Zego
Payments, utility billing, and resident engagement for property managers.
About Zego
Zego (formerly PayLease) is property management software focused on payments and utilities for management companies and community associations. Zego Pay automates rent and HOA dues collection with flexible payment options, check scanning, payouts, and credit reporting. Zego Utility handles utility billing and expense recovery, including RUBS and submeter methodologies, plus vacant unit cost analysis. A resident engagement app, Zego Mobile Doorman, adds self-service tasks, work orders, and community communications. The company states its platform is used by more than 7,000 management companies across multifamily, single-family, HOA, student, and other residential portfolios.
