Listings
Your rental portfolio, creation flow, readiness score, views, renter interest, and editing tools.
Leads
A blind, Fair Housing-aware queue of renter fit signals awaiting shortlist or pass decisions.
Boosts
Landlord-paid reach, campaign planning, listing health, and Premium reporting.
Profile
Your account, settings, saved replies, team, integrations, verification, support, and deletion controls.
Understand Starter and Premium
Starter landlords can create and manage a limited active portfolio and preview selected planning tools. Premium unlocks unlimited listing growth, paid reach workflows, reports, team and organization controls, provider requests, and advanced landlord insights. Renters remain free to browse, match, message, tour, and share interest.
Read the feature label and price shown in the live purchase sheet. Store availability and billing options can vary by account and App Store configuration.
If something looks different
The landlord tabs do not appear
Open Profile → Settings → Account and confirm the selected mode is Landlord. If the switch just completed, close and reopen the app.
A control opens an upgrade screen
The task is Premium-gated. The gate describes what unlocks; dismiss it to continue using Starter features.
Changes have not synced
Keep the app open with a connection. If “Some changes haven’t synced” appears, the app will retry background changes; the banner can be dismissed without deleting the pending work.
