A way to customize the rental application

Everyone has a different idea of a good tenant, adding the ability to edit applications for your tenant to see their answers will give a landlord better insight into who the best tenant would be. Also by adding this Application builder it would be nice to be able to have the following:

  • see their credit eviction and background check if required on their application easy as linking to it.
  • ability to print the entire packet for record keeping or reviewing
  • ability to select what is required I.E. application, credit history
  • ability to customize and add tenant questions
  • ability to mark questions or application blocks as required or not
  • ability to request required documents such as photo of pet, ESA letters ect…
  • ability to customize application with a logo
  • ability to write in instructions for the application
  • ability to change the Header on application
  • ability to add a select property drop down in case if you have multiple
  • ability to customize change font and color scheme.

I pulled all the things I really like from the free software I use for this from Innago.com they have done a good job with this so far but I am sure you guys can blow them out of the water! keep up the awesome work!

Agreed, I am coming from RentRedi and am used to being able to customize the application and ask specific questions. I’d like to know details around # of people and names (including minors), whether they smoke, have pets, how many pets and what are their names, etc. Some of this helps me weed out applications quickly that don’t meet my criteria and the rest are helpful when writing a lease so that I have all names listed on the lease. I’ve also found it helpful to have details like what car they drive with license plate number so that I can make sure tenants are parking in the correct designated spaces. I’d also like an easy way to reference back to the application within the renter’s profile.

I think good example is how Avail allows to customize lease statements and modifications to those. I really like Stessa, but this option alone keeps me there.

Great idea. I use Avail for rental applications because of the ability to customize applications. But would love to have this feature in Stessa so I don’t have to pay for two different websites.

@victor any update on this feature being added to the roadmap?
