# How to invite an applicant

## Share a unit invite link or send an invitation from Burnt to start an application.

Applicants begin by opening the invite link for a unit. You can share the link directly, or send it from within Burnt.

**Option 1: Share the invite link**

1. Open the unit you are filling.
2. Copy the invite link. See *Generating and sharing the invite link*.
3. Send the link to the prospective renter by your own email or messaging.

Anyone who opens the link starts an application for that unit.

**Option 2: Send an invite from Burnt**

1. Open the unit.
2. Select `[Invite applicant]`.
3. Enter the applicant name and email `[confirm required fields]`.
4. Send the invite. The applicant receives a message with a link to begin.

**Inviting more than one person**

**![](https://help.burnt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-4.png?width=3146&height=2230&name=image-png-4.png)**

A single application can include more than one person. When you invite, or when the applicant applies, you can add a co-applicant, co-tenant, co-signer, or guarantor. Each person completes their own verification steps. See *Inviting co-applicants, co-tenants, co-signers, and guarantors*.

**After the invite**

You can track progress from the unit or from your dashboard. You will be able to see when each person has started and completed their steps. To review results, see *How to read a screening report*.
