Rental applications can be intimidating to fill out, but they don't have to be. Follow the steps below and you'll be through them in no time.
Tip: You can save your progress when filling out the rental application. This way you can come back and complete it later.
Note that the rental application may look different for you based on what the property manager of the unit has set. You could have more information that needs to be filled out other than what we are showing here.
You would have either received an application link or clicked on it from a listing.The first step is to select which unit you are applying for. You should see a list of available units.
You'll now be prompted to enter a valid email address and marking that you have agreed to the terms and conditions to begin the process.
Check your email for a confirmation code and enter it into the fields below. (You will have 60 seconds to enter the code.) Click Go to the Application when done.
Enter your expected move-in date and use the "Apply as a tenant" button. Then choose I'm applying alone. If you're applying as a Co-signer, use the co-signer option. Also, if you have co-applicants, use the I have co-applicants option.
You will need to enter a valid Social Security Number (SSN) and possibly a driver's license. These are required if the application is requesting a background check later in the process.
(If you are a foreign citizen and don't have either of these, you'll need to contact the property manager of the unit you are applying for to see if you have any other options before continuing.)
(If you don't have a driver's license, you can also enter your state-issued ID card number.)
(Note that if you want to continue filling out the application at a later time, you can click the Save for Later button to save your progress and continue later. This will be available for every step after this. To learn how to continue a saved application, click here.)
The next few steps will ask you for information about whether or not you have Pets, any Vehicles, and any Dependents. There it will also ask you for an Emergency Contact which is required.
The next group of required information consists of your current Employment, Income information, and current Residential History. You also need to answer some short yes and no questions in the Additional Information section.
If the property manager asks for it, there will be files you might need to attach, such as a copy of your driver's license or any other files.
Review and Payment - If the application has a fee, you'll see this screen towards the end that requires you to enter a credit card to make payment. Please note that you should only do this one time after you click Make a Payment. Do not try to make a payment again otherwise, you can be charged again.
You have the option to pay with a credit card or debit card, or Google Pay or Apple Pay depending on the browser used.
You can also get a sharable copy of your screening report if one is requested. You need to click the option to "Generate a sharable link for my background check" and then enter your email address. A link will be sent to you once the report is ready.
Once you click Make a Payment, if the property manager requires a background check, you'll see a window that requires you to Confirm Your Identity. This will be a series of random questions associated with your identity.
Important: DO NOT make a second application fee payment if you already made one. Instead, contact the property manager for instructions on how to proceed. Otherwise, you may be charged again for the application fee.
Congratulations! You've finished filling out the rental application.
When you are ready to continue with your rental application, check your email first. You will see an email from rentalapplications@doorloop.com with the subject line: "Your Rental Application has been saved". Open the email.
Click the button in the email labeled: "Click to Complete Application". You'll be taken back to the rental application.
You need to enter the email address you used when filling out the rental application the first time as well as reentering a verification code. You will also be asked to accept the terms and conditions again. Once you do all this, you will be taken back to your rental application so you can continue where you left off.
You can now finish the rest of the rental application or save for later again to continue at a later time.
Tip: If you have co-applicants, such as a spouse or roommate, do not use the same link that was sent to you via email or the same email address to log in. Instead, ask the property manager for a new link for that person.
