TenantEvaluation alternatives for HOA & condo applications
By Dommek ยท Updated
The main alternatives to TenantEvaluation are Dommek, an applicant-paid application platform with built-in estoppel letters that is free for management companies, and Screening Link, an applicant-paid screening agency with an online portal. The leasing and screening modules in Buildium, AppFolio and Yardi Breeze also work for management companies that already use those suites.
Why teams look for alternatives
Management companies usually compare options when they want to keep an existing screening provider, need estoppel letters handled in the same place as applications, want a different fee arrangement, or would rather consolidate into the management suite they already pay for.
Alternatives compared
Each option below is described from its public website as of September 2026.
| Alternative | Best for | Who pays | Screening | Estoppel letters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dommek | Free online intake, payments and estoppels across many associations | Applicants | Management company's provider | Built in |
| Screening Link | Applicant-paid screening with electronic board review | Applicants | Built in | Not listed |
| Buildium | Teams already on Buildium | Subscription plus per-report fees | Built in | Via HomeWiseDocs |
| AppFolio | Teams already on AppFolio | Subscription | Built in (FolioScreen) | Not listed |
| Yardi Breeze | Teams already on Yardi Breeze | Subscription | Not listed on association pages | Not listed |
Dommek
Dommek is the closest alternative for management companies that want applicant-paid online applications without adopting a new screening vendor. Applicants search by address, complete the purchase or lease application, e-sign, upload documents and pay; Dommek splits the fees automatically and issues estoppel letters in the same system. It serves 170+ Florida associations and has processed 2,800+ applications.
Screening Link
Screening Link, based in Davie, Florida, is a consumer reporting agency with an online portal for condominium and HOA applications. Applicants pay the screening fee, and boards review and approve electronically at no cost to the association.
Management suites
Buildium, AppFolio and Yardi Breeze include tenant screening designed around rental leasing. They are a reasonable choice when the management company already runs its accounting in one of them, though association purchase approvals and estoppels may need a partner or separate tool.
