On-Site.com is a patented online lease management software system[1] that minimizes or replaces traditional paper-based functions while ensuring compliance with laws pertaining to fair housing, resident screening, credit reporting and lease contract forms.

Company History

1999: Tom Harrington, apartment community owner & entrepreneur, realized there was little to no available technology and limited visibility over what was happening at his communities. Jake Harrington, “Internet Generation”, brought an engineer’s approach in order to achieve simplification via technology.

2000: Summer 2000, Jake and two classmates from Duke University begin software development from an apartment in Los Altos, CA. Develop auto-form filling technology and call the new company Forms Dash. In July, Forms Dash prints first lease for the Greenery Apartments in Campbell, CA.

Scott Jones, Stanford M.A. in Computer Science pioneered technology as the site’s architect. Forms Dash becomes On-Site Manager Inc, after the job position it automates. December 2000, Via Reggio Apartments San Jose, CA becomes first paying customer.

2001: On-Site Manager Inc subscribes to the credit bureau Equifax, adding credit screening to its auto-form filling technology. The auto-form filling and credit screening services get a new name – Rental Express.

2002: Eviction & criminal searches and verification of employment, rental & banking history are added to the Rental Express service. Customizable lease documents are introduced, which creates one of the most comprehensive resident screening services in the industry.

2003: Regional offices are opened in Seattle, San Diego, and New York City.

2005-06: Opens new regional office in Los Angeles. On-Site Manager Inc. becomes On-Site.com. RentNow, a resident screening service designed to meet needs of private landlords, goes live on On-Site.com leading to a record 1000 applicant processed in a single day in May 2006 (doubling in less than a year). Nov 2006, On-Site is featured in The New York Times article [2]

2007: Regional offices added in Phoenix, Chicago, and Atlantic City. On-Site acquires Need 2 Know Reporting and RentQuest. RentQuest becomes the Washington satellite office. On-Site partners with RentBureau to add rental payment data to resident screening reports.

2008: The Main office relocates to Mountain View, CA. On-Site acquires apartment listing site Rent Spider. Rent Spider becomes On-Site marketing suite, which helps apartment managers promote their communities and drive traffic. May 2008, On-Site is awarded patent 7.376,619 (insert pic) for its screening and forms automation technology. The patent took 7 years to be approved.

2009: E-Sign (e-signature) is introduced, ultimately allowing real signatures to be captured and imprinted on lease documents. Regional office opened in Denver and Atlanta. Offices are relocated to Campbell, CA in what was once the Sunsweet processing plant.

Business model

On-Site.com positions itself as a web application that assists both resident applicants and multi-family residential communities to efficiently move through the stages of leasing a rental property online.

In a typical example of the online process flow, a resident fills out an online application to rent; the data on the form is immediately submitted to return a credit report;[3] the report and a recommendation to rent based on income requirements is submitted back to the leasing agent; if the decision is made to rent, a lease contract is dynamically generated from the resident and property data, and the resident and the agent close the contract using electronic signatures.[4] The complete process can take place online[5] from diverse remote locations.

In contrast to traditional in-office leasing procedures, the system is designed to eliminate subjective discriminatory practices while automatically enforcing legal compliance with credit and housing laws and reducing or removing the industry's historical reliance[6] on paper-based documents.
