How it works

Search, apply, match, book.

Filter your search to find a place that meets your needs from one month up to a year, furnished or unfurnished.

2Apply

Fill out one application, use it everywhere.

Your ID, your income, and your residential history go in once and save to your account. Applying to the next place reuses that same application instead of asking you to fill it all out again. Applying is free, so you can apply to as many places as it takes, and the applications you have already sent stay open while you wait to hear back.

MatchBook Renter Verification

Screened once. Trusted everywhere on MatchBook.

MRV is an optional $25 screening: a credit check reported as a range rather than an exact score, plus eviction and criminal record checks. It stays valid for 90 days, and during that window any host reviewing one of your applications sees the result without a new check or a new charge. What they see is the same report you see.

The same screening, from both sides.

3Match

The host approves, and it’s a match.

When a host approves your application, that’s a match. That means you can book and confirm your dates: review the details, sign the lease, then make the first payment.

4Sign and book

You sign a real lease.

You and your host both sign the lease electronically, on MatchBook. It sets out the terms for dates, rent, and deposit, so what you owe and what you get back is written down before any money moves. The signed copy stays in your account.

5Move in

Move in, and the rest is on schedule.

A few days before move-in, you get your host’s instructions: property access, parking, and WiFi. After a prorated first month, rent is charged automatically on the 1st of each month. Your lease and every payment stay on the booking page.
