How do landlords sign up for Azibo?
Signing up for Azibo is quick, easy, and designed to get you up and running in minutes. Here’s how you can start managing your rental properties effortlessly:
Step 1: Create your free Azibo account
To create an account with Azibo, visit the Azibo homepage and click “Get started” or “Sign up.”
That takes you to the Azibo signup page, where you can complete the form with your name, phone number, email address, and password. Click ‘create my free landlord account’
Be sure to include a phone number where you can receive text messages, as this will be necessary to verify your account. Once you create your account, we’ll verify your phone number by sending you a verification code. After you verify your phone number, you’ll be redirected to sign in to your new Azibo account.
Step 2: Choose your Azibo services
Once you sign in, we’ll ask how many properties you own to provide a more customized onboarding experience.
Next, you’ll see a page featuring some of Azibo services that are available to landlords. Select all that apply to you. Don’t worry — all these features will be available to you later, too. You can set up additional services from your Azibo dashboard at any time.
Step 3: Set up online rent collection
Rent collection is always a great place to start in your new account. Once you choose “collect rent,” you’ll be directed to a new page with the three steps required to set up online rent collection.
First, click “Add property” to add your rental property to Azibo.
Step 3a: Add a property
Next, search or enter your property address, add the property type, the number of total units at that address, and the unit number you'd like to start collecting rent for. Click save property.
On the next screen, select the right property and unit, and click continue.
You'll then be prompted to enter how you'd like to manage the lease for this unit. Currently, we do not support creating leases within Azibo as we work on refining our process to bring you better tools. Click ‘skip lease set up’
*Note: You can add additional properties from the Properties page on your Azibo dashboard at any time.
Step 4: Create payment terms and add tenants
Now it’s time to add the payment terms you will use for your rental property and invite tenants.
On this screen, you’ll set up the payment terms for your lease. Here’s how to complete each section:
- Payment frequency:
- Select whether the lease is month-to-month or fixed term (6 months, yearly, 2 years).
- If choosing a fixed term, you can enable automatic renewal on a month-to-month basis after the term ends.
- Lease dates:
- Enter the start date of the lease.
- For fixed-term leases, enter the end date or select a preset duration (+6 months, +1 year, or +2 years).
- Rent details:
- Choose the rent due date (e.g., “1st of the month”).
- Input the monthly rent amount for this lease.
- Additional options:
- Toggle additional settings to match your lease terms:some text
- Late fees: Enable to apply penalties for late rent payments.
- Enable partial payments: Allow tenants to make partial rent payments if necessary.
- Security deposit: Turn on if collecting a deposit as part of the lease.
- Prorate first month’s rent: Enable if the first month’s rent is partial based on the move-in date.
- Prorate last month’s rent: Enable if the final month’s rent is prorated for a partial move-out month.
- Renters insurance:
- By default, tenants are notified that renters insurance is preferred.
- To require renters insurance, check the Insurance required for tenants box.
Pro Tip: Tenants can easily purchase renters insurance through their Azibo account.
6. Finalize setup:
- Review the information and click Continue to proceed.
Note: You can return to this screen to make edits at any time from your Azibo dashboard.
Step 5: Add tenant details
Next, you need to add tenants. Include their full name, contact information, email address, and phone number. An invite to pay rent on Azibo box is automatically checked. We have also included an example of the email that will be sent to your renters once invited if you receive any questions from them.
On this screen, you can add additional renters, although we currently only support rent collection from one renter account.
Once you hit continue, you can review and confirm that all details are correct. Click confirm and invite.
Step 6: Link a bank account
Next, link the bank account you will use for your rental property.
First, to securely link your existing bank to your Azibo account, answer a few questions about how you use this bank account for your rental business.
Next, fill in your personal information, including your full name, birthday, last four digits of your Social Security number, and primary address.
Then, go through the guided setup process to link your bank account. We partner with Plaid — the secure payments platform used by companies like Amazon, DocuSign, and Lyft — to protect your information.
Through Plaid, you can choose your bank and enter your bank credentials to link the account securely. Rest assured that this information will never be shared or sold.
Last but not least, make sure you provide a government-issued photo ID to verify your identity. This ensures you get paid your rental income.
Congratulations! You’re ready to go
You’ve successfully set up your Azibo account and can now start collecting rent online. You can also check your Azibo dashboard to track rent payment status, better understand your financial performance, carry out renter screening, collaborate with your team, and tag expenses to simplify tax prep.
