Every applicant screened,
before the viewing.
Replace back-and-forth messages with structured prescreening. Ask the right questions, auto-filter unsuitable applications, and spend viewing time only with qualified tenants.
The old way vs the Latch way.
Move from ad-hoc applicant handling to a consistent professional screening process.
Without Latch
Manual applicant triage
- Inbox full of unstructured applicant messages
- Wasting viewings on candidates outside your criteria
- Manual follow-up for missing tenant details
- No shared process across team members or agents
- Slow decisions because answers are hard to compare
With Latch
Automated prescreening flow
- Listing-specific question sets sent automatically
- Pass/fail rules filter applications before scheduling
- Standardized responses across income, pets, and move-in
- Fast shortlists built from comparable applicant data
- Clear audit trail from first response to viewing invite
