Final Verdict: Which one is better?

In the ever-evolving world of real estate, both renters and landlords are constantly seeking ways to streamline their interactions and simplify the process of renting properties. Avail’s screening services (owned by Realtor.com) come with a full application process and reports. The main downside is that their high pricing can deter applicants—especially when many other landlords use more affordable screening services.
