You can now cover the tenant screening fee yourself instead of passing it on to applicants.
What's new
Previously, applicants paid the screening fee when submitting a rental application. Now you can choose to have your RentRedi account charged instead.
How it works
- Using the search bar, go to Auto Tenant Screening.
- In the Screening Rule section, you'll see a new Covered By column.
- When adding or updating a screening rule, choose who covers the fee: Landlord or Applicant.
By default, your existing rules are set to Applicant, matching how your account is currently configured. Toggle a rule to Landlord to have RentRedi charge your account instead.
What changes for applicants
When a rule is set to Landlord, applicants won't be presented with a payment option during the rental application. They'll submit their application, and the screening fee will be charged to your account automatically.
