Rental applications that don’t suck.

Applying for a rental shouldn't feel like a homework assignment. Porch makes it easier for everyone: renters stop hunting down every document, piecing it all together and sending it out again and again; agents know who they're representing; and landlords decide on verified facts.

The problem

Renting still runs on email.

Renters dig up the same pay stubs, letters and ID for every listing and attach them to strangers. Agents chase missing documents over text. Landlords open a pile of PDFs and guess who’s real.

For brokerages

Every renter on Porch comes with an agent.

Every application a renter sends introduces Porch to a landlord and an agent. Under your brokerage’s name, Porch becomes the front door for renters in the city, and today’s renters are next year’s buyers.

It spreads itselfEvery application brings a landlord and an agent to Porch.
Qualified clientsRenters arrive verified and ready to place.
Renters become buyersThe relationship starts at the rental and carries to the purchase.

Let’s make renting suck less.

The first Porch application is already working, here in Toronto. We’re looking for one brokerage to build it with.
