Apply for a place
Send a quick pre-screen, then complete the full application if the landlord asks for it.
Applying happens in two short steps, so you don't have to hand over everything before the landlord's even interested.
Step 1: pre-screen
On the listing, click Pre-screen for this unit.
Fill in the form. Fields with a star are required: First name, Last name, Your email, Current address, Employment status, Desired move-in date, Monthly gross income (a range), Number of occupants and Pets?. If you have pets, describe them. You can also add a Message to landlord if you like.
Click Submit. You'll see "Application submitted", and the landlord's told.
Step 2: the full application
If the landlord wants to go further, we'll email you a secure link. The form has sections for Employment, Income documents, References, Rental history, Co-applicants (if you're applying with others) and Consent, followed by Submit full application. If it says "Not ready yet", the landlord hasn't asked for it yet, so check back soon.
At the top you'll see what comes with the home again, so you can double-check before you submit.
Agreeing to background or credit checks is a tick box on the full application. Read it before you tick.
Only give your details through the secure link we emailed you. If anyone asks for them some other way, don't send them.
What happens next
The landlord decides, and you'll hear by email. If you have an account, you can follow along in Your applications.
You can apply as a guest, but an account lets you reuse your details next time. See Create a renter account.
