Apartment List Powers Bilt's New Rent a Home Offering to Bring Personalized Apartment Matching and New Lease Rewards to Millions of Renters Nationwide

Bilt's Rent a Home, powered by Apartment List, is now live for Bilt's 8 million+ members nationwide who can earn rewards for signing a lease, coinciding with the launch of Bilt Neighborhood OS

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apartment List announced its partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, to launch Bilt's Rent a Home, powered by Apartment List, now live in the Bilt platform. The offering brings Apartment List's proprietary AI matching to Bilt's 8 million+ members, with an apartment search that learns what matters to them, finds homes that fit and rewards them for signing, connecting personalized apartment discovery with new lease benefits. It also enables property managers to retarget residents planning a move with relevant listings from across their portfolio to drive retention.

For renters: Find the right home and earn rewards for the move

When a Bilt Member is ready to move, whether to a new city or a bigger place, Rent a Home meets them with listings and offers tailored to their needs. Apartment List's proprietary AI matching learns each renter's preferences to help them find the right fit, drawing on 12 million leases with known outcomes and 65 million conversations between renters and properties.

Members can earn 20,000 Bilt Points, the industry's most valuable rewards currency, upon signing a lease through Rent a Home, then redeem those points toward rent payments, student loans or everyday spending, including dining, parking, home delivery, and more through Bilt's neighborhood network of 50,000+ merchant partners.

The experience continues after members find their next home. Through Bilt Neighborhood OS™, an AI platform that helps businesses grow through the neighborhood by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhoods, housing operators can unify the entire resident experience from discovery to renewal, in and around their home. Integrated with the property management systems and tools operators already use, Neighborhood OS connects apartment discovery with:

• Leasing: Applications, personalized offers, lease generation and signing
• Move-in: Checklists that help residents get settled
• Everyday living: Rent payments and rewards, service requests, amenity bookings and packages
• Renewal: Offers that give residents more reasons to stay and relevant listings through Rent a Home for those planning to move
• Neighborhood engagement: Exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™ across Bilt's 50,000+ neighborhood merchant partners, including sports teams, restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, parking garages, and more

Residents and property managers can take any action with a tap or ask their AI agents to handle it for them: from generating a lease and submitting a maintenance request to booking dinner nearby.

"Choosing a home is also choosing a neighborhood, the places you'll shop, the restaurants you'll dine at and the routines you'll build," said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. "Rent a Home is where that relationship begins, and with Apartment List knowing what makes a home the right fit, Bilt Neighborhood OS connects it with everything that follows, helping residents settle in, manage their home and become part of the neighborhood, while giving property managers more reasons for residents to renew year after year."

For operators and leasing teams: List once, reach millions and turn move-outs into new leases

Every property listed on Apartment List is included in Rent a Home, with Bilt Alliance properties receiving preferred placement in search. The partnership extends operators' reach to Bilt Members, using Apartment List's proprietary AI matching to connect properties with renters whose preferences fit their communities.

The partnership also creates an opportunity for Bilt Alliance operators to retain residents within their portfolios as housing needs change. Whether a resident needs more space or a different neighborhood, Rent a Home, powered by Apartment List, surfaces relevant listings and personalized offers at sister communities, helping turn a move-out at one property into a new lease at another.

Bilt's proprietary data shows that half of members who move stay within five miles of their previous home, which makes the next lease as much a neighborhood decision as a housing one.

"Bilt rewards renters for how they live, and Apartment List helps them decide where to live. Bringing our matching intelligence to Bilt members right when they're planning a move gives renters a search that actually understands them and gives our property partners a direct line to some of the most engaged renters in the market," said Matthew Woods, CEO of Apartment List.

Rent a Home builds on Bilt's Buy a Home offering, launched in 2024, expanding the ways Bilt helps members find and earn rewards on their next home.
