Adding a new applicant
First, check to see if they are already listed under prospective tenants.
If so, then you may need to click [Invite to Apply] for them if they are still under the "Inquiries" column. However, if they are not already listed as a prospect, then follow these steps:
Step 1: Select the Prospective Tenants tab on the left side panel.
Step 2: Click either "Add Applicant" under the "Applicants" section.
Step 3: Fill out user's information on the pop up window.
Adding a co-applicant or co-signer
Hemlane allows you to quickly add additional co-signers or co-applicants to an existing application. After the first tenant applies, you can add a second applicant (an additional resident) or a co-signer (someone financially responsible), via the following steps:
Step 1: Select the Prospective Tenants tab on the left side panel.
Step 2: Click the [More Actions] button and choose "Invite to Apply".
Note: You can only add another applicant or a co-signer to someone who has been invited to apply. If the tenant listed is an inquiry (came through our marketing channel but has not started the application process), then you will want to first invite that person to apply. Then, you can invite the second applicant and/or co-signer.
Step 3: Click [Add Applicant] within the pop-up menu.
Step 4: Fill out the co-applicants name, email and phone number and then click [Next].
Combining existing applicants and co-signers
Hemlane makes it easy to combine applications. After the first tenant applies, you can combine a second applicant (an additional resident) or a co-signer (someone financially responsible), via the following steps:
Step 1: Select the Prospective Tenants tab on the left side panel.
Step 2: Click the [More Actions] button and choose "Combine with another applicant".
Step 3: Select which applicant you wish to move, click [Next], and confirm where they will go.
FAQ: What does a co-signer need to complete within the application?
An applicant should fill out all sections of the application. A co-signer only needs to fill out the following portions of the application:
- Employment
- Bank Information (assets)
- Pay stubs (uploaded)
- Bank statements (uploaded)
We also recommend that you [Request Screening] on both applicants and co-signers.
