### "Amazing quality for Affordable Homeowners"

July 15, 2022

5.0

I LOVE the customer service. I don't worry about not having the answers or understanding things because I know customer service will patiently go over things over the phone, or on weekends, through email. Haven't found anything similar with this kind of ease of use or customer support.

Pros

It's very user friendly, inexpensive and easy to use.

Cons

Not being able to print out leases to compare.

Your words go a long way for us in terms of helping other DIY landlords and rental owners to find Avail as their preferred solution. I've also been careful to make note of the ability to print out leases to compare  this may be something that our product team might reach out to you about to learn more about the desired outcome. That being said, I'll be sure to share this information with my product team. If there's anything that you need help with please be sure to let me know! More than happy to help when I can.

### "The Most Amazing Landlord Software Ever"

November 5, 2019

5.0

I love Avail, it saved me the trouble of dealing with the issue of charging my tenant late fee when she forgot to pay rent on time. It's great to document all the maintenance activities and the rent record.

Pros

Easy to navigate, very considerate for the landlord.

Cons

I wish there will be an app for this!!!!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We definitely want to make the rental process easier for landlords and tenants. Our co-founders set out with the goal of making this process easier, so to hear that type of feedback in a review like yours really does make it all worth it. As for a mobile app, that is definitely on our product roadmap. In the meantime, our website is optimized for mobile device usage so your tenants can easily access it from their mobile device's web browser. Again, I can't begin to thank you enough for the kind words! If there's anything we can help out with, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert B. Community Manager @ Avail.co

### "OK option for marketing property"

September 14, 2025

3.0

The avail app is ok but not my first choice for finding applicants. It's an ok free option if you are in the market for a place to list your rentals but there are better free choices as well.

Pros

Last time is used the avail app it was freee which it should be. With it being free it may be an app worth trying out with nothing to lose

Cons

The things i liked the lease about the avail app was the functionality and glitches. I would sometimes have trouble receiving messages. There were also some glitches where people were prompted to fill out the avail rental application even though I disabled applications. Hopefully these glitches have been fixed

Hey Lexus, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad Avail has been a functional and free option for marketing your property. We also hear you on the issues with messaging and application settings. Improving the messaging experience is a top priority, and we're actively working on a more streamlined tool for landlord-tenant communication. While the application feature can't be fully disabled, our updated Lead Settings give you more control. You can now manage how tenants apply, including auto-invites, the “Apply Now” button, and screening reports. To avoid sending invites, make sure all Lead Setting toggles are off before publishing your listing. Your input helps us improve the platform, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're committed to making Avail better for all users!

### "Highly recommend website for easy landlord tracking "

September 26, 2025

5.0

We've been using it for almost three years with our one rental property and place to use it for another property this year. It has been so easy and helpful for a reasonable cost.

Pros

Very easy to post the rental property, receive inquiries from interested parties, accept applications from tenants, create the lease, and accept payments for rent.

Cons

It would be very helpful to be able to post to larger home sites such as Zillow to increase interest in our rental property

Hi Amber, Thanks for the 5-star review! It’s fantastic that after three years, you still find that Avail simplifies your rental management, making your workflow easier and more efficient. We're especially glad to hear that core tasks, including listing units, managing applicants, digital leasing, and accepting rent, have been so helpful. We appreciate your proactive suggestion about expanding syndication to major sites like Zillow. We are constantly evaluating and working on new partnerships to ensure our landlords achieve maximum exposure. Your feedback directly informs these decisions, and we are committed to improving our reach and overall value. Thank you again for recommending Avail. We truly value your support and trust!

### "Avail is Completely Meh, Better Going Elsewhere"

August 8, 2024

1.0

Pretty miserable. Their website is decent, but often times not intuitive at all, which makes it confusing. As said above, customer service is laughably bad and the reason I'm switching. And not having an app in this day and age is totally baffling. Cannot figure out where they are adding any value every time they hike their prices

Pros

I like that payments can be made with no fees if you go for the premium option

Cons

The price has been steadily increasing, but they lack even a basic app. Their customer support is horrible; they always are unavailable in the morning for "team meetings" and then in the afternoon you always get "all representatives are busy at this time" with no option to leave a message.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the no-fee payment option in our premium plan useful. Our recent price adjustments reflect the investments we’re making to continuously improve Avail and provide more tools that make property management easier. These investments have allowed us to roll out new features, such as the ability to list your property on Nextdoor, direct applications through listing syndication sites, and automated tour scheduling—all aimed at helping you manage your property with greater efficiency. We have also recently hired more care agents to better serve and improve the Avail experience for users like you. Also, we want to make sure to note that while we don’t currently have a standalone app, our fully mobile-optimized website is designed to provide easy access on any device. Once again, thank you for your insights, as we are always working to enhance the Avail experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us to share more.

September 26, 2025

We have been using Avail exclusive for over 5 years now. Even our tenants love it! The ease Avail gives from listing the property EVERYWHERE, background and credit checks, creating leases specific to the state with options to add custom clauses, collecting payments and managing repair requests- AVAIL DOES IT ALL and for an incredibly reasonable price.

Pros

The ease of use and quality of services offered. Customer service was quick to respond and very helpful the one time we needed them.

Cons

I wish they had an app for easier access. It would be nice to be able to check messages and payment statuses from my phone.

### "Avail has made managing my rentals so much easier. "

September 27, 2025

5.0

The platform makes it simple to screen tenants, sign leases digitally, and collect rent online — which has saved me so much time and hassle.

Pros

I’ve been using Avail as a landlord and it has truly streamlined how I manage my rentals. I also appreciate how easy it is to track maintenance requests and keep everything organized in one place. The interface is straightforward, and whenever I’ve needed help, the support team has been responsive and professional. Avail has taken a lot of stress out of property management and given me confidence that I’m running things efficiently. Highly recommend to any landlord looking for a reliable tool!

Cons

The only downside is that transfers take a little longer to hit my account, but overall it’s a fantastic platform for landlords.

### "Won’t be changing!"

September 26, 2025

5.0

Have loved using this app for years and recommend to other landlords just starting out or ones that have used other platforms.

Pros

Very easy to learn to use and easy for tenants to use. I’ve used other softwares that are a pain to troubleshoot!

Cons

No app yet! Using an internet browser isn’t the worst thing, but tenants sometime ask me if there’s an app.

### "Nice product with great features. Price for pro membership could be less"

September 25, 2025

5.0

Overall its good if you manage one or a few properties. Its gets so pricy if you want to manage more units.

Pros

As a new landlord, Avail made it easy to write up the state specific lease agreement. Publishing my listing in multiple website. Template documents for receipts and much more.

Cons

The fee kept on increasing. I started of with $5 and now I beleive its at $9. I would appreciate if the fee is back around $5. Even as a promember it takes a few days to get the rent payment. It would be nice if the payments are instant.

Hi Arun, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review.

### "Useful but Expensive"

January 14, 2026

4.0

Pros

I like that Avail makes managing rental properties simple. Listing units, screening tenants, collecting rent, and tracking expenses all in one place saves a lot of time and keeps everything organized.

Cons

The main downside is the cost. It can get expensive if you are managing multiple properties because there is a fee for each unit managed, and if you don't cover the fee then the tenant will have to.

### "How Avail Helped Me as a Landlord"

September 26, 2025

5.0

Pros

Avail is a convenient tool for independent landlords. It makes creating a listing simple and pushes it out to multiple rental sites at once, which saves a lot of effort. Applications and tenant screening are all handled within the platform, so credit and background checks come through cleanly, and everything stays in one place. Features like e-signatures for leases and online rent collection add to the ease of managing the process without juggling paperwork.

Cons

Certain usual features such as adding custom questions require paid add-ons. It would be helpful to have such features in free plan.

September 26, 2025

5.0

It's a no brainer since it's free and it works really well. My tenants like it and I like it. What's more to love

Pros

Super easy to use right out of the box. Easy to learn. Really great value since it's free! It's let me really manage my tenants and my one lease so far really easily. Easy to use features feel secure and lets me grow my business. Referred to a family member and he was able to get it rented in a couple of weeks after trying manually by themselves for months. This is a no-brainer

Cons

No cons that I can share. Just great. Even referring was a simple process. I wouldn't think twice about this if I had to do it all over again

### "Excellent apartment management system for sole proprietors"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Avail has an increasingly good customer service team for us as owners/managers and for tenants alike. We regularly offer suggestions to Avail for improvement and believe they take our suggestions into consideration.

Pros

The cost is affordable. We can use and adapt Avail's model lease to create excellent, personalized leases and rules and regulations. Most importantly, Avail provides lease language specific to our state. We were able to set up the structure for managing our 20 apartments in a reasonable amount of time. When we ran into a glitch, we simply called Avail and they walked us through. We use Avail for advertising apartments, leases, and for receiving and tracking security deposits and rental payments.

Cons

It would be very helpful if Avail offered an accounting process that easily integrated with QuickBooks. It isn't easy to download and provide easily understandable payment records each month. Thus we create our own spreadsheet that we provide to our accountant. We have recommended that Avail offer a limited access option for our accountant to view payments for security deposits and rent, and hope this happens soon.

Reason for choosing Avail

Affordability. General ease of use. Best range of options for the cost. We also liked that the company is located in Chicago (our time zone).

### "Good features so far"

December 6, 2019

4.0

Support has been terrific. Definitely contributes to my impression that Avail is well on its way to having the “Cadillac” identity in landlord management solutions. Nice work with your payment and Leasing setup. Also nice work with much of the marketing tools. Add premium adds (pay for top of list advertising) and syndication to the rest of the online rental sites and you’ll go from a convenient but moderately effective marketing solution to a slam dunk! Or, partner With RentLinx.

Pros

Avail has thoughtfully designed. The features it has work well and they have a more solid foundation in there product than any of the other offerings I explored. Avail has a great product in what feels like a budding market.

Cons

I’m looking forward to Avail tackling some new problems (feature requests): - user selectable widgets on the dashboard, new info options here (time sensitive actions pending in tenant on boarding, maintenance requests, financial performance KPIs, etc) - Kanban style board of maintenance requests - scheduling automation or better yet, partnership with other providers (ShowMojo) - marketing: listing distribution (partnership with RentLinx.com) - Application fees for Smart Move are prices higher than all competitors in your market. My biggest interest is in Avail continuing what you’ve done well: implement features that eliminate or minimize the things that cost me the most time in managing my properties. My biggest suggestion is to assess whether there are niche service providers that do a better job of tenant lifecycle management than you currently do. I’d so, partner with them or match/exceed what they are doing by developing that out in your system. - enable me to block CC payments or include language in the user agreement taking full liability for disputed payments. - listing syndication details seem to loose a lot in translation.

Reason for choosing Avail

See above.

Hi Tyler! This is a very very thorough review and we definitely appreciate you taking the time to really break down the areas of improvement. For our team here at Avail, feedback like this is truly invaluable. For many landlords out there who have a lot of questions and might be hesitating to join Avail, feedback like yours makes it clear why they should. And for those areas where we could certainly improve our product/process, this is absolutely the type of feedback that will help inform our product roadmap moving forward. In terms of potential partnership opportunities, I would recommend reaching out to my colleague Dave (dave@avail.co). In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help out, please feel free to let me know -- my email is robert@avail.co.

### "Easy to use software for new landlords"

July 28, 2018

5.0

Easy collections management, automatic payments and lease renewals.

Pros

Although Rentalutions offers a ton of functionality, I like how easy it is to setup a payment schedule. Cash flow is important as a Landlord, and Rentalutions will send tenants reminders about payments if not made before a certain date. The landlords also get notifications when payments are made and notified regarding the date of deposit in their account.

Cons

I wish there was a way to trim down the functionality. The new UI is slick, but I really only use about 25% of this product. I find that the screens are a little crowded now.

### "My landlord experience using Avail"

June 1, 2022

5.0

I had a small problem when I accepted an application from a tenant. Somehow they made a duplicate application. But avail customer service jumped right in and helped the tenant and myself to resolve it quickly. I've asked for technical help a couple of times and they always get back to me shortly.

Pros

I can easily see maintenance request previous leases and a payment history then I'm able to print off for taxes. The software is just easy to navigate.

Cons

Nothing. Everything has gone well. I can't say I've had any issues that would be negative in over a year.

Reason for choosing Avail

Because the other products I researched were more expensive and did not offer the customer service I'm receiving.

### "Ease of use"

January 29, 2022

4.0

I keep saying to my wife, I wish we had started using Avail a while ago. It has been a huge game change, saving us tons of time and trips to the medicine cabinet for Advil to alleviate the headache doing the whole process on your own can bring.

Pros

Honestly, it's the ease of using the software. Everything is very laid out very clearly. Navigating the software is very simple and my tenants seem to have no problem setting their payments, signing the lease and everything else that comes with renting such as renters insurance and providing documentation.

Cons

That not all features are available yet, such as uploading your own lease and having tenants signing that. ALTHOUGH, avail is working on that and that is in beta right now. They were kind enough to let me use the beta version and it works extremely well. There was also another issue I had where a tenant accidentally paid twice and I couldn't adjust the payment. I three tenants under the same lease and the one payment from one of those tenants I couldn't move, yet. You are able to move the WHOLE rent amount for those of you wondering, not a partial amount. Once again, Avail has been so great and took care of that issue for me.

### "Great software for property management "

June 27, 2019

4.0

I've been able to easily manage my out of state properties with the help and ease of Avail. The maintenance communication layout has allowed me to better track and manage maintenance requests and their associated costs. Additionally it's offered a great platform for managing an e-signed lease agreement.

Pros

Avail is perfect for small property management teams with the ease of marketing your rental through their site, reviewing applications and general tenant screening, creating a lease agreement and tenant maintenance requests. All of these features are easy to use and the overall lay out of the site is user friendly and well displayed.

Cons

The only con I run into with this software is that the automated emails that go out to applicants and tenants do not include an option to cc or bcc the landlord.

Hi Jacqueline, Robert here I'm one of our resident Community Managers and I first just wanted to say thank you so much for the thoughtful review. Reviews like yours mean a lot to us; it helps landlords all over the country who are looking for a new rental business solution to find us. As you noted, we are meant for small DIY landlords (and their teams) and we've tried to think through developing and delivering tools that our core userbase would most appreciate.

This allows you to receive those same notifications that your tenants are CC'd on (you can also change this from directly via the payments page as well). Again, I can't begin to thank you enough! In the meantime, if you need anything else please let me know. More than happy to be a resource for you when we can! Kindly, Robert B. Community Manager @ Avail.co

### "Cedarstone Review"

December 6, 2019

4.0

Excellent overall

Pros

The software is very easy to use once you are familiar with the program. It does a great job of helping us keep track of all of rentals in one convenient place.

Cons

Not as much with the software but with the lack of tutorials of the software. I think it would be beneficial to have several tutorials on how to enter units into the program. Customer service was great at helping every time we called but would have been nice to have something else to go by.

Reason for choosing Avail

Hi Jeffry, Robert here. I'm one of Avail's Community Managers, and I wanted to follow-up to say thank you for being a valued Avail user. Furthermore, I wanted to apologize for the lack of tutorials. We are making a lot of changes to the platform (all exciting updates that members have asked for), but with those changes, we realize that it can take some time to update our tutorials to appropriately reflect all of those new changes (which can definitely cause some confusion and can lead to a not so great experience). Having said that I'd love to hear more about any specific features we could highlight, and most importantly, would love to know what you'd like to see changed so that Avail can become a product you'd recommend to others. Please email me (robert@avail.co), and we can get a follow-up call scheduled. Thank you so much for the honest review and keep in mind that we're here as a resource for you. Kindly, Robert B. Community Manager @ Avail.co

### "Beware of Avail payment systems "

October 4, 2024

2.0

Pros

Good for lease management and storing and editing leases.

Cons

Landlord using Avail for 5+ years now. Poor customer support and lack of support during payment disputes. Avail is great for happy-path conditions, but if anything misfires with payments or credit card disputes, Avail has no support available. Very disappointed to have represented by Avail and no confidence in using Avail payment systems moving forward.

### "Great software for small scale landlords"

December 7, 2019

5.0

Overall, I love Avail and don't see any reason to use another software.

Pros

I use this software to keep track of just two properties, and I like it because it's very affordable for small landlords like me and still provides all of the features I want from a professional property management software.

Cons

I wish the billing system could be more flexible. For instance, there doesn't seem to be an easy (from-the-dashboard) way to mark an invoice as paid from my end if a tenant gave me a check instead of using the system.

Furthermore, thank you for leaving such a thorough review of Avail! We are making a lot of changes to the platform (all exciting updates that members have asked for), and a review like yours really helps our team to move the product in the right direction.

Thank you so much for the honest review and keep in mind that we're always here as a resource for you! :) Kindly, Robert B. Community Manager @ Avail.co

### "Avail Software "

Because of the difficulty in generating a simple lease renewal I had renters leave through frustration.

Pros

Easly tracks and maintains income processing and late fee notifcations with reminders sent to renters in a timely manner

Cons

Very cumbersome to generate a lease and very very difficult to understand the functioning of the software in general.
