Licensed markets only. Placement and full-management fees are offered where KAYA is licensed as, or partners with, a broker of record. Everywhere else KAYA runs software-only and you self-manage with the tools below. We never charge a regulated fee in a market where we aren't licensed to charge it.

Screening

About $39 per applicant, reusable across applications with a Renter Passport. Subject to state fee caps.
