Zillow Rental Manager?

[Beau Pearson]

I normally use Transunion’s Smartmove. But I like how you get the app, background and payment collection through Zillow rental manager. Anyone have any feedback ?

I currently use it and like their payment collections but beware it usually takes 5 business days to receive the funds.  They are also only set up to accept 1 payment which helps protect you against partials but also means roommates need to figure something out for 1 payment.  I have always used their online applications in the past, they were simple to use and most tenants found me on Zillow anyway so they already had an account.  I also feel there is a sense of fairness with Zillow where the tenant owns their background check for 30 days so if not selected they can use it with another landlord and not be billed again.  The downside is their credit reporting is not very detailed, you get a credit score and it reports collections and has caught evictions before.  I think I am moving to rentprep for screening, it is a little more expensive for the applicants but I can't really see an extra 10/adult scaring someone off and if money is that tight anyway it may not be a good fit.
