Avail review

Avail is the strongest free option for leasing paperwork. Its Unlimited plan, free for any number of units, includes listings on partner sites such as Zumper, Realtor.com and ApartmentList, TransUnion credit reports with criminal and eviction checks, and lawyer-reviewed lease templates for each state with local clauses and disclosures added by its LocalAssist tool. Rent collection includes recurring payments, next-day deposits, late fees and property-specific bank accounts, and maintenance tickets can be forwarded to a pro automatically. Unlimited Plus costs $9 per unit a month and adds FastPay, waived ACH fees for tenants, custom application questions, editable lease templates, a branded property website and faster support. For one or two units that is a fair price; at ten units it becomes $90 a month, which is where flat-price tools pull ahead. On the free plan your tenants pay $2.50 per bank transfer.
