The first step in reviewing a rental application involves collecting basic information about the renter. This includes the renter's full name, contact information such as phone and email, current address, and proof of identity. This step is crucial as it helps ensure that the renter is who they say they are. 🕵️♀️
At this stage, you'll be collecting:
This basic information forms the foundation of the renter's profile and is essential for the subsequent steps in the rental application process.
Clara takes the stress out of this process by pre-verifying all renter information. Through a partnership with Plaid, a data network powering the digital financial ecosystem, Clara ensures that all renter information is accurate and trustworthy. This removes the risk of application fraud, allowing you to focus on finding the best renter for your property. 🛡️
Clara can verify identification documents, phone numbers, name, date of birth, ID numbers, addresses, and more for end users in over 200 countries.
How does it work? Clara prompts the renter to upload an image of an identity document. Plaid will use anti-fraud checks to verify that the document appears to be legitimate and is unexpired. Plaid will also verify the date of birth and name on the document against the data provided by the user.
In addition to providing verified renter information, Clara is designed with fair housing regulations in mind. The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when they are renting or buying a home, getting a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other housing-related activities. Additional protections apply to federally-assisted housing.
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of Race, Color, National Origin, Religion, Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), Familial Status, and Disability. To prevent conscious or subconscious discrimination, Clara's renter profiles are verified independently and built with end-to-end transparency.
