Report boundary
Evidence keeps its source
A payroll connection, an uploaded file, and a reference response stay distinct. Unknowns and limitations remain visible beside the evidence.
Catch what other screening
services miss.
Know who you're renting to before you hand over the keys. VeriRent verifies identity and income, analyzes documents, and collects reference signals. Every signal shows its source. You decide.
Fraud-focused tenant screening for independent landlords, designed to work alongside conventional credit and background screening.

Methodology
Verify the whole person.
Four ways to know who you're handing the keys to — and four ways for an honest applicant to prove themselves without a credit pull or an SSN. Verification that respects both sides of the lease.
Identity verification
Government-ID, live-selfie and biometric comparison checks provide identity evidence with a status you can review. VeriRent does not ask for a Social Security number.
- Applicant inputGovernment ID and live selfie
- Source checkDocument, liveness, and biometric comparison
- Report observationIdentity evidence with its source and status
Limit: A match supports identity evidence. It is not a rental decision.
Source-labeled reportRental fraud evidence
The risk is documented.
Fabricated pay stubs and references are not edge cases for rental operators. The evidence calls for better source checks, not a black-box score.

Capability index
Every layer of verification. One report.
Six distinct evidence lanes meet in one readable record. Each lane keeps its own source, status, and limits instead of disappearing into an aggregate score.
- 01Direct payroll connectionApplicant-consented income data from a connected payroll source.
- 02Identity verificationGovernment ID, live selfie, liveness, and biometric comparison.
- 03Document forensicsBounded observations across metadata, fonts, compression, layout, and math.
- 04Reference intelligenceStructured responses, timing, domains, and reappearance patterns.
- 05VPN & proxy detectionNetwork observations that surface VPN, proxy, and geolocation inconsistencies.
- 06Employer domain checksDomain records and reference-email domain checks. These domain checks do not confirm employment.
The engine
Where the cross-checks happen.
The engine compares each claim with the evidence available for that lane. The result is not a score: it is a record of observations, sources, unknowns, and limitations.

Decision boundary
You make the decision
VeriRent organizes document-analysis and verification evidence. It does not approve or deny applicants.
The Complete Workflow
From listing to lease. One platform.
Collect applications, invite applicants for screening, and review the available evidence before you decide.
01
Create a listing
Add your property to collect preliminary applications, or invite an applicant directly for screening.
02
Share anywhere
Share a listing to collect free preliminary applications. Invite applicants you want to screen.
03
Applicants apply
Applicants provide details and references, review consent information and pay $44. Identity and income steps follow payment.
04
We check the evidence
Identity checks, payroll or document evidence, and reference responses produce source-labeled findings.
05
You pick your tenant
Source-labeled verification signals and side-by-side comparison to help you choose.
Report first
See the evidence before the decision.
The report is the product: a readable record of what was checked, where each observation came from, and what still needs judgment.
- 01Source mapEvery observation keeps its source, so payroll data never reads like an uploaded document or a reference claim.
- 02Visible uncertaintyUnknown and review states stay visible beside the evidence instead of being averaged away.
- 03Landlord authorityYou make the rental decision using your criteria and the evidence in front of you.
Illustrative sample using fictitious data. Actual report contents depend on the evidence available for a screening.
Under the hood
What we refuse to do.
Trust isn't a badge wall — it's the constraints a system is built around. These hold for every screening, every landlord, no exceptions.
- No aggregate scores
- Every signal in a VeriRent report is labeled with its source and shown with its evidence. We never compress a person into a single number — you see what we saw, and you make the call.
- No SSN, no credit pull
- Applicants prove who they are with a government ID and a live face match — never a Social Security number. VeriRent is a document-analysis tool, not a credit bureau.
- No passwords stored
- Sign-in is by magic link. There is no password to reuse, phish, or breach — a credential leak somewhere else can't open your account here.
- No screening without a signed DPA
- Every landlord accepts a GDPR Article 28 data-processing agreement before their first screening — the API refuses to run one without it.
Simple, transparent pricing
One price. Every feature. No subscriptions.
$44/screening
Tenant-paid. Landlords pay nothing.
- Document fraud detection
- Identity verification + liveness
- Direct payroll income verification
- Reference cross-validation
- Source-labeled signals — identity, payroll, and document forensics
Works alongside your existing screening tools — TurboTenant, Zillow, Avail, or standalone.

Tenant Screening — Frequently Asked Questions
What does VeriRent check that credit reports don't?
Credit reports show payment history. VeriRent checks identity and income evidence, uploaded documents and reference responses. Document metadata, fonts and arithmetic can surface observations for review; they do not establish authenticity on their own.
What about fake references?
VeriRent collects structured reference responses and checks response timing, answer detail, employer domains and recurring reference contacts. These observations can help you identify questions to follow up. They do not establish that a reference is truthful or false.
How does VeriRent detect fake paystubs?
VeriRent checks document metadata, fonts and arithmetic, and shows the available findings with their sources and limitations. A file may need manual review. No single observation proves that a paystub is genuine or fabricated.
Does VeriRent replace SmartMove or TransUnion?
No. Use VeriRent alongside conventional screening when you need additional identity, income, document and reference evidence. VeriRent does not provide credit reports, criminal records or eviction history. See VeriRent vs SmartMove comparison
How long does a VeriRent screening take?
Timing depends on the applicant completing the required steps, the available evidence, processing and reference responses. Findings become available for review when the report is ready; some evidence may remain incomplete.
How does VeriRent identity verification work?
After payment, applicants follow government-ID and selfie steps. Identity checks include document, liveness and biometric comparison, with NFC reading where supported. The report shows the available status; further review may be needed. See the full process
What is the 3x rent income rule?
A 3x rent rule means comparing monthly income with three times the monthly rent. Connected payroll provides income evidence directly from the payroll source. Uploaded documents are a separate evidence source; matching figures alone do not establish authenticity.
How much does VeriRent tenant screening cost?
VeriRent costs $44 per screening, paid by the tenant. Landlords pay nothing. The screening includes identity, income, document and reference checks, with availability and limitations shown where applicable. See pricing details
