As people across Los Angeles continue to grapple with the devastating impacts of the wildfires, the demand for housing has surged. With over 15,000 structures burned, countless families and individuals have been displaced, creating an urgent need for shelter. This has intensified competition in an already tight rental market, leaving many struggling to find a new place to call home. 

You can offer critical support as an agent by introducing prospective renters to RentSpree’s reusable application—a tool that can save time and reduce stress during this challenging period.

The challenge: Navigating a market with intense demand

For those displaced by wildfires, the process of applying for rentals can feel overwhelming, adding to the difficulties they’re already navigating. Limited options and a highly competitive market have resulted in many people being turned away from their first choice. Starting the process over with every new property adds unnecessary stress and delays during an already trying time.

The solution: Reusable rental applications

RentSpree’s reusable rental application simplifies the process for prospective renters by allowing them to apply to multiple properties with a single application. This tool is:

  • Easy to use: Renters only need to fill out their application once. They can then share it instantly with multiple property representatives, without additional effort.
  • Free for displaced individuals: While our reusable applications are typically $15, RentSpree is waiving all fees for renters impacted by the wildfires.
  • Efficient in a constrained market: Reusable applications help renters submit applications quickly, giving them a better chance at securing housing.

How agents can help

As an agent, you play a key role in guiding individuals to tools that can make their search easier. Here’s how you can provide support:

1. Introduce reusable applications

Let prospective renters know about this option and explain how it can save time and effort. Highlight that it’s free for those affected by the wildfires.

2. Guide them through the process

Walk renters through completing and sharing their reusable application. Emphasize how it can help them apply to more properties without extra work.

3. Focus on the benefits

Reinforce that this tool eliminates repetitive tasks, reduces delays, and can help them get ahead as many others apply for housing in the same areas.

Making a difference

By recommending RentSpree’s reusable application, you’re offering more than a tool—you’re providing relief and practical support during a difficult time. Together, we can help displaced individuals find stability and rebuild their lives.
