Questions.
What is RentMaxxer?
RentMaxxer puts every open affordable-housing listing in one place and shows which ones you likely qualify for. Autopilot can then file the lotteries for you. We are not a government agency: the agencies decide who qualifies.
Does it cost anything?
Browsing and up to 3 applications are free. Self-Apply is $12/month or $99/year; Autopilot is $29/month or $149/year, both with the first 7 days free. Applying on the official sites is always free.
What does Autopilot do?
Once you turn it on and accept its terms, it files portal lotteries and waitlists you qualify for in your own accounts across every supported city, and sends a weekly or monthly report. Paper applications are rolling out next.
Do you need my password?
You link your own accounts on the official sites. We store those logins encrypted and use them only to sign in to your own account. You can unlink any time. We never create accounts for you.
Will I win?
We can't promise that. Each lottery is still about 1 in 600 (NYU Furman Center). Autopilot raises your chances by entering every lottery you qualify for.
What is the difference between a lottery, first-come and a waitlist?
Lottery: a drawing after a deadline. Speed does not matter. First-come: a vacancy now, handled in the order applications arrive. Speed matters. It is not the first person online. Waitlist: you join a list and wait.
What happens to my personal information?
Autopilot asks for your name, date of birth, contact details, income and savings. We encrypt the most sensitive items. Your Social Security number is optional. We do not sell your information. Privacy policy.
