Built for landlords who do it themselves
Stop juggling 5 tools.
Run everything from one place.
Criminal, eviction, and rental history — all in one report. Credit reports are not live. Platinum AI scores the applicant so you don't have to read 40 pages.
ACH and card payments after Verify ($5) or Platinum. Platform fee is 3%. Late fees are stored on the lease and added to amount due; autopay can collect them after due. Payouts via Stripe Connect.
County-level clauses included automatically. Platinum ($5/mo) — not on Free.
AI GeneratedMaintenance requests are categorized and prioritized automatically (Platinum AI). Assign a vendor or leave the request open so pros can quote — they still accept from My Jobs.
Every transaction logged by property. Schedule E export is Platinum.

- 7-year eviction history search
- Rental history & SSN trace report (FREE for renters to run on themselves)

Intelligence, built in
AI that does the work.
Not just the suggestions.
Every dollar you spend on AI credits comes back as hours you didn't spend on paperwork. Landlord AI besides John is Platinum ($5/mo).
AI Lease Generator
Platinum. State-specific, county-level clauses. All required disclosures. A complete, legally-sound lease in under 30 seconds.
AI Risk Scoring
Platinum. After screening, AI reads criminal, eviction, and rental history and gives you a 0–100 score plus a plain-English call. Credit reports are not live.
AI Maintenance Triage
Platinum. Tenant describes it, AI classifies urgency and suggests a trade. You assign a vendor or leave it open for quotes — not an automatic dispatch.
AI Listing Copy
Platinum. Give it the unit details. AI writes the description — compelling, SEO-ready, and tuned to attract quality applicants, not just any applicants.
AI Expense Categorizer
Platinum. Snap a receipt. AI maps it to the right IRS Schedule E category — repairs, depreciation, utilities — instantly logged to your ledger.
AI Adverse Action Notices
When you deny after screening, AI drafts the FCRA adverse action notice. Pay-or-quit and other legal-notice generators are not live — Ask John for state timing instead.

Renters Get Free Tools Too
VerticalRent isn't just for landlords. Renters get a powerful suite of free tools to help them find the perfect home and stand out as an applicant.
Grow Your Maintenance Business
Create a free profile, quote available jobs in your service area, then accept the assignment from My Jobs. VerticalRent keeps 3% when you get paid. Platinum is $5/mo for first look — the job fee stays 3%.
Free business profile
List your trade, rates, and service area. Optional Trust Badge ($5, or included with Platinum). A background-checked badge is set after review — not a self-serve criminal report.
Quote, then accept
Open requests show on Available Jobs. Quote them, then accept from My Jobs. Landlords can also assign a platform vendor — you still accept.
Card pay after complete
Mark the job complete and download an invoice. The landlord pays by card. VerticalRent keeps 3%. Payouts wait on Stripe Connect — they are not automatic on complete.
Free to start. Platinum is $5/month.
One plan, per role. Landlords add $2 per extra door, never more than $99. Identity verification is included with Platinum.
