Ayillo Tenant Screening vs Housing.Cloud

Ayillo Tenant Screening is a screening workflow within property-management software for landlords and property managers. Before applications open, each property must publish screening criteria that include a credit floor, income multiple and criminal-history policy. Checks can cover credit reports and scores, eviction and civil-judgment history, criminal history where allowed, income verification and prior landlord references. Ayillo says criminal screening follows jurisdictional rules, including ban-the-box requirements. If a report contributes to a denial, the system prepares an adverse-action notice naming the screening company and explaining the applicant's dispute rights. The landlord or property manager who ran the check can see the underlying report; applicants receive a summary decision and, if adverse, the notice. Screening connects with applications, lease generation, e-signatures and renewals. The Core workspace costs $49 a month, billed monthly per workspace, and includes the first 5 units. New professional workspaces receive a 30-day free trial, which requires a payment card to start.

Housing.Cloud is a cloud-based student housing platform for colleges, universities, and their housing teams. It handles applications, room assignments, room selection, billing, communications, reporting, check-in, and resident self-service. Students can use the portal on desktop, tablet, or smartphone without installing an app. Roommate Finder uses habits, requirements, preferences, and profile filters, while visual floor plans show real-time room availability. Resident requests become trackable tasks assigned to staff and linked to student profiles; residents can follow status in the portal. The platform connects with Ellucian Banner, Ellucian Colleague, PeopleSoft, and Workday, plus access-control, facilities, and payment systems. SIS data can move by SFTP, direct database connection, or API, with SAML and OAuth authentication. A no-code report builder creates, shares, and schedules reports. Housing.Cloud says it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, stores student data in US data centers, and runs on AWS with up to 14 days of point-in-time recovery. Pricing is available on request.
