No platform fee. No per-unit charge. No gated features. Sign up, list your vacancies, and lease — without paying for access.
Owners and managers use the full RentSmart leasing workflow at no cost. List, show, screen, and receive validated tenant profiles — without a subscription, a per-unit fee, or a credit card to get started.
RentSmart aligns cost differently. Here's exactly what the three parties in a leasing decision pay — and what they get.
List vacancies, coordinate showings, set screening criteria, and receive fully validated tenant profiles — at no cost. No credit card required to get started.
Prospective tenants pay a one-time fee to build their validated RentSmart profile. That profile can then be submitted to any participating listing — no repeat fees per property.
Profile fees fund the validation work inside each tenant profile and support the platform. The free model for owners and managers isn't a promotion — it's the intended structure.
The platform is funded by tenant profile fees — which means the free access for owners and managers is designed to stay that way permanently, not expire after a trial period.
A direct look at what you get — and what you don't pay for.
