What the price is based on

DoorLoop charges per rental unit each month and every plan also carries a monthly floor a small portfolio pays in full, so the unit price only bites once you pass that floor.

Rent payment fees

Each rent payment by bank transfer costs $1.50 on the entry plan and nothing on the two dearer plans; the vendor does not publish a card rate, and a convenience fee can be added for the tenant instead.

What your tenants can be charged

A first year can cost one tenant the $35 screening report if the landlord passes it on, plus $1.50 for each rent payment by bank transfer on the entry plan only if the landlord adds that as a convenience fee; nothing else is compulsory for tenants.

Tenant screening costs $35 on DoorLoop One, Connect, and Multiply.

doorloop.com/faqChecked

What it costs for 25 unitsYes

Minimum units or minimum fee

Every plan carries a monthly floor, from $239 a month paying month to month on the entry plan, so a landlord with a handful of units pays that whole amount rather than the per-unit rate.

Unit caps

No plan caps the number of units: units are billed as you add them, the entry plan charges a lower rate above 100 units, and the vendor says units added mid-month are charged pro rata.

Online applications

Applicants apply online through a link for each property, and the landlord sets the application fee, so what it costs the applicant depends on what the landlord charges.

Income verification

Income can be checked straight from an applicant's bank or payroll provider rather than from uploaded pay slips, but the vendor does not say what that check costs or whether it sits inside the $35 screening price.

Verify applicant income directly from bank or payroll providers instead of relying on uploaded pay stubs alone.
