ApplyGate — Rental Applications & Tenant Screening | RentAdminly

ApplyGate combines rental applications and tenant screening into one workflow. Generate a shareable application link, collect applicant details through a 5-step form, then send them to TransUnion SmartMove for background and credit screening. Approve or deny from your dashboard — applicants never need a RentAdminly account.

From application to approved tenant — one streamlined workflow.

Key Features

5-Step Application Wizard: Applicants complete personal info, current residence, employment, references, and disclosures — from any device, no login needed.
SmartMove Screening: Send applicants to TransUnion SmartMove for credit, criminal, and eviction checks. The tenant pays SmartMove directly — no extra cost to you.
Shareable Application Link: Each application generates a unique token link. Share via email, text, or listing — applicants don't need a RentAdminly account.
Screening Workflow Tracker: Track the full screening lifecycle — invited, application sent, report received, approved, or denied — all from one dashboard.
Approve & Onboard: Approve an applicant and convert them to a tenant. Create a lease and invite them to MyUnit in one flow.
Pre-Written Email Templates: Copy a pre-formatted email inviting the applicant to complete their SmartMove screening — saves you time and looks professional.

How It Works

Step 1: Create an application link — Enter the property and unit — ApplyGate generates a unique shareable link for the applicant.
Step 2: Applicant fills it out — The prospect completes a 5-step wizard with personal, residence, employment, and reference details.
Step 3: Send to SmartMove — Send the applicant a pre-written email directing them to TransUnion SmartMove for credit and background screening. They pay the screening fee directly.
Step 4: Review & decide — Once the SmartMove report comes in, mark it as received, review the results, and approve or deny. Approved applicants can be invited to MyUnit.
