Update to Rental Applications

As you may have heard, Cribspot recently closed their doors after 5 years of service. While they offered an innovative service, they, unfortunately, didn’t find a lasting fit in this competitive industry.

But the good news is, there are great solutions for managing your property online that won’t require you to sacrifice time or money. We’ll explain how we differ from Cribspot and how we can help you.

How is Avail different from Cribspot?

Cribspot offered a service that provided you a full property manager and access to online tools that help you market your property, such as a 3D tour of your property.

These tools were innovative and helped bring property management online, but this white glove service and innovative technology came at a cost too high for many landlords.

At Avail, we help you manage your property yourself so you don’t need a property manager (and the accompanying costs). Rather than doing everything by hand, we offer tools that streamline the process, which saves you time.

Next, we’ll discuss our features in detail.

What features do you offer?

You can start using our product at any stage in the rental process and find value. Our most loved feature? Online payments!

Find Tenants

List your property with us and we’ll syndicate your listing to top sites, such as Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, and more. Our listings produce an average of 18 tenant leads for our landlords.

Screen Tenants

Potential tenants complete our online rental application and authorize a credit, background, and eviction report. You’ll never need their SSN.

Sign a Lease

We offer lawyer-reviewed, state-specific rental agreements. You’ll customize it for your rental terms and rules, and then sign it online. Save your custom lease and re-use it for years to come.

Collect Rent

Add your bank account and start collecting rent. Tenants pay via credit or debit card, or with their bank account. They can even set up auto-payments. That way, you’ll always receive rent on time.

Manage Repairs

You’ll be email notified of any maintenance requests. You can communicate with your tenant about the repair from within your account and even send pictures.

How much does Avail cost?

Avail is free for landlords with one unit. From there, pricing is tiered by the number of units you own.

You can also upgrade to access valued features, like custom application questions.
