Shows whether they pay their obligations on time month after month, not just whether they can. Learn more

Confirms they earn enough to cover the rent, so you're underwriting on verified numbers instead of submitted documents. Learn more

Shows they have reserves to keep paying even if income dips, so you can consider applicants whose income is irregular rather than low.

Surfaces prior tenancies that ended in court, the outcome that costs landlords the most in time, legal fees, and vacancy. Learn more

Gives a consistent, criteria-based view of relevant records, applied the same way to every applicant. Learn more
