Short answer
Why does tenant screening need identity verification?
Tenant identity verification helps confirm that a rental applicant is a real person and that key identity details match the application. It gives the rest of the screening package a stronger foundation before reviewers compare risk signals.
Screening workflow
The whole flow fits on one line.
Create the package, send the link, guide the renter, review the result. That simple path keeps screening understandable for applicants and manageable for teams.
Send the link
Invite the applicant by email, SMS, listing, dashboard action, or connected workflow.
