You found a place you love. So did twenty other people. You fill out the same form they do.
The landlord flips through identical applications and picks one.

It wasn't you. Not because you weren't qualified. Because nothing made you stand out.

The Rental Resume

Almost Nobody Does This

A professional document that elevates your application and makes landlords see you as a person they want to rent to.

"Renters lose apartments they should have gotten, not on credit or income, but because nothing set them apart. That's the reason I built the Rental Resume."

About Matthew Hoult

I amMatthew
Hoult

I represent people making serious Los Angeles real estate decisions: sellers protecting value, buyers choosing carefully, families relocating, and renters preparing for what comes next.

My work is strategy first. Sellers need pricing, presentation, timing, and negotiation that make the market compete for the property. Buyers need clear judgment, early signal, and the confidence to move when the right home appears. Relocation clients need someone who can translate Los Angeles quickly: neighborhoods, lifestyle, commute, schools, privacy, and long-term fit.

Leasing is part of that relationship, not the limit of it. I take it seriously because small moves become large ones, and because every client deserves direct advice, discretion, preparation, and follow-through from the person representing them.

Common Questions

Questions We Hear Before Every Lease

What's a Rental Resume?

A Rental Resume is a professional document that elevates your standard rental application. It presents your background, lifestyle, employment, financial situation, and references in a polished format designed to help landlords see you as a person, not just another form.

Do landlords actually look at these?

Yes. Landlords reviewing 20 - 50 applications per listing are looking for reasons to pick one applicant over another. A Rental Resume gives them that reason. It's the difference between being a name on a form and being a person they feel confident renting to.

Can I just make this myself?

The AI builder knows exactly what landlords look for, asks the right questions in the right order, scores your Rental Resume on 6 criteria, and formats everything professionally in about 15 minutes. Most people who try to build one from scratch either miss key sections or spend hours on formatting.

How long does it take?

About 15 - 20 minutes. The AI guides you through each section with specific questions. You answer naturally, and it builds the document for you.

Is my information secure?

Your data is processed securely and never shared with third parties. Payment is handled through Stripe, which is PCI-compliant and supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. Your information is used solely to build your Rental Resume.

What if I don't get the apartment?

Your Rental Resume works for every application you submit, not just one, but it cannot guarantee approval for a specific apartment. Refunds are not based on rental outcomes or subjective advantage; they are limited to verified access or missing-deliverable issues reported within 30 days that MHE cannot fix.

Does this work for all types of rentals?

Yes. The Rental Resume Builder works for apartments, houses, condos, and townhomes. It's particularly effective in competitive markets like Los Angeles where landlords are choosing between many qualified applicants.

How much does all of this cost?

The LA Rental Resume Builder is $39 on its own. The Rental Bundle is $49 and includes the Rental Resume Builder, LA Move-In Checklist, privacy checklist, worksheets, scripts, and start-here guide. The Complete Rental Package is $199 and includes the Rental Bundle plus a guided intake that structures your criteria, alerts, and applications from day one. Representation is not included unless a separate agreement is signed.

Do I need to hire an agent just to rent an apartment?

You don't need to, but it changes the outcome. Standard tenant representation in California can be commission-based, paid by the landlord or by the tenant depending on the listing and any signed agreement. If we discuss a paid arrangement, all fees are disclosed in writing before you sign anything. You get professional representation, access to off-market listings, lease review, and negotiation support.

Your Next Application Could Be Different

Every apartment you apply to without a Rental Resume is one where you look exactly like every other applicant.

Rental Resume + Move-In Checklist + start-here guides, one price.
