The steps

  1. Discovery: find a listing (search and compare) and create an email alert if needed;
  2. Application: send your file to the landlord;
  3. Review: the landlord compares files and may ask you for documents;
  4. Decision: acceptance or refusal, always made by a person;
  5. Lease signing: contract drawn up from the home's data, with e-signature if the landlord uses it;
  6. Move-in: inspection and key handover;
  7. Living there: rent, receipts and documents in your tenant space.

Sending your application

On a long-term listing, click Apply with my file (sign-in required). The page summarises rent, charges and your effort rate, then you choose:
  • the documents to share (ticked one by one);
  • whether to share your reliability score (optional);
  • a message to the landlord.
Tick the consultation consent, then send. The landlord is notified by email, without your file in the message. A saved profile is required to apply; an incomplete file does not prevent applying, but the landlord may ask for the missing documents. You can have at most 10 open applications and one per home.

Following your application

In I am a tenant › My tenant file, My applications section, each application shows its status: Sent, Under review, Documents requested, Accepted, Not selected or Withdrawn, and its history. You are notified by email of each decision or document request.

Answering a document request

If the landlord asks for a document, a banner says so. First add it to your file (My supporting documents section), then click Share this document in the application. The landlord can only request documents from the permitted list.

Withdrawing your application

Click Withdraw my application: the landlord immediately loses access to your documents. The same applies when your application is not selected. A closed application is deleted after 90 days.

Accepted application

The landlord creates your lease from your file: your identity, contact details and move-in date are pre-filled, without re-typing. You become an active tenant on the platform: find your rent, receipts and documents in your tenant space, and your reliability score starts to build up.
