Benefits for Landlords

Confidently find renters you trust with ApplyConnect®’s no cost tenant screening, all while enjoying these great benefits.

Get Easy, No Cost Access to Tenant Screening

Since ApplyConnect® is a consumer-initiated report, the renter is involved with offering you access to view their credit report and background check. You don’t have any setup costs, yearly memberships, paperwork or liability to worry about when reviewing whether they fit your rental criteria. Within seconds of the renter purchasing their report it becomes available on your account for the next 30 days.

Free Online Rental Application and Marketing Tools

  • Online Rental Application: ApplyConnect®’s easy online format allows your applicants to submit all of the important information you need to know when filling a vacant rental property. Applications can be completed within minutes, have FCRA and legal disclosures relevant to your state, and automatically move the applicant to the tenant screening process at no additional cost.
  • Online Rent Payments: Start accepting your tenant's rent through ApplyConnect®'s online rent payment tool - completely free for landlords and real estate agents.
  • Customizable Advertising Property Links: Quickly create a custom URL property link to display next to your listings, which automatically sends the applicant to ApplyConnect®. This is a great tool for advertising vacancies on your website, social media accounts or even sending directly through email.
  • SMS Text Messaging: Get immediately notified via text message seconds after the background screening report and online rental application are ready to view.
  • Free Resources: Other free resources include state notices, to give you additional protections legally, and our blog, a helpful source on new legislation, tenant screening tips, and product updates.
