Where onboarding tools fit
Tenant onboarding covers the steps between agreeing a let and move-in: referencing, right to rent, tenancy agreements, holding deposits, move-in monies and deposit registration. Most agencies run a dedicated onboarding tool alongside their CRM, so integration with Reapit, Alto or Jupix matters as much as the tool itself.
Inclusion is editorial and is not affected by paid Featured Placement.
Questions to ask vendors
Ask how referencing outcomes and documents flow back into your CRM, which deposit schemes are supported, how right to rent checks are evidenced, and whether tenants can reuse a verified profile across applications.
