Screening is still your decision. The software organises what applicants send you. There is no AI sentiment analysis, no screening fee, and no automated accept.
A checklist you can run
- Publish the listing or send a private application link.
- Review the documents applicants upload (ID, income evidence you asked for, previous landlord contact).
- Record references you collect yourself.
- Note the viewing: on time, questions about the house, not about skipping paperwork.
- Accept or refuse. Accepting prepares lease and RTB drafts. Stay compliant with RTB rules.
Keep a screening checklist you run yourself. Optional labelled suggestions in the app are notes you can ignore.
Fair decisions
You cannot refuse someone because of race, religion, disability, family status, Traveller community membership, or HAP. You can refuse on income, references, or an incomplete application — and you should keep a note of why. Confirm Equal Status, RTB, and GDPR rules at rtb.ie.
After you accept
Invite them to the free tenant portal. Rent goes to your IBAN. RTB drafts sit next to the tenancy.
