Rentify Launch AI Tool

 

In April 2021, Rentify announced the general availability of its online tool to help property owners and managers improve their ability to screen prospects and identify ideal residents.

Rentify uses an AI-driven approach that replaces credit checks with a comprehensive analysis of prospects’ overall financial picture that leverages bank data.

Credit checks often provide incomplete and misleading information that fails to uncover serious risk factors. Rentify solves this problem by providing a much deeper snapshot of a prospect’s financial history, allowing property owners to make more informed, better decisions in a matter of minutes.

Property owners can create a Rentify rental application, select their questions and criteria, and ask prospective renters to connect with their banking institutions to provide a detailed report called a Bank Check. This document contains the applicant’s bank balance, total income, employer information, overdraft frequency, rent payment issues, bill payment issues, and red flags such as past bankruptcies.

Rentify verifications are paperless, cost half as much as credit checks, and can be done instantly, building instant trust between landlords and tenants by getting everything out in the open.
