Rental Beast Pro: Free Access for RSC Subscribers

General Information, How to Opt-In, and Frequently Asked Questions

Purpose:

Provide detailed information about the Rental Beast Pro free access program offered by Rental Beast and RSC.

Introduction:

To help RSC subscribers easily see the difference between core rental functions available as part of their RSC subscriptions and additional features available by purchasing a premium subscription from Rental Beast, RSC and Rental Beast are offering all RSC subscribers free access to a Rental Beast Pro premium subscription.

Details at a Glance:

General Description: All RSC subscribers have the option to upgrade to Rental Beast Pro, the premium platform ordinarily available only as a paid service from Rental Beast, at no additional cost.

Free trial period: This program is available to all RSC subscribers on an opt-in basis throughout 2023 (from now through December 31st, 2023).

How it Works:

This is a free trial—it’s important for you to know that when the trial period ends on January 1st, 2024, your Rental Beast Pro subscription will continue at the rate of $189 per quarter unless you elect not to extend your Rental Beast Pro subscription or renew with monthly, annual, or two-year payment terms. A payment method is required to enroll in the program, but no credit card authorization will be made in the course of opting in, and no RSC subscribers will be charged until the program ends in early 2024.

At the end of the free trial:

If, after opting into the Rental Beast Pro free access offer,  you choose not to extend your Rental Beast Pro subscription, your Rental Beast account will automatically revert to Rental Beast Gateway, where core rental functions are provided as a part of your MLS subscription.

As we near the end of 2023, both Rental Beast and RSC will proactively reach out to all Rental Beast Pro users to make sure their choice to continue, not continue, or renew under a different payment term is recorded. It’s important that you inform us of your preference before the end of the free trial—otherwise, your subscription will automatically extend at the rate of $189 per quarter.

How to Opt-In:

  • Navigate to Rental Beast from your Member Portal:
  • Once within Rental Beast Gateway, choose "Opt-In Now" in the window that appears on your page:

Option #1 - Click "Opt-In Now" on the Free Access Pop-Up:

  • You'll be directed to Rental Beast's subscription and payment page, where you'll be offered a $0 free trial through the end of the year.
  • Depending on your internet speed, the pricing on this page may take a few seconds to load.
  • If you don't see the $0 cost option, please start chat with a support representative or email grow@rentalbeast.com for assistance.
  1. Click “Buy Now” and enter a method of payment. A payment method, such as a valid credit card, is required in order to activate your Rental Beast Pro account. You will not be charged at this point, nor will you be charged during the free trial period. At the end of the free trial, you can choose not to continue your paid Rental Beast Pro subscription, continue your paid subscription under a different payment plan, including options with monthly, annual, or two-year terms, or to continue your subscription with the default quarterly payment plan.
  2. That's it! At this point, your Rental Beast account is now upgraded Rental Beast Pro, and you will be directed to a short setup wizard, including choosing the ZIP codes from which you elect to receive rental leads sourced from non-RSC listings. As you complete the setup process, your dedicated Client Success Specialist will reach out to introduce themselves and offer assistance.

Q: What rental functions are already included with my RSC subscription?

A: Rental Beast Gateway: provided as a subscriber benefit and seamlessly integrated with RSC's MLS services platform via a secure SSO, Rental Beast systems drive all core residential rental functions, including listing ingestion, editing, and maintenance, with features designed to make it easier for property managers to list properties, increase exposure, and generate rental leads.

Q: What happens if I don't opt into the free trial?

Q: Why is a payment method required for the free trial?

A: When you opt in to the program, you are enrolling in a Rental Beast paid subscription product. While you will not be charged for access throughout 2023, Rental Beast's subscription management and credit card processing facility requires a method of payment in order to create  a subscription product account. Collecting a method of payment up front also assures that you can continue to use our paid subscription product without disruption in 2024.

Q: What happens after the free access program ends?

A: Unless you tell us otherwise, in early January 2024, your Rental Beast Pro subscription will automatically continue as a paid subscription at the rate of $189 per quarter. As we near the end of the 2023 calendar year, we’ll proactively reach out to you to make sure your renewal choice is captured.
