Avail is landlord software from Realtor.com designed for DIY landlords with small rental portfolios. It covers the full rental cycle: listing syndication to major rental sites, rental applications with TransUnion-backed tenant screening (credit, background, and eviction reports), state-specific lawyer-reviewed lease templates with e-signing, online rent collection via ACH or card, and maintenance tracking. Core features are free for landlords, and over one million landlords have used the platform. Note that Avail is residential landlord software rather than a commercial real estate product.
