Abstract
Various embodiments of devices, systems, and methods for anonymous tenant-to-tenant communications provide for anonymously sending and receiving messages between tenants or residents of a dwelling such as an apartment complex or other residence. A communications engine may operate on a server and act as a message relay device and data storage source, to provide anonymous messaging between tenants. Identity information is not shared as part of message transmissions between the tenants, and a tenant is not required to have the contact information of their neighbors to communicate when utilizing embodiments of the present disclosure. In one example, mobile computing devices are provided with a graphical user interface with a display of a plurality of adjacent apartment units for a user to select and a graphical user interface with a display of a plurality of fixed messages for transmission to one or more tenants associated with a selected adjacent apartment unit.
