Offering to Cover the Rental Application Fee

Great news! We offer a convenient option for landlords to cover the rental application fee.

Our application fee is non-refundable and charged to the applicant at the time of submission. As a landlord, you have the opportunity to reimburse your approved applicant's fee in a couple of ways. By offering this reimbursement option, you can attract potential tenants and provide them with a more seamless and positive rental experience.

One option is to apply the fee towards their first month's rent, effectively covering the cost. To ensure your tenants are aware of this fantastic offer, we recommend mentioning it in the description section of your property listing. This information will be prominently displayed on your listing website, property brochure, and syndicated listings on other platforms.

You can also initiate the payment for the screening report, by simply navigating to the "Screen a Tenant" section within your Leads or Applicants Tab on your dashboard. From there, select "Request a Report (Screening Report Only)," enter the prospective renter's information, and towards the end, click on the option stating, "I will pay the fee."
