How to Set Up Automated Filter Deliveries & Checks with RentCheck & FilterTime

Keeping up with air filter changes has never been easier! Our partnership with FilterTime and RentCheck ensures seamless filter deliveries and automated check-ins, so your properties stay well-maintained year-round.

Step 1: Submit Property Information

  • Use the Upload Template – Enroll properties by creating a copy of the template and adding all necessary details, including:

    • Property Address

    • Start Date

    • Filter Pack Option

    • Filter Size(s)

  • Ensure Accuracy – Double-check that each property includes the correct filter size(s) to avoid delays.

  • Submit Properties – Property submissions must be completed using this form at least 3 business days prior to the earliest "start date" listed on the upload template.

  • Please allow at least three business days for RentCheck to process any new form submission. Again, ensure that any "start date" is at least three business days after the submission date.

Step 2: Filter Processing & Shipping

  • Once submitted, we’ll send your property information to FilterTime for processing.

  • Filter packs will be processed and shipped based on the indicated start date for the full change frequency throughout the year. This ensures tenants have all the filters they need in advance.

Step 3: Scheduling Automated Filter Checks in RentCheck

  • After submission, RentCheck will automatically generate filter checks in your account based on the selected "start date."

  • Timeline: Select a start date two weeks before the desired first filter check. RentCheck’s automated scheduling system will follow this timeline.

  • Why? This ensures tenants have received their filters before the first check is due, allowing for a smooth and timely replacement process.

Step 4: Communicating with Residents

To ensure tenants are aware of the program and take action, we recommend using the following email template:
