Here you will add the address of the property and the arrangement from a drop down menu e.g. I rented, I owed, I lived with family/friends etc.. In the contact details section you will add the details of the person that property managers will need to contact to confirm the living arrangement such as the family member you stayed with or the property manager that managed your rental property as well as their email address and contact number.

When you select a property this will take you to the preview for that property. A few key notes: the pictures icon shows you the photos of the property, the property details are below the property address, you can see the inspection times coming up and register for this to the right. The green ‘Start Application’ button will filter in your rental profile information to send off to the respective property manager.

Once you have found the property you wish to apply for and clicked the ‘Start Application’ icon it will begin your application process. Most of your information is already in your Rental Profile but this is asking about your specific requests such as the term you would like for the property and when you would like to start. The listing preferences are on the top of the screen and this is the owners preferred choices but include your preferred choices and we can negotiate this during the application process.

 

There is also an option to describe your household this is where you can give a brief outline of your family and give us a better understanding of what you are looking for. Here is also where you will invite other applicants to your application.

 

 Every applicant over the age of 18 will need to create their own profile and this is where you input their email address to link the applications together. Snug will send an invitation to their account which they will log in to accept and this will send the multiple profiles off as one application for the property managers to process. Use the ‘Add Another’ button to add more applicants until every applicant is invited.
