Nine follow ups per applicant. Pay stubs buried in WhatsApp, ID in a text, a credit report attached to an email from Tuesday. Foyer gives every renter one link, one checklist, one place, and tells you the moment something lands.
Not the showing. Not the offer. The four days spent asking four people for the same six documents.
“I have asked three times for the same pay stub.”
One click reminders. Foyer knows exactly what is missing and asks for you.
“Whose ID is this, the applicant or the roommate?”
Every co-applicant gets their own labelled checklist. Nothing gets mixed up.
“It is 11 pm and I am renaming attachments.”
Files arrive named, sorted by applicant, ready to send to the landlord.
“They sent personal ID over WhatsApp. Again.”
Encrypted uploads in a portal built for it, not a chat app on their phone.
Your renter does the rest, and you watch it fill in.
You get a personal link for business cards, an email signature, a listing, or a text. The renter lands on your branded portal, not a generic form.
A clear checklist tells them exactly what is needed: ID, pay stubs, credit report, references. Every co-applicant gets their own link and their own list, so nobody waits on the lead applicant to forward anything. Phone photos become clean PDFs.
An email the moment anything lands. Approve it, or ask for a better copy in one click. When the offer is accepted, the deposit and utility documents follow the same flow.
Drag the slider to your monthly volume.
Based on roughly six follow ups per application at seven minutes each, plus about 25 minutes re-filing documents that arrive by text or email.
Primary, co-applicant, roommate. Every person gets their own link and their own checklist, so nobody waits on the lead applicant to forward anything. You see all of them side by side.
When the file is complete, send the listing agent or landlord one expiring link: the application, every document and the letter, with their name on every page. You see the moment it is opened.
Forward the schedule from BrokerBay or ShowingTime and your renter gets the running order on their phone: what time, which address, and directions from wherever they are standing.
The questions that turn an applicant into a person, answered in point form by the renter. You get the letter that goes to the landlord with the offer, without writing it at eleven at night.
Seven viewings blur into one by Sunday night. Your renter keeps each address, the asking price, their own photos and a note dictated while it is fresh.
Deposit receipt, bank draft, insurance, utility accounts. The post offer paperwork has its own group so nothing slips after the yes.
An email the second a document arrives. No refreshing, no wondering, no asking “did you send it?”
Documents are encrypted at rest, scoped to your business, and never sit in a chat thread on someone’s phone. A renter can open what they sent until you mark it complete, and then it locks.
Set the renewal date once. Foyer nudges you at three, two and one month out so the renewal conversation is never late.
Your logo and colours on the portal your renters use. It looks like your business, because it is.
Agents ask us before they sign up, and their renters ask them. Here is the answer, and every word of it is something you can check.
Every document, application and message lives on Canadian servers in Montréal, encrypted, and is not stored anywhere else.
The database itself walls each brokerage off. Your clients, your documents and your messages are unreachable from any other account, and inside your team each member sees only the files assigned or shared to them.
Client information belongs to the subscriber who collected it. We do not sell it, advertise with it, build profiles from it or give another agent access to it. It is written into the terms you sign, not only here.
You and your renter both see who opened which document, when, including any access by Foyer itself. A renter can check for themselves that their file was not passed around.
Every plan includes a two month free trial. No credit card required.
They set a password once from your share link, and that is it. No app to install, no training. Most renters finish their first upload in a few minutes on their phone.
That is what most people do. Foyer converts phone photos into clean PDFs, named to match the document you asked for, so what reaches the landlord looks professional.
Yes. The default rental checklist covers ID, income, credit and references, and you can add, remove or rename items, or build your own list for a specific landlord.
Documents are encrypted at rest, every record is scoped to your business, and access is controlled per user. It is a considerable step up from a document sitting in a group chat.
Under ten minutes. Create your account, add your logo, copy your share link. Your next applicant can use it the same day.
No. It belongs to you, it stays in Canada, no other agent or brokerage can reach it, and every open of a file is recorded where you and your renter can both see it. The security page spells out each provider we use and what it sees. Foyer’s own administrator cannot open a file unless you turn on support access for it, for a few days, and every open in that time shows in the log. No one else at Foyer, and no agent at Royal Merit Realty, can.
Start the trial and send your link to the next applicant. If it does not save you a single evening in the first month, walk away.
