Lets me know when the draft is made and when it will hit the account.It incentivizes electronic payment for the tenant by making it easy and allowing it to be reported to a credit agency.It incentivizes electronic payment for the landlord by doing it for free.It throws my nice ad up on realtor.com and doorsteps and allows for online application.It listens to its users- go back through old threads and look at some of the gripes ("I can't tell who is paying the rent when it hits my account.") and you will see them actively addressing each issue.It does a lot more: credit check, rent analysis, express pay, simplified renters insurance.I give them my background checks as a small thank you.
