Choosing the right role
When you invite someone to join your application, you'll see a list of available roles with a short description of each. The two most common are:
Co-applicant — anyone over 18 who will be living in the property and will be on the lease, such as a roommate, spouse, or partner. Each co-applicant completes their own separate application.
Guarantor — someone who will not live in the property but is providing financial support for the lease.
Note: You'll only see the roles your property manager has enabled, so the options may vary depending on where you're applying.
If you select the wrong role, you can step back and change it without cancelling your application and starting over.
When you can invite someone
At the start of your application, you'll be prompted to add anyone else who needs to be included. You can also send an invitation at any point afterward using the Invite button on your application screen.
Sending the invitation
You have two options for sharing the invite:
Email — enter the person's email address and send the invitation directly from BoomScreen.
Shareable link — copy the link and share it however works best — text, a messaging app, or in person.
Managing invitations you've sent
Once your invitations go out, you'll see a list of everyone you've added along with a status for each person, so you can tell at a glance who has started their application and who hasn't.
From that list you can:
Resend an invitation if someone hasn't received it or needs a nudge.
Cancel an invitation if you need to remove someone.
Important: Only the person who originally sent an invitation can resend or cancel it. If someone else in your group invited a person, they'll need to manage that invitation themselves. Any reminder notifications about a pending invitation go only to whoever sent it.
If you've already submitted separate applications
If you and the other person have each submitted your own separate application independently, you won't be able to merge them through the portal yourself. Contact your property manager directly, or reach out to Boom Support at support@boompay.app to request that the applications be linked.
Once everyone has accepted their invitation and completed their portion of the application, your property manager will be able to review the full group submission.
