# Overview

The Renter Portal is where you apply for a home and follow your application. It carries you from finding a place to getting a decision.

## Who uses it

People applying for a home — applicants. You reach the portal after you start an application from a property listing.

## What you can do

- **Find a home** — browse and apply. See [Marketplace](/books/renter-portal/page/marketplace).
- **Pre-qualify** — answer the property's questionnaire. See [The Questionnaire](/books/renter-portal/page/the-questionnaire).
- **Apply and get screened** — send your application and pass a background check. See [Background Check](/books/renter-portal/page/background-check).
- **Track everything** — follow your applications in one place. See [Renter Dashboard](/books/renter-portal/page/renter-dashboard).
