and it costs $10 per user per month. It needs a Rent Manager database with API access. Setup guides: Claude and ChatGPT.

What I'll do
