Paste a Redfin rental link and AcrossTown saves the unit with its monthly rent, photos, and the building’s permits. Saved searches in Renting check for-rent listings daily and filter by rent, so new places show up on their own.
Search nearby rentals and AcrossTown selects the closest matches by size, bedrooms, bathrooms, distance, and days listed. The estimate is the median rent per square foot of your selection times the unit’s size. Change the selection to refine it.
Add up what’s due at signing and each month, and check the deposit against California’s cap: one month’s rent, or two from a small landlord. Add your income to see the rent-to-income ratio landlords will look at.
Screen rent control and just-cause eviction coverage from the year built and number of units, see the largest allowed increase next year, and check eviction notices and buyouts on the block. (San Francisco.) General guidance, not legal advice.
Estimate commutes to the places you go, nearby activity, and sunlight, and check the building’s flood, fire, and earthquake zones on the map. Track each application’s status, dates, fees, and documents in one place.
Upload the lease and AcrossTown reads its terms and clauses, then lists what to ask about before you sign, such as a deposit over the legal cap or a fee that isn’t allowed. At move-in, photograph each room with notes, and at move-out do it again. The record shows the date your landlord must return the deposit, with any deductions itemized. (California rules.) General guidance, not legal advice.
Compare your net worth each year renting this place against buying a home, assuming you invest the down payment and any monthly savings. Pick a home you’re looking at in Buying mode and its costs are used directly.
Ask about the unit, the building, or the neighborhood, and AcrossTown sends your question with the listing and permits attached, through your own Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT account or the AI credits included in your plan. Ask up to four models at once, see the cost first, and send the answer to your phone or a Slack thread before the showing.
