Unexpected locked accounts and slow support response
I went through the process of adding my property, creating a new lease for a tenant, and setting up payments for my tenant. However, the next day they unexpectedly locked my account without notice of any kind (no email, no text, nothing). Had to call them to find out why. They claimed they needed to verify identify and property ownership and had to escalate the ticket to a verification process that I was told would take 72 hours! On top of if, my tenant was unable to make a payment while all of this was happening, even though they assured me that would not be the case. In short, @Avail, if you're going to require this kind of verification, do it at account creation and not behind my back the next day! My tenant was the one who told me she could not pay; embarrassing. Also, they really need help when it comes to this verification; there is no reason that it should take 72 hours when proof is sent almost immediately.

Hi Nelson, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We am sincerely sorry for the delay, the frustration, and the awkward situation this caused between you and your tenant. Being locked out without immediate clarity is incredibly frustrating—especially when you are trying to finalize a lease and collect payments. We are glad to share that our team has finished reviewing your information, and your account and listing are now fully verified and published. You and your tenant are all set to move forward with payments. While we always aim for a seamless onboarding experience, rigorous identity and property verification checks are an essential part of keeping Avail safe for all landlords and tenants. Protecting our community from fraud is a top priority, though we certainly recognize that our communication and timeline during this process could have been handled much better in your case. We are taking your feedback to heart to make these transitions smoother and more transparent in the future. Thank you so much for your patience while we worked through this verification. If you or your tenant need any assistance moving forward, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.
