Increase Occupancy with Smarter Screening

Introduction

Vacancies are costly, and the longer a unit sits empty, the more revenue property managers lose. That’s why smart operators are turning to advanced screening tools like Rent Butter to improve conversion rates, fill units faster, and attract more qualified tenants.

Smarter screening isn’t just about saying “yes” or “no” to applicants—it’s about having the right data to make confident, efficient leasing decisions.

The Impact of Traditional Screening

Conventional screening methods often rely heavily on outdated credit models and manual processes. This can lead to:

• High application drop-off rates
• Delays in approval times
• False negatives that reject good renters

These inefficiencies directly contribute to longer vacancies and lower overall occupancy.

How Rent Butter Improves Conversions
Rent Butter empowers operators by:

• Using real-time financial data to verify income and rent payment history
• Automating decision workflows to reduce delays
• Expanding applicant pools by considering non-traditional earners

Many Rent Butter partners report cutting approval times by over 50%, and seeing higher lease conversion rates as a result.

Attracting Quality Tenants
Better data leads to better decisions. Rent Butter helps:

• Identify renters who consistently pay on time
• Reduce risk of early move-outs or missed payments
• Match the right applicants to the right properties

And because the process is smoother and more transparent, it boosts applicant satisfaction too—making quality renters more likely to sign.

Conclusion

To reduce vacancies and increase occupancy, you need more than just leads—you need better leasing outcomes. Rent Butter gives operators the data and tools to screen smarter, close leases faster, and attract the right renters.
