About Avail
Avail is a rental property management system for landlords which offers tools for finding tenants, advertising property vacancies, pre-screening applicants, carrying out credit history checks, processing payments, signing lease contracts, and more. The cloud-based platform is designed for landlords with less than 10 units, but users are able to add additional properties for an additional fee. Avail helps landlords to advertise their vacant units, request rental applications and credit reports, sign leases, and collect rent, all online from one platform.
When searching for tenants for vacant properties, users can utilize Avail’s renting listing creation tool and connections with third party property rental websites such as Zillow and Trulia in order to gather leads. Avail automatically publishes listings across platforms and any potential tenants can apply online via a custom application. Within the landlord portal, users can schedule property viewings with potential tenants, ask pre-screening questions, and request renter profiles, history, or credit checks. Avail integrates with TransUnion to gather reports on tenants’ credit, criminal background, or eviction history.
Landlords can also use the Avail platform to generate leases and contracts, by customizing the pre-built, state-specific templates, and add in any custom clauses, attachments, or rules. The electronic signature capture functionality allows tenants to sign contracts online, and payments can also be processed online within Avail for fast and secure rent payments. Day-to-day operations such as maintenance and tenant communications can be managed within Avail, with tools for tenants to report issues, request maintenance, and track progress on repairs.

Great software for small scale landlords
Reviewed on 2019/12/07
Overall, I love Avail and don't see any reason to use another software.
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.
Response from Avail
Hi Julia!
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, 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.
I've personally made note of the invoice issue, and while you can achieve this from directly on the payments page, I still understand that it could be a little bit more straightforward. If you'd like, please feel free to send this along with any other constructive feedback over to me ([email protected]). I'll definitely get this over to my Product team!
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.

Pros
Free to use.auto populates 12 other sites, so get more leads as landlord. One stop shop does credit and eviction report.
Cons
Hiding the apt number, so people don't knock on an occupied property
Response from Avail
Hi Tamara, thank you so much for putting time into this honest review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are happy that Avail has been able to help with making your rental property management process easier. We've also gotten this point of feedback before about being able to hide the apartment number, though listing syndication to partner sites makes it so that the exact address has to be provided. That said, it is a fair point to make and I will be sure to provide this point of feedback to the team to keep it in mind for future considerations. Thank you so much and please let me know if there's anything else we can assist with. Kind regards, Robert B. - Community Manager @ Avail.co

See Cons.
Stress imposed and the need to share extremely sensitive documents by email to get around the system and multiple phone calls for each application and to each party is an extremely poor experience, Lost opportunities, and put our personal information at risk, all with zero outcome and benefit.
Pros
ez to launch. that is it.
wish I could say more the review requires more letters so am just typing more.
Cons
1) poor attention to catching user errors and explaining the problem to fix so user can proceed.
2) lack of awareness of use cases that real life users experience. Seems you cant live at same address 2x in past, cant own an address other than your current address. cant have prior rent be 0 (at least give a warning for that, (ie if you owned it).. and anyone without a credit rating will get stuck with a mysterious error and no explanation (which mean no foreign people can apply, which is some regions is an illegal restriction to impose.. but this software is by lack of function imposing it)
3) API (Application connection) hand of from Avail to Transunion is horrible.. sometimes TU get some info, no info, all info.. whatever the case.. the user gets no feedback.. Software that guarantees phones 4+ phone calls to 3 different parties Landloard, Software, Credit Check Company... is NOT a software Solution,, it is a Problem.
4) UI/UX lacking basic feedback.. can I save. can I come back. how do I go forward, did that work... Im stuck, now what...

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.
