4. The Sweetheart Letter

When several people want the same place, the landlord often picks the ones they feel they know. The Letter tab collects what your agent needs to write a short letter about you, in your words, that goes with the offer.

1. Start with the photo: one picture of everyone applying, or of you doing something you enjoy. JPG or PNG, up to 8 MB. Press Choose a photo.
2. Then the seven questions: what excites you about the area, who is moving with you, your work and what motivates you in it, community activities, a recent life event behind the move, your interests, and what you are looking for in a home.
3. Point form is fine. Answer the ones that apply to you and skip the rest. Everything saves as you type; the line under the title counts your answers.
4. Rather not type? Under each box is Dictate your answer. Press it, say your answer, and the words are added to the end of the box, where you can fix them. Nothing is recorded; only the words are kept. It works in the app and in most browsers; a browser that cannot listen shows the button greyed.
5. When you are happy with them, press "These are ready". Your agent is told, and they do the long-form writing. You can still change an answer afterwards.
