Invite someone to apply to your rental
Send an invitation, check the result and follow the applicant's progress.
On this page
Choose the rental and confirm each applicant's contact details. Use a separate invitation for each person.
Step 1: Open the invitation
Go to Applicants and choose Invite to apply. You can also choose Invite to apply from Screen a tenant.
Step 2: Check the rental and recipient
Select the rental and enter the applicant's details. Choose an eligible email or text option and review any message preview.
Step 3: Review screening and fees
Check the selected screening package, displayed price and Who will pay? before sending. Choose landlord payment only when offered.
Step 4: Send and check the result
Send once, then read the recorded outcome. The Applicants list shows the current Application status and available Next step. Open the applicant record to follow the application status and Renter journey.
Application and screening options
Read what the selected package includes. Application answers, uploaded documents and screening results are separate. A paid subscription does not necessarily waive the displayed fee.
Share your public listing
Open the rental in Properties and use its public listing link. Check the address, unit and available application action before sharing. A signed-in landlord page is not a public listing.
Copy the public link into your own message, or use Marketing > Email or text listing for an existing prospect. Review the recipient and message before sending.
After the invitation
The applicant uses their own invitation and account to complete the requested information and screening steps. Use each person's own name and contact details.
A sent invitation does not prove it was opened or an application was submitted. Check each applicant's saved status before deciding what to do next.
If the invitation does not arrive
Confirm the email or phone and ask the applicant to check spam. Read the saved result before using an offered resend or recovery action. If a link no longer works, use the available account or invitation recovery option.
Check the result
- The invitation is recorded for the correct rental and person. You can check application progress separately.
FAQs
Can I invite someone who found the rental elsewhere?
Start an invitation in Applicants and enter their correct details for the intended rental.
Can I invite several people?
Give each applicant a separate invitation and review each person's progress. A household record does not complete everyone's application.
Does an invitation finish the pre-screener or screening?
Check those records separately. Do not treat an invitation as a completed questionnaire or screening report.
What if I do not have the person's contact details?
Share the public listing link and check which application action is available on that page.
Does sending an invitation make the applicant a tenant?
No. Review the submitted application and available screening information, then use the separate applicant decision and lease steps.
