At PadSplit, we understand that applying for a membership on our platform can be a big step. For many prospective members, the fear of losing the application fee if they don’t qualify has been a significant barrier to getting started. Good news, though: We’re here to change that!
Introducing the PadSplit member application refund policy!
This new policy ensures that if you don’t qualify for membership, your $19 application fee will be refunded. We’ve designed this update to give you peace of mind and make your journey to affordable housing as worry-free as possible.
Why this is a game-changer for our members
- No Financial Risk:
Your hard-earned money matters, and we don’t want uncertainty about qualifying to stop you from applying. Now, there’s no risk—if you don’t qualify, your application fee comes right back to you. - More Confidence to Apply:
Whether you’re uncertain about passing a background check or meeting other requirements, you can now apply with greater confidence, knowing there’s nothing to lose. - Reassurance and Transparency:
We’re committed to being transparent and fair. This policy reflects our dedication to building trust and helping our members feel supported throughout their application process.
How it works
Here’s how the refund process unfolds:
- Submit Your Application: Start your journey to becoming a PadSplit member by applying online.
- Application Review: If you meet the qualifications, you’re all set to access affordable housing through PadSplit.
- Refund Process: If your application doesn’t qualify, the $19 application fee will be refunded to your original payment method automatically in most cases.
Refund eligibility varies depending on the reason for disqualification. Here’s a quick look at the key scenarios:
| Reason for Disqualification | Refund Condition | Automatic? |
| Failed ID Verification (e.g., Lexis check) | Automatic refund upon failure | Yes |
| Failed Income Verification (low income) | Refund issued upon request | No |
| Background Check Pending (7+ days) | Automatic refund after 7 days | Yes |
What happens after a refund?
Even if your application doesn’t pass this time, your housing journey doesn’t end here!
- You can reapply at any time.
- In some cases, you’ll have the option to update your information or provide additional documentation for review.
