Contact a host, apply, and withdraw an application

Stage 1: contact

Tap Contact on a listing card or Contact Landlord on the property page. This opens a conversation tied to that listing: the header pins the property photo, title, rent, and status badge (Available, Reserved, Rented). The host gets a connection request under Manage, Requests and accepts it to reply. You can contact several hosts; each listing gets its own chat.

Stage 2: ask and view

Use the chat for everything informal: utilities, heating bill, neighbours, pets, deposit. The header also offers Schedule a Viewing when the host has published availability; see Schedule and manage viewings. Most decisions are made here, before any paperwork.

Stage 3: apply

When you are ready, tap Apply for Apartment (or Apply for Room) in the chat header and confirm. There is no form to fill in at that moment: the host receives your Renter profile, your verification status, and the answers from your application template. The button changes to Application Pending and a status card appears in the chat. Set up the template once in Profile, My Hub, Application Templates: a message to the host, About Me, Employment, and Additional Notes, and it is reused for every application.

Stage 4: accepted

When the host accepts, you get a notification, the chat shows a card, and the header button becomes Track Application. From here on the formal steps (contract, signing, payment, move-in) happen on the Track Application page; see Track your application from accepted to move-in. If the host rejects, the chat shows that too and the listing stays open for others.

Withdrawing

Tap Application Pending in the header and choose Withdraw application. The host is notified. You can apply again later if things change.

Squads

A Squad applies as one team from the squad page after a property vote; see Apply as a Squad and track the application.

Speed matters

Good listings in Vinohrady, Karlín, or Letná get dozens of enquiries on day one. A complete profile, a filled-in template, and a message within hours beats a perfect message three days later.
