Rent Butter Joins ManageAmerica's PartnerMarketplace Bringing Advanced Resident Screening to Manufactured Housing Operators
PR Newswire
CHICAGO and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22, 2026
Rent Butter's identity, financial, background and fraud verification data now integrates directly into ManageAmerica's comprehensive reservation and lease management process, helping operators reduce fraud and risk.
CHICAGO and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rent Butter, the advanced tenant screening and verification platform for workforce housing property managers, today announced a strategic partnership with ManageAmerica, the leading and only property management platform made 100% for the complexities of manufactured housing. Under the partnership, Rent Butter's application and screening data integrated directly into ManageAmerica's reservation and lease workflows so operators can ensure a seamless experience. This partnership empowers community operators with better screening data and insight.
Manufactured housing operators face screening challenges that generic multifamily tools were never designed for. Applicants often have thin or non-traditional credit files, income arrives from multiple sources, and home purchases and site leases move through different workflows. Legacy screening tools respond with slow, credit-only reports that miss fraud and screen out qualified residents for the wrong reasons. Rent Butter + ManageAmerica closes that gap.
Each screening & verification combines Rent Butter's five core modules into a single workflow:
Compounding Fraud Protection - layered identity, behavioral, device and financial fraud signals working together.
Identity Verification - document validation with real-time face verification.
Income Verification – verify employment & income while also protecting against fraud.
Financial Assessment - predictive credit behavior analytics that look beyond the credit score.
Background / Criminal Checks - nationwide multi-source criminal and eviction search with jurisdiction-aware results.
Together, these 5 core modules give operators decisions they can defend, document and stand behind.
"Manufactured housing operators have told us the same thing for years: they want to say yes to more qualified residents, but they need the full picture to do it with confidence," said Christopher Rankin, Chief Executive Officer of Rent Butter. "Four of the ten largest manufactured housing operators in the country already screen with Rent Butter. Bringing that same verification directly into ManageAmerica means every community on the platform can move from uncertainty to a confident leasing decision in minutes, without adding another login or another manual step."
"Manufactured housing communities need screening insight that keeps pace with an efficient reservation and leasing process," said Michelle Shanholtz, Chief Product Officer at ManageAmerica. "Rent Butter is now a screening partner in our marketplace with a seamless integration giving operators a streamlined path to move-in.
Rent Butter data studies show operators using the platform have seen an 11-point increase in collection rates and a 36 percent drop in default rates, alongside 67 percent fewer non-paying tenant placements. With the average cost of a bad tenant exceeding $7,200, the partnership is designed to protect community investments while improving the applicant experience.
Rent Butter + ManageAmerica is available now to ManageAmerica customers. Operators can learn more or request a demo at www.rentbutter.com or by contacting their ManageAmerica representative.
