Congrats. When your application is approved, you'll see a confirmation screen titled "{Your name}, your application was approved!" with the date your approval was issued. Here's what typically happens next.
Wait for the property manager to reach out
The property manager handles the lease signing process directly with you β not through Rent Butter. Expect them to follow up with next steps, usually by email or phone.
How long does it take?
Property managers control the timing β they review the screening, make a decision, and reach out from their side. We typically see decisions within 1β3 business days, but the actual timing depends on the property manager and can vary. If it's been longer than you expected, contact them directly.
Common next steps
Depending on the property, you may be asked to:
Review and sign the lease
Pay a deposit or first month's rent
Provide additional documents (move-in checklist, utility setup info, etc.)
Schedule a move-in date
Questions about your application
For questions about your screening results, contact the property manager directly. They have the full context on the decision.
