A landlord needs a rental management software that allows for a two-step application process with an initial free application review before charging for background checks, and also includes automated reference checks.

Most existing rental management software charges applicants for credit/background checks upfront, without allowing landlords to pre-screen applicants for basic qualifications, leading to unnecessary costs for ineligible applicants and wasted time for the landlord. Automated reference checks are also a missing or inconsistent feature.

App Concept

TenantScreen Pro

TenantScreen Pro is an intelligent rental management platform designed to streamline tenant screening. It empowers landlords to pre-qualify applicants with a free initial application before requesting paid background checks, saving time and money for both parties. The platform also automates reference checks, making the entire process efficient and fair.

Key Features

Two-stage application process (free initial application, paid background check)
Customizable application forms and pre-screening questions
Automated reference request and collection via email/SMS links
Integrated credit and background check services with applicant-paid options
Secure handling of security deposits to separate bank accounts

Target Users: Individual landlords and small property management companies managing 1-50 units who are seeking to optimize their tenant acquisition and screening processes.

Revenue Model: $29/month per landlord for unlimited applications and listings, with an optional $5/month per unit add-on for advanced features like automated rent collection and maintenance requests. Background check fees are passed directly to the applicant or can be marked up for additional revenue.
