Core is $7/mo and Unlimited is $29/mo — annual billing saves about 30%. > — https://www.rentastic.io/pricing · Line under the two plan cards, checked 27 October 2026 ### Finding a tenant **Online applications** · Yes — A digital application link can be sent to an applicant and the replies collected in one place, with the finished application kept on the applicant's profile; the price to the applicant is never published. > Online applications — send a digital application link and collect everything in one place > — https://www.rentastic.io/feature/properties · What tenant screening includes, fourth bullet, checked 27 October 2026 **Tenant screening** · Yes — Screening covers criminal and eviction history, identity, a full credit report and income, and the landlord decides at request time whether the applicant pays; the reporting agency behind it is never named and no price is published. > Background checks — criminal history, eviction records, and identity verification; Credit reports — a full credit profile including score, payment history, and outstanding debt > — https://www.rentastic.io/feature/properties · What tenant screening includes, first two bullets, checked 27 October 2026 **Income verification** · Yes — An applicant's income can be confirmed against the landlord's own requirement as part of the screening pack; the vendor publishes no price for it and no method, only that it happens before a decision. > Income verification — confirm applicants meet your income requirements before moving forward > — https://www.rentastic.io/feature/properties · What tenant screening includes, third bullet, checked 27 October 2026 ### Leases and rent **Leases signed online** · Yes — A lease can be sent for signature from inside the product, signed on any device, and the signed file is filed against the tenant and the property; a landlord may upload an existing lease instead of using the built-in template. > Once you've found the right tenant, send your lease for e-signature directly from Rentastic. Tenants sign from any device — no printing, no scanning, no back-and-forth. > — https://www.rentastic.io/feature/properties · Legally binding e-signatures section, checked 27 October 2026 **Rent collected online** · No — Rent is not collected here. The bank link is read-only by design, so rent has to be paid somewhere else and only shows up afterwards as an incoming transaction matched to a tenant and property. > Read-only access — Rentastic can never move money > — https://www.rentastic.io/feature/bank-accounts · Bank-level security through Plaid, bullet list, checked 27 October 2026 ### The books **Income and expenses by property** · Yes — This is the core of the product: income and expenses are kept per property in IRS-aligned categories, and a profit-and-loss report can be previewed and then handed over as a PDF or a spreadsheet file. > Generate a P&L for a single property or roll up your entire portfolio into one report.
