The online rental application is $55 and includes the screening report. This is a non-refundable fee.

The screening report includes a credit check, a criminal background check, and an eviction history report. You can view more information regarding what's included in the screening report here.

You can also check out this guide on how to read a screening report, which will help you understand all the line items within the report.

With the premium plan, your applicants will have a lower fee of $45 and you will have access to Income Insights, our tenant income verification tool. But you must upgrade to the Premium Plan. Learn how to do that here.

**Please note that the application fee is charged when the renter submits an application, not when the screening report is requested. If no screening report is requested, the application fee still applies.**
