Renters finish the application on their phone. You send it to the listing agent, owner or property manager in one tap, and the decision comes back to you. Every conversation stays private.
The renter fills it out once. Everyone after that sees the same complete file, and nobody re-asks for a pay stub.
Every account gets its own apply link with your name and photo. Text it, post it, put it in your listing.
About 15 minutes. Progress saves, co-applicants and guarantors get their own link, and every document lands in one place.
Pass the finished application to the listing agent, owner or property manager. They open it from a secure link. No account needed.
Approve, interview, ask for documents or deny with a reason. It flows back down the chain and you tell your renter.
Pick the account that fits. You can send and receive applications from any of them.
Send your link to renters, collect complete applications and pass them to the listing side in one tap.
Create an agent account →Take applications for every building you manage, review documents in one place and decide fast.
Create a property manager account →Take applications for your own units, or review the ones agents send you, and keep every conversation private.
Create an owner account →Co-broke deals, strict fee rules and renters who want to apply from the subway. Hotpotato was built inside a New York brokerage.
New York caps application background checks at $20 and waives the fee when renters bring their own recent report. Renters upload theirs, so no paid screening report is required.
Tenant’s agent, listing agent, owner and manager each talk one-to-one. Nobody sees a conversation they aren’t in.
Renters switch the whole application to Spanish with one tap, texts and emails included.
Yes. Create an account and send your link today.
No. They open the application from a secure link, and can create a free account in one tap if they want a dashboard.
Hotpotato doesn’t charge renters anything to fill out the application.
Photo ID, recent pay stubs, a W-2 or tax return, bank statements and their full credit report. You see what’s in and what’s missing at a glance.
Only the people it’s sent to. Each conversation stays between the two people in it, and documents are deleted automatically 60 days after the application.
Everything works on a phone: the renter’s application, your dashboard and the owner’s review.
Set up your link in about two minutes.
