Understanding who pays what is critical for property owners and buyers. Here's how competing platforms allocate costs between tenants and owners.
| Platform | Tenant Pays | Owner / Manager Pays | Cost Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Applicant Screening | $15-$50 per application | Screening vendor fees | Transactional |
| Leap GWP | 4.5%-8% of annual rent (one-time) | Monthly premiums + claims deductible | Ongoing risk cost |
| Rhino | $4-$10/month or upfront | $0 | Risk transfer |
| HappyCo | $0 | Per-unit monthly subscription | Operational software |
| Traditional Leasing | $0 | 50%-100% of first month's rent | Leasing expense |
Compared to traditional platforms, HomeUp positions itself as a cost-transparent solution with clear responsibility allocation.
Clear breakdown of who pays what—no hidden ongoing owner premiums that erode NOI over time.
Minimize administrative overhead and eliminate ongoing monthly premiums that impact long-term profitability.
Streamlined workflows and reduced staffing needs through technology-first approach to property management.
Fair, transparent pricing for residents without sacrificing protection for property owners.
Property management companies already absorb significant leasing, staffing, and risk-related costs. Platforms that shift ongoing premiums to ownership can materially impact NOI.
A transparent, efficiency-driven solution like HomeUp aligns with ownership priorities by simplifying cost structures while maintaining protection and operational performance.
