Apartments.com
Apartments.com lets you quickly list a property on a website with more than 26 million visitors each month. The site boasts that it has helped in the signing of more than 40 million leases nationwide. (Also, don’t be fooled by the name—the rental listing site also lists condos, townhomes, duplexes, and even standalone houses.)
Listings on Apartments.com automatically extend beyond just that platform, as they are also listed on ForRent.com, ApartmentFinder, ApartmentHomeLiving.com, and Apartamentos.com. Opting for a premium listing offers additional benefits such as higher search placements, larger ads, and the ability to upload up to six videos. This premium listing will also be displayed on Realtor.com and Doorsteps.
Apartments.com provides valuable assistance in screening potential tenants by offering comprehensive credit reports and background checks. TransUnion supplies criminal and eviction reports about applicants, with the cost borne by the applicants themselves. Importantly, these reports do not have a negative impact on the credit scores of tenants.
The platform facilitates online property tours, online applications, customized leases with electronic signatures, and online rent payments from tenants. It also offers tools to receive, manage, and share updates on maintenance requests, ensuring a streamlined process.
Tracking expenses per property, assigning them to relevant tax categories, and attaching receipts is made simple through the Apartments.com website. These organized files can be easily exported and shared with accountants or tax preparers, enhancing efficiency in financial management.
