If your application was declined, here's how to follow up — including who decides whether to reverse a decision and what your options are.

Rent Butter doesn't decide whether your application is approved or declined — the property manager does, based on their own rental criteria. That means the property manager is also the one who decides whether to reconsider. Rent Butter does not have details on what decision was made.

Contact them directly. Explain your situation — for example, if you've corrected something that affected your application (a credit issue is now resolved, your income has changed, etc.), they can decide whether to take another look. We will not update or re-screen an application without notifying the housing provider.

This is different from appealing the decision. If you believe your screening report contains an error (a wrong record, an outdated balance, etc.), tap Contact Us on the decline screen — that emails Rent Butter's disputes team. They can review the data and correct it if there's an issue.

Under federal law, you also have the right to a copy of any report used to make a decision and the right to dispute inaccurate information.

That's up to the property manager. Some allow re-applications after a waiting period, some don't. Ask them directly.

Yes. A decline at one property doesn't prevent you from applying elsewhere through Rent Butter.
