Next Steps After Finding a Tenant

You're one step closer to confirming your next booking! Here are 5 tips to help your tenant lead from initial inquiry to move-in.

Connect With Your Tenant Lead

Reply quickly to confirm availability, discuss monthly rental and lease terms, and answer any questions clearly. 

Screen Your Tenant

Start the tenant screening process directly from your dashboard. Your tenant will pay $44.99 to complete the screening, which includes a criminal background check, soft-pull credit report, and eviction history.

Set Up Your Lease

Use our Legal Documents and Leases Service, powered by Rocket Lawyer, to create a professional lease that includes key terms such as monthly rent, utility arrangements, and house rules.

You can also add a Damage Protection Plan for an extra layer of protection for your property and furnishings.

Set Up Online Payments

Allow tenants to pay securely online. With online payments, you can accept ACH or credit cards and set up recurring payment scheduling with automated reminders.

Confirm Your Booking

Update your calendar to block off the booked dates and avoid duplicate inquiries. Next, send a welcome email with check-in and parking instructions, a house manual, and prepare for move-in! Ensure your rental is clean and provide a starter kit with essentials like soap, detergent, paper towels, and trash bags.
