PATH GUIDES · CASH BACK

How cash back
works.

Find your apartment with Path. When the apartment pays us a referral commission, we give you almost all of it as cash back.

  1. APARTMENTSPay a referral commission.
  2. PATHGives you almost all of it.
  3. YOUGet cash back.

Once the apartment pays Path, we send you cash back.

The apartment pays. You benefit.

Apartments pay referral commissions for bringing them renters. When your apartment credits Path with your referral and pays us, we share that commission with you.

You find a place you love. The apartment gets a new resident. You get cash back after your move.

Path is free for renters.

The apartment pays the referral commission. Your rent, deposit and any apartment application fees are separate.

A real move. Real cash back.

A renter at The Monarch HALL Park in Frisco received $7,948 through Path.

CASH BACK PAID$7,948The Monarch HALL ParkFrisco, Texas · Completed payout

One completed payout. Your amount depends on the apartment and lease you choose.

Know your cash back in dollars.

Path shows cash-back estimates on eligible apartment listings, so you can compare places with the benefit in view.

The apartment’s referral commission and your lease details determine the amount. A listing’s “up to” figure is its upper estimate; your final cash back is confirmed for your lease.

From your move to your payment.

  1. List Path as your referral source.

    Tell the leasing team Path sent you, and put Path on your apartment application. See exactly what to do.

  2. Share your lease details.

    Once you’ve signed, open your Path dashboard to submit your lease details. We use them to verify your lease and move-in with the apartment.

  3. The apartment pays Path.

    After your move is verified, the apartment processes the referral commission. For new customers, Path sends your mailed check only after receiving that commission. Existing confirmed offers and commitments are preserved.

  4. You receive your cash back.

    Once the apartment pays Path, we send you cash back. You can follow the progress in your Path dashboard.

A few good questions.

Can I use the cash back for my deposit or moving costs?
Once you receive it, it’s yours to use. Cash back arrives after your move-in is verified and the apartment pays Path, so plan to cover any costs due before then separately.
How long does it take to get paid?
For new customers, Path sends a mailed check only after receiving the apartment’s qualifying commission and completing the required verification. Property processing times vary. Existing confirmed offers and commitments are preserved; contact the team if your earlier payment terms differ. Your dashboard shows your progress.
Does every apartment offer cash back?
Cash back depends on the apartment paying Path a referral commission. Look for the cash-back estimate on a listing, and ask the team if you’re unsure about a particular apartment.
Is cash back the same as a move-in special?
They are separate. An apartment’s move-in special comes from the apartment; Path’s cash back comes from the referral commission it pays us. Ask the team to confirm what applies to the apartment and lease you’re considering.
What if I already contacted or applied to the apartment?
Let the Path team know before counting on cash back. We’ll help check whether the apartment can credit your referral to Path. Read the referral questions.
