Rental Application Feature Overview

ShowMojo provides the foundation of a best-in-class rental application platform. The highlights include:

• You decide what matters to in your application: employment, other income, pets, vehicles, references, occupants — we’ve got it all.
• You decide what individual questions are mandatory, optional, or not needed.
• You decide what additional custom questions you want to ask.
• You receive an email both when an application is started and when it is completed. And you have one-click access to any showing details related to the application.
• Prospective renters get a streamlined application form. They can even return to it when life interrupts.
• Super-simple (and optional) Application Fees Collection.‍
• Even simpler (and optional) Applicant Screening.

Furthermore, ShowMojo's rental application form was built for mobile usage.

And, finally, ShowMojo's rental application works hand-in-glove with its Rental Application Criteria feature. Or, you can Continue to Host Rental Application Criteria with a Third Party.

Have a Look at the Settings

Once you have joined the beta, to have a look at the new options:

1. Go to the Rental Applications Settings page.
2. Locate the Use ShowMojo’s rental application feature option.
3. Click the Review Settings link next to that option. This will let you review and update the settings without yet enabling this feature for your prospects.

The application form settings let you control:

• What sections to include in the application: employment, other income, pets, vehicles, references, occupants, document upload -- we’ve got it all. 
• What individual questions are mandatory, optional, or not needed. Just click on the specific section.
• What additional custom questions you want to ask. Just click on the Personal Information or Other Details sections.

(If the rental application is associated with an existing lead or showing, ShowMojo will provide a link to that lead or showing.)

Right now the beta is only about taking applications. ShowMojo does not yet charge an application fee nor complete background checks.

Pricing

There's almost no additional cost for the rental applications feature. The only additional "fee" occurs when an applicant starts an application without linking to it from a ShowMojo link. In this case, a new lead is created as a reference point for the application.
