Checks, offers and hearing back
Updated 13 Nov 2026
When an owner asks to run a check, what they see, how offers work, and what happens if you're unsuccessful.
Checks
An owner may ask your consent to run a check, like an identity or tenancy database check. Nothing is checked without your agreement. Before you answer, Leasii shows what's checked, who runs it, what the owner sees (never a score or a pass or fail), how long it's kept and what happens if you say no. Checks cost you nothing: the owner pays.
If you say no, the check doesn't run and the owner is told. Only checks your state's rules allow are offered to owners in Leasii. You can see what you agreed to, and withdraw a consent while the check is still waiting, in Settings › Privacy.
Offers
If the owner offers you the home, the offer shows on your application with the rent, dates, bond and any holding deposit. The main applicant chooses Accept the offer or Decline. Neither can be undone. Accepting isn't signing: the lease comes next.
If you're unsuccessful
You'll be told by email and on your application, including if an owner takes back an offer. An owner keeps their own record of why they chose; they don't have to share it, but they can send you a message with a reason, which shows on your application. You can ask the owner a question about the decision from your application while it's still there.
Your application details, including copies of your documents, are deleted after the time your state's privacy rules allow, unless you agreed to them being kept for other homes. Your renter profile is yours and isn't affected.
General guidance, not legal advice. For advice about your situation, contact your state's tenancy authority or a lawyer.
