AppFolio includes FolioScreen Trusted Renter, an integrated tenant screening capability that combines background checks, criminal history, income verification, employment verification, and ID verification within the same system used to manage the rest of the leasing process. FolioScreen is designed to support Fair Housing compliance and includes fraud detection tools to help property managers identify risk before approving an applicant.

AppFolio is designed for portfolio scale and supports leasing operations across both onsite and offsite teams, making it suitable for managers who oversee mixed or geographically distributed portfolios. The Leasing CRM creates a single guest card for every lead that tracks their activity across all properties in the portfolio, giving leasing teams and leadership a consolidated view of pipeline health. Customers managing portfolios of 1,500 units or more use AppFolio's marketing and leasing workflows alongside its accounting, maintenance, and reporting capabilities within the same platform.

AppFolio reduces vacancy rates by reducing the time between lead generation and lease signing through a combination of automated lead response, pricing tools, and integrated leasing workflows. AppFolio Realm-X Leasing Performer responds to every lead within minutes and keeps prospects engaged throughout the process, while Leasing Signals helps property managers set competitive, market-informed rent prices to attract qualified applicants faster. Together, these capabilities reduce the gaps in the leasing funnel where prospects typically drop off, such as slow follow-up, mispriced units, and manual screening delays.

AppFolio's Leasing Signals capability gives property managers a data-backed foundation for making pricing decisions. Rather than relying on a single input, Leasing Signals weighs a range of factors, including your occupancy goals, unit turn costs, and lease expiration timing, to surface pricing guidance tailored to your portfolio and strategy. Managers can accept, modify, or override suggestions based on local knowledge, keeping teams in control without requiring them to manually reconstruct that knowledge for every unit or renewal. By grounding renewal pricing in a full picture of portfolio conditions, Leasing Signals supports the kind of offers that keep satisfied residents from shopping alternatives.

Your strategy, goals, data, and pricing decisions are used exclusively for your business and kept confidential. Your proprietary information is never factored into anyone else's pricing. Leasing Signals is available as an add-on or included in AppFolio Performance Platform Max.*
