GATHER THEIR INFORMATION
Once you invite them to apply, the renter starts the tenant application by selecting whether they are applying to the rental unit as a tenant or co-signing for someone else. Then they move to the first section of the rental application where they provide basic contact information including:
RESIDENCE HISTORY & Landlord references
During this part of the online application, the applicant provides their housing history, including past addresses and the contact information for previous landlords. There are options to elaborate on their current living situation and explain why they are interested in moving. Questions include:

PETS, SMOKING, & MORE
The applicant answers a few questions about their preferences including whether or not they have pets, plan to have vehicles at the property, or if they smoke.
The applicant also answers a few standard background information questions making you aware of any criminal history, evictions, and other pertinent real estate history such as foreclosures.
In this section of the lease application, the potential tenant also has the opportunity to make you aware of any special needs they may have during their tenancy.
ASK YOUR OWN QUESTIONS
If you have specific questions you’d like potential renters to answer as part of your screening process, you can add those to your application when you upgrade to our Premium subscription.
The applicant has the opportunity to upload a photo ID like a driver’s license, pay stubs or another proof of income, personal references, and any other documents you request.
The renter enters their credit card to pay the screening fee. This fee covers a credit report, background check, and eviction report.
The applicant then sets a password and is given the option to add a short bio and picture so that you can get to know them better prior to move-in.
At this point, the applicant has successfully created an account and can monitor the status of their online application and screening report, purchase renters insurance, and edit their application info.
The applicant approves a credit and background check and verifies their identity immediately after finishing the rental application, so you don’t have to wait days to get back the details of their screening report. It’s available the second you request it.
Only the renter pays the application screening to cover the credit check, criminal history, and eviction report.
