Take rental applications online, in one structured pipeline

Stop collecting PDFs over email. Applicants apply online from your listing, their information lands in a structured pipeline, and you compare them side by side instead of digging through an inbox. Screening reports are a separate step and are not available through Seayora yet — no consumer reporting agency is connected, so nothing is ordered and nothing is charged

The application pipeline

A public listing page that accepts applications directly
Structured applications — no re-keying from PDFs or email
One pipeline showing every applicant and their current stage
Screening from the applicant record, once a consumer reporting agency is connected — none is today
Once screening is available, the applicant pays that fee — not you
Approve an applicant and generate their lease from the same record
Adverse-action support when you decline an applicant

How an application becomes a lease

Approving an applicant carries their details into a digital lease, which is sent for legally binding eSignature and stored automatically. The executed lease then drives rent collection, autopay, the settled-payment history a resident can opt to have recorded, and the accounting ledger. One record from first inquiry to year-end books.

Fair housing by default

Applications are structured and consistent, which is exactly what fair housing compliance requires: every applicant answers the same questions and is evaluated against the same criteria. Screening results are handled under the FCRA, including the adverse-action notices required when you decline.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays for the application and screening?

No consumer reporting agency is connected to Seayora at the moment, so no screening report can be ordered through the platform and no screening fee is charged — the application says so rather than taking a payment. Once one is connected, the applicant pays the screening fee directly to Seayora when they apply, so screening is free for the landlord.

Can I see all applicants for a unit in one place?

Yes. Every applicant for a listing appears in a single pipeline with their stage, so you can compare candidates instead of digging through an inbox.

What do I have to do if I decline an applicant?

When a decision is based in whole or in part on a consumer report, the FCRA requires an adverse-action notice. Seayora supports that flow so you can decline compliantly.
