Lease Velocity

Website reader

LeaseVelocityStudio, operated by Lease Velocity LLC


When it reads

  • When a person marketing an apartment community in Lease Velocity enters that community's website, or their management company's.
  • On a schedule, only for websites already entered: Mondays and Thursdays for floor-plan availability, and every 28 days to refresh the community's facts.
  • Never a resident log-in, rental application or payment page.

What it keeps

  • What it reads is kept in that community's own Lease Velocity account and used only to draft that community's marketing.
  • Lease Velocity does not use it to train AI models, and instructs its model providers not to (Privacy Policy).

robots.txt

  • After the front page, every page request waits at least the site's Crawl-delay, up to 10 s, and pages are read one at a time.
  • Disallow is honoured on every read. A page the file disallows is never requested, including the one a person enters; when that page is disallowed, nothing is read.
  • A group naming LeaseVelocityStudio is followed ahead of the wildcard group.
