For owners who rent their own homes

Rent your home directly.
No broker fees. No application fees.

RentSquire does the busywork a leasing agent charges 10% for: a listing page, showings booked in one tap with text reminders, free pre-screening and secure document collection. You meet the people and you decide.

How it works

1

Your listing page

Photos, description, map and your terms on one clean page. Post the link anywhere you advertise: rental sites, social groups, a yard sign.

2

Showings that book themselves

Renters pick a time from your windows: no account, no app. They get a confirmation and a reminder text; you get the details and a calendar invite.

3

Free pre-screening

Applicants answer the questions that matter (income, move-in date, pets, rental history), measured against rules you write once and apply to everyone.

4

Documents from finalists only

Invite the best few to upload their own credit report, pay stubs and ID. Files are encrypted and deleted 30 days after you decide.

5

Checks you can do yourself

A checklist for court records and a call to the previous landlord, right next to each applicant, so nothing is skipped.

6

A summary to decide on

One tap turns your shortlist into a plain summary you can read, compare or send to a co-owner.

Why renters prefer it

Typical rental platforms charge every applicant $40–60 just to apply, and families often pay that several times before they find a home. Good tenants walk away from listings that charge. With RentSquire, applying is free at every step, so more of the right people apply.

What a renter sees

  • A fast page with every photo and the full terms
  • Booking a showing in under a minute, from a phone
  • A reminder text, and a link to reschedule
  • No fee to apply, ever

Pricing

Early access

Free

We are opening RentSquire to a small group of owners. Your listing, showing booking, pre-screening and document collection are free while we learn what owners need most.

Later

One flat price per listing

No subscription and no percentage of rent. You pay once when you list, and the listing stays up until the home is rented.

Questions

Do you run credit checks?

Applicants download their own credit report for free from the official annual credit report site and upload it. That keeps applying free. If you want an official background report on your final applicant, you can still order one.

Is it legal to screen tenants myself?

Yes, owners screen their own tenants every day. Write your rules down, apply them the same way to everyone, and never decide based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or family status. RentSquire keeps your rules on the listing and the same questions for every applicant.

Where are applicants' documents kept?

Encrypted, visible only to you, and deleted automatically 30 days after you approve or decline the applicant.

Does RentSquire handle rent or deposits?

No. The lease and all money go directly between you and your tenant.
