How they fit together
| Property's relet program | Dryft | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The landlord's approval process and paperwork for a new tenant | A service that finds the replacement tenant |
| Finds you a tenant? | Usually not. You find one | Yes. Your agent sources incoming tenants |
| Approves the tenant? | Yes | No. The property manager approves; the tenant applies directly |
| Cost | A relet or admin fee, if the property charges one | A service fee, shown in an instant quote |
| Refund if it fails | Check the property's terms | A full refund is available before the incoming tenant signs the lease |
What to do first
- Ask your property manager what their relet or takeover process involves, and what it costs.
- Check whether there's a cutoff date for takeovers.
- Then decide whether to find the tenant yourself or have Dryft do it.
Using Dryft with your property's program
In a Dryft takeover, the incoming tenant applies directly to your property, and the property manager issues the takeover forms. If Dryft doesn't find a replacement tenant, you get your money back: you can request a full refund for any reason until the incoming tenant signs the official lease.
Frequently asked questions
Does my apartment's relet program find me a tenant?
Usually not. It's the approval process for a tenant you bring. Finding the tenant is where a service like Dryft helps.
Do I still pay my property's relet fee if I use Dryft?
That depends on your property. Ask what it charges. Your Dryft quote shows Dryft's price before you pay.
Can anyone use Dryft?
Search for your property on the quote page to see your price. The move-out date has to be at least 31 days away, and the program is only available for move-outs before a cutoff date for your property, which the quote tool shows you.
