How do I submit a rental application and pay an application fee?

In order to apply for a rental, the landlord needs to send the prospective renter a link to fill out an application for the listed rental. As an applicant, you may also visit the website hosted through the software and apply for a rental using the website's listing.

You are to follow the link and press the "Apply to this listing" button.

Fill in all required information and press the "Pay fee and submit" button. If you do not complete the application, it will remain in draft format. You will need to click on the "continue application" button to complete the application and apply for the rental.

 

If you are applying with another co-applicant, press "+ Add an occupant" and provide the required information. Your co-applicants will receive a link to submit a rental application. 

Put a checkmark to acknowledge that you have read and understood the disclaimer.

If an application fee is required, pay it using your credit/debit card. If your potential landlord has successfully set up Online Payments on their end, you can submit a payment by pressing the "Submit payment" button.

After confirming the transaction, your rental application will be successfully submitted.

In some cases, landlords only accept the application fee offline, meaning you may need to pay it outside the platform. In that scenario, you will see the application fee invoice created and the following banner in your account:

To clarify the preferred payment option, please contact the landlord of the property you’re applying for directly. Within our platform, you can do that via the integrated Messenger: How do I send a message?

After you submit the payment outside the system, the landlord will want to mark your application fee invoice as paid on their end.
