Resident Onboarding gives residents a customized, transparent lease signing and move-in process in an unskippable, mobile-first workflow. Residents see key policies and requirements clearly outlined, make choices about their individual resident benefits, and sign their lease in minutes.

Setup is free; a $500 deposit is required and is applied to the first month's services.
