Frequently asked questions
Avail scores D on the API Report Card. No public API. Avail, a Realtor.com subsidiary, publishes no developer portal, REST API, OAuth program, or webhooks. Its only external connections are outbound listing syndication and internal vendor links for screening and payments, so landlord data has no programmatic egress.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Avail is an all-in-one DIY landlord platform that lets independent landlords list rentals, screen tenants, sign state-specific leases, collect rent online, and track maintenance and accounting.
Real Estate, specifically DIY/independent landlords and small portfolio owners (typically 1–20 units), which the company and Move, Inc. estimate own and manage roughly three-quarters of all U.S. rental housing. Landlords create units, post listings that syndicate to Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Zumper, Redfin, and other partner sites, screen applicants via TransUnion (credit, criminal, eviction, income insights), generate state- and city-specific lease agreements with e-signature, collect rent via ACH or card with autopay, manage maintenance requests with cost tracking, and run basic property-level accounting with CSV export.
High in the DIY landlord segment. Avail reports 1M+ landlords on the platform and is consistently cited alongside TurboTenant, Stessa, TenantCloud, RentRedi, Innago, and Hemlane as one of the top DIY landlord tools.
Avail is the system of record for the entire rental lifecycle of 1M+ DIY landlords: rental listings and photos syndicated to Realtor.com and 19+ partner sites, inbound prospect inquiries and lead pipeline, online rental applications with applicant-supplied identity and income data, TransUnion screening reports (credit, criminal, eviction, income insights), executed state-specific lease agreements with e-signature audit trails, recurring ACH/card rent payment ledgers and tenant balances, FastPay deposit records, maintenance requests with vendor cost tracking, and property-level income/expense accounting that flows into year-end tax exports.
Mature for the DIY segment. Avail launched in 2012, scaled to hundreds of thousands of landlords pre-acquisition, and was bought by Move, Inc./Realtor.com in December 2020.
No developer-facing API exists, Avail provides no documented REST, OAuth, or webhook surface, leaving landlords with no programmatic path to read or write their own listings, applications, leases, payments, or maintenance data. Stessa users have an open community wishlist for an Avail integration because there is no sanctioned way to pipe Avail rent collection and accounting data into other landlord financial tools. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include TurboTenant, TenantCloud, Stessa, Innago, RentRedi, Hemlane. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Avail API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Avail data. See the Avail integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/avail-api.
