Frequently asked questions
How much does tenant screening cost?›
Tenants pay $25 for Rooms/Flex (room and house-share) applications and $35 for standard rental applications. Landlords do not pay for screening; applicants cover the fee. There are no hidden or junk fees on top.
What is included in the screening?›
RentLease screening typically includes identity verification, credit check, and income verification. Applicants complete one flow and you receive a verified application with the results so you can compare candidates fairly.
Who pays for the screening — landlord or tenant?›
The tenant (applicant) pays the screening fee when they submit their application. This is standard practice and keeps costs predictable for small landlords who don't want to pay per applicant.
Is screening available for room rentals and house shares?›
Yes. Rooms and house-share listings use a lower $25 screening fee. Entire-place rentals use the $35 fee. Both flows are built into the same apply link you share from your dashboard.
How do I get applicants to use RentLease screening?›
Share your apply link from the Landlord Dashboard. It lists your properties so applicants can choose which one they're applying for. They pay the screening fee and complete the application in one place; you see verified results only.
