Fee transparency

Fee transparency matters when verifying income

Payscore measures income on every applicant against the full monthly payment by reading total rent and fee terms directly from your PMS. Waive a charge, run a concession, adjust a fee package, and your income threshold moves with the changes. Your standard stays current on its own, and every report from Payscore accounts for what a resident will actually pay.

Approve with confidence. On policy, every time.

Fee transparency is the new normal. Stay ahead of the curve with Payscore.

Publishing all-in pricing is now required across a growing list of jurisdictions, and renter expectations match those changes. The operators who already qualify candidates using the full monthly payment are ahead of the market, and they get something better than compliance as a result. They get higher quality occupants, those who have been approved based on their ability to carry the real number. Plus, they can show any owner exactly how a decision was made, and they never touch a fee spreadsheet to do it.

Payscore has built in these answers today, whatever your local rules look like tomorrow.

Set it up once. We keep it current.

Terms update themselves

Change a fee or concession in your PMS. Payscore reads the current terms and adjusts the income requirement at the property or floor plan level.

One source of truth

Your PMS holds the numbers and Payscore uses them. No parallel fee tables, no site by site updates, no chasing which community changed what this week.

Works where your team already works

Verification stays inside the property management system where your leasing teams live.

One standard, every property

Every community qualifies against its own current terms while your portfolio standard holds, so consistency reigns supreme.

A wider pool of qualified applicants

Direct connections to 99%+ of North American financial institutions read actual deposit activity, so hourly, gig, commission, benefits, and multi-source earners qualify on what genuinely arrives in their account rather than what a paystub might show. See how income verification works.

Every decision documented

Each report captures the income found, the terms it was measured against, and the resulting ratio. A March approval still explains itself in September.

Questions leasing teams ask

Change it in your PMS. Payscore picks up the current terms and adjusts the income requirement automatically.
Yes. You set the ratio and which charges count toward the obligation. Payscore applies your standard consistently and keeps the underlying amounts current.
Yes. Fee terms are read per property or floor plan, so each community qualifies against its own current numbers while your portfolio standard stays uniform.
Applicants securely connect their financial accounts, and Payscore analyzes actual deposit activity. Payscore connects to 99%+ of North American financial institutions, which covers income that employer payroll records miss.
Two things move at once. Qualifying against the full monthly payment raises the threshold, and verifying income at the source widens what counts toward it. Applicants with variable, seasonal, or multiple income streams frequently qualify for more than document-based methods indicate, and the residents who clear are qualified against the number they will actually pay.
Requirements vary by state and city and the list keeps growing. Payscore is built to work either way. Qualifying against all-in rent gives you a more accurate approval today and leaves you ready if a rule arrives in your market.
Fee and integration configuration happens during onboarding. After that, day to day workflow for leasing teams is unchanged.
Payscore is accepted by state housing finance agencies and delivers according to the documentation standards upheld by compliance teams.
Payscore is SOC 2 Type I certified. Applicants grant read-only access to verify income and can revoke it at any time. Learn more on our Trust Center.
