ClassLab Partners with NTT for Enhanced Utility Management

In an exciting development for the rental management landscape, ClassLab, a prominent player in utility support services, has announced its collaboration with NTT (Nihon Joho Create) as of July 22, 2026. This partnership integrates ClassLab's Utility Activation Service with NTT’s option, Utility Activation Option, within their rental management software, Rental Revolution. This integrated solution aims to automate and streamline utility processes for property managers, making the transitions between tenants more efficient and less burdensome.

Overview of the Integration

The Utility Activation Option provided by NTT leverages APIs from allied utility companies to automate critical utility processes. Traditionally, property managers must manually handle utility activations and deactivations upon tenant move-ins and move-outs. However, with this new integration, these tasks are automatically managed through the existing tenant registration processes in Rental Revolution. This means energy reactivations and terminations can be carried out seamlessly without requiring direct contact with utility companies, thereby significantly reducing administrative workload.

ClassLab was already collaborating with NTT through its Electronic Lease Application Service, launched in December 2025. This previous partnership allowed them to provide a consolidated service that handles all utility arrangements for new tenants, demonstrating their commitment to facilitating hassle-free living experiences for tenants and landlords alike.

Key Features of the New Partnership

1. Zero Operational Burden: Property managers no longer need to send requests for utility activation or termination. By simply registering tenant move-outs or move-ins on Rental Revolution, utilities are automatically managed without manual intervention.

2. Zero Energy Costs: ClassLab absorbs the utility costs associated with vacant properties, eliminating expenses for property managers and owners. With invoices no longer arriving, administrative tasks related to billing and settlements also disappear.

3. Seamless Data Integration: Tenant data from NTT’s electronic lease application is directly integrated, minimizing manual data entry and reducing the likelihood of errors. Consequently, managing electricity contracts becomes a streamlined affair.

4. Revenue Generation: This partnership opens up new avenues for revenue generation for property managers without requiring additional administrative input, thus enhancing profitability.

ClassLab's CEO, Daiki Fuyashiki, envisions that the combined forces of their technology and NTT’s extensive resources will fundamentally transform rental management operations by emphasizing efficiency, automation, and superior service delivery.

Understanding ClassLab's Utility Activation Service

For those unfamiliar with ClassLab's Utility Activation Service, it offers comprehensive management of utility enrollments and terminations during the vacancy period of apartments and properties. By handling the complexities of utility bills, contract changes, and documentation, ClassLab simplifies the lives of property managers and owners, who otherwise would have to juggle multiple service providers during tenant transitions. This service not only alleviates administrative burdens but also supports landlords by covering utility costs during vacancies.
