rental application: cozy vs. zillow
Can someone share their experience accepting online rental applications with Cozy or Zillow? Or any other recommended place?
I am already using Cozy for maintaining my tenant, so I am leaning towards to use Cozy.
Here are few differences I found.
Cozy
- $39.99 for credit & background check (Seems little bit expensive to me. Looks like $30-35 is standard in the industry.)
- There is character limit with description for the listing.
- Renters need to create a Cozy account for submitting rental application. (I think this might not be very convenient for renters.)
Zillow
- $29 for credit & background check
(It seems that people can reuse this fee for applying other units at Zillow within 1 month.)
- No character limit with description for the listing.
