What you can do in AptBook on the web

1

Sixty-second tour capture

Nickname, source, quoted rent, deposit, lease term, beds, baths, square feet and the move-in special — with the true monthly number updating as you type.

2

True-monthly-cost engine

Advertised rent + mandatory monthly fees + one-time charges ÷ lease term − the move-in special ÷ lease term, with a delta badge against the advertised rent.

3

Ten-point tour checklist

Cell signal, water pressure, noise, outlets, light, laundry, storage, smell, parking and commute — answered fine, flagged or unchecked, each with a note.

4

Weighted compare board

Finalists ranked 0–100 on a weighted blend of cost, location, condition and amenities, with true monthly, price per square foot and flag counts side by side.

5

Application fee ledger

Every $30–$75 application and admin charge with its building, date and status, plus a running total and fees-per-week chart so the cost of the search stays visible.

6

Shareable comparison sheet

Copy the ranked sheet as text or download it as CSV to send to a partner or co-signer before anyone signs.
