Love the idea -- details are important here.

I've tried a few other services for my properties, but the UI tends to be really sloppy for other "apply online" web services. You need to make it easy for me to use and inviting for my potential tenants.

One thing that would make me almost certain to try it is if you could bundle an affordable credit check into the application process. Any plans for something like that?

I'd be interested in helping beta test this if you have a need for that.

We agree. We've looked at some very poor web services in this area.

How do you think our UI handles? We're aiming to make it simple. Thanks for your offer -- we'll definitely take you up on it.

We have plans to add affordable credit checks in the process. For the time being, we're letting people attach credit reports to their applications as a stopgap solution.

I'm smalter's co-founder. We would love to have you beta test, I'll email you at the address on your HN profile.

As for credit checks: yep, that's our next step.

Love the idea, but the UI makes it feel a little unconvincing. If you need some front-end help, drop me a line and we can chat tonight.
Yeah, I'd love to chat.

I can't find your email on your HN profile, but mine is rodrigo@leasely.com.
