Flex Move-in helps you handle upfront move-in costs—like security deposits, prorated rent, pet fees, and administrative charges—through one simple digital checkout. Instead of paying everything at once, you can choose the option that fits your budget: pay in full or pay over time (based on eligibility). 

Move-in is available to renters 18 years of age or older at participating properties. Your available payment options depend on factors like your credit report, banking details, and payment history. You’ll also need an active U.S. debit card to complete your payment.

Flex Move-in is designed to make move-in costs feel more manageable, giving you flexibility in how and when you pay!

Move-in payment options

Pay in full

Pay in full means you cover your entire move-in cost upfront in one payment, which includes any fees set by your property and a 1% bill payment fee. Flex Move-in sends the payment directly to your property on your behalf, so you don’t have to deal with paper checks, bank visits, or any extra steps.

Pay over time

If you qualify for pay over time, you can split your move-in costs over 3 or 6 monthly payments, depending on factors like your credit report, banking details, and payment history. You’ll make an initial payment at checkout to confirm your plan, and Flex will send the full amount to your property while you repay the remaining balance through monthly installments in the Flex app. You’ll also pay a 1% bill payment fee plus a flat plan fee based on your repayment term.

Eligibility

Pay over time is offered only to new Flex customers in eligible states who don’t have an active or previous Flex Rent line of credit. To qualify, you’ll need to meet Flex’s eligibility criteria, which can include an income review, account history, identity verification, and a soft credit check.

If you already use Flex Rent or don’t qualify for pay over time, you may still be eligible for pay in full. Both pay in full and pay over time work the same way in that Flex sends your move-in payment directly to your property, so you don’t have to handle checks or manual payments yourself.

Flex Move-in is available only at participating properties, so if you’re unsure whether your property supports it, check with your property manager.

Is Flex Move-in available outside the U.S.?

Not yet. Move-in is currently available only within the U.S. in eligible states, but we hope to expand in the future.
