🏠 Zillow Rental Application Request Submitter

From Clearpath, creators of Zillow Bulk Search and Zillow ZIP Code Search. Find rentals, build your shortlist and send a request to apply.

Why choose this actor?

• Automate your request to apply. Provide a Zillow property ID or listing URL, your contact details and a message. The actor submits the rental request for that listing.
• Make every message your own. Use custom text or the built-in template. Add {name} to insert the applicant’s name automatically.
• Keep a record of each request. Get the property ID, applicant name and email, message, timestamp and success status in your dataset. Connect it to a search workflow, using one run for each selected rental.

Prepare your first rental request

Replace the example property ID and contact details with your own. Each run processes one rental listing.

{
  "zpid": 2069918407,
  "name": "Your Name",
  "email": "you@example.com",
  "phoneNumber": "+12025550123",
  "message": "Hi, I'd like to apply for this rental."
}

Open actor input to review your details and message before starting. Running the actor sends a real request to apply. It does not complete tenant screening or upload application documents. Listings that require a Zillow login are not supported; successful submission is not landlord approval.

Pricing

$0.25 per confirmed application request, with the same price on every Apify plan. Platform usage is included.

Confirmed-request charges	Price
1 request	$0.25
10 requests	$2.50
100 requests	$25.00

Failed requests, invalid input and test simulations do not incur the application-request charge. A confirmed request remains billable if saving its output subsequently fails. Check its outcome before starting a new run to avoid sending it again.

Quick start

Provide a property ID, your own contact details and a message:

{
  "zpid": 458222521,
  "name": "Your Name",
  "email": "you@example.com",
  "phoneNumber": "+12125551234",
  "message": "Hello, I'm interested in applying for this property. Please let me know the next steps. Thank you, {name}"
}

Replace the sample property and contact details before running. You can use propertyUrl instead of zpid. If both are supplied, the property ID takes priority. {name} is replaced with your supplied name.

Inputs

Field	Description
zpid	An 8–10 digit Zillow property ID. Required unless you provide propertyUrl.
propertyUrl	A Zillow listing URL, including supported apartment building URLs.
name	Your full name. Required.
email	Your email address. Required.
phoneNumber	US or Canada phone number in +1XXXXXXXXXX format. Required.
message	Optional message. The default asks how to apply without making claims about your income or credit history.

Output

A confirmed request returns:

{
  "zpid": 458222521,
  "propertyUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/458222521_zpid/",
  "applicantName": "Your Name",
  "applicantEmail": "you@example.com",
  "message": "Hello, I'm interested in applying for this property. Please let me know the next steps. Thank you, Your Name",
  "success": true,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-16T12:00:00+00:00"
}

success: true means Zillow confirmed the request, not that a landlord accepted your application. Rejected requests return success: false with an explanation. An uncertain result means a request may have reached Zillow even though completion could not be confirmed. Inspect the outcome before trying again.

The Actor checks the available run budget before sending. If a run is interrupted during submission, billing or output delivery, it stops for review instead of automatically repeating an uncertain action. A new run is a new request, so do not rerun blindly after an interruption.

Use with your workflow

Search for suitable rental properties, review the matches and call this Actor once per property you want to contact. Use accurate contact information and a message that reflects your circumstances.

Copy to your AI assistant

Use clearpath/zillow-rental-application-submitter on Apify to send one request to apply per run. This does not submit a completed rental application. Inputs: zpid (8–10 digit ID) or propertyUrl, name, email, phoneNumber (+1 followed by 10 digits), optional message with {name}. Pricing: $0.25 per confirmed request; platform usage included. Failed requests and simulations have no request charge. success=true confirms the request, not landlord acceptance. Do not automatically retry uncertain outcomes. Read results from the run's default dataset.
