Good to Lease simplifies the online leasing process for you. Just locate the listing you're interested in and click "Apply Now" to complete a short application form. Once submitted, we forward your information to the landlord, who may conduct a background check to assess your eligibility. Upon approval, you'll be notified via email by Good to Lease. From there, navigate to the "My Applications" section on your dashboard, locate the approved application, and click "Review and Sign" to finalize your agreement.
The responsibility for covering the cost of the tenant screening report rests with the landlord. Upon receiving your application, the landlord may opt to conduct the tenant screening at their own expense or delegate the task to the applicant, with the exception of New York state. If the landlord chooses to transfer this responsibility to the applicant, the applicant will receive an email containing a link guiding them through the process of obtaining the tenant screening report and making the necessary payment. Once the report is obtained, the applicant can easily return to their Good to Lease dashboard, locate the ongoing application, and securely upload the report.
Once you've completed signing your agreement, you'll progress to Payments, where you'll find a detailed invoice outlining your move-in expenses. This invoice itemizes your first month's rent (as specified in your lease), security deposit, Good to Lease fees, transaction processing fee (administered by Stripe or PayPal), and any other pertinent charges imposed by the property owner. Prior to finalizing your lease agreement, you'll have the opportunity to review the invoice preview, ensuring accuracy and transparency in your payments. At Good to Lease, our aim is to facilitate a straightforward and transparent leasing experience.
Differing from traditional real estate brokers, who typically charge one month’s rent, Good to Lease adopts a fairer approach, charging both landlords and tenants a modest 4% of the total transaction amount each (maximum total fee is 8% and can be split between the landlord and tenant, or paid in full by either party). In addition to these Good to Lease fees, tenants should anticipate a nominal transaction fee of 2.9% + $0.30 imposed by Stripe or PayPal, alongside other relevant fees determined by the property owner as part of the move-in costs. For instance, if your monthly lease payments amount to $3,000, under a traditional brokerage arrangement, you might expect to pay approximately $3,000 as your agent fee. However, with Good to Lease's 4% charge, your agent fee would total only $207.30, resulting in substantial savings of $2,792.70.
To foster a fair marketplace environment on the Good to Lease platform, we typically withhold the landlord's payout until 7 days after the move-in date. This measure is implemented to guarantee that the lessee has gained access to the premises and that the move-in process unfolds seamlessly. Upon release, landlords can anticipate the payout appearing in their bank account within 1-2 business days. The payouts maybe delayed if the landlords have not connected their bank accounts. The payout comprises the first month's rent, alongside other pertinent fees, subtracting the Good to Lease fee of 8%.
