How It Works

From application to decision
in minutes

TenantFort automates the entire screening pipeline — document fraud detection, public records cross-reference, employer/landlord verification, scoring, and audit trail — so you can make confident decisions faster.
STEP 01

Applicant submits their application

Share your branded application link with prospective tenants. They fill out personal, employment, and rental history — then upload documents like pay stubs, bank statements, and government ID. Works on any device.

  • Multi-step form with progress tracking
  • Supports PDF, JPEG, PNG, HEIC uploads (20MB max)
  • Mobile-friendly — applicants can apply from their phone
  • No account required for applicants
STEP 02

AI flags documents for review

Every uploaded document is analyzed by Claude AI for authenticity. The system checks font consistency, math accuracy, metadata anomalies, and patterns matching known fraud templates. Suspect documents are flagged with specific reasons so you can investigate before making a decision.

  • Font mismatch detection across document fields
  • Math verification (do the numbers add up?)
  • Metadata inspection (creation date, editing software)
  • Risk score 0-100 with detailed flag descriptions
STEP 03

Public records are cross-referenced

The applicant's name and identifiers are checked against free public registries — sex offender registries (NSOPW for US, provincial sites for Canada). A light web cross-reference confirms employer, address, and identity details match what they entered. Any matches are surfaced as flags for your review.

  • NSOPW.gov sex offender lookup (US)
  • Provincial sex offender registries (Canada)
  • Web cross-reference: name, employer, address
  • Cross-document consistency checks
STEP 04

Employer and landlord verifications are sent

Automated verification requests go out to the applicant's employer and previous landlord via email. They fill out a simple form confirming employment details, rent payment history, and lease compliance. Responses are cross-referenced with the application.

  • One-click email verification requests
  • Token-based secure forms (no login needed for verifiers)
  • Discrepancy detection between application and verification
  • Automatic follow-up reminders
STEP 05

Your screening criteria are applied consistently

The scoring engine evaluates every applicant against your configured criteria — income-to-rent ratio, rental history, eviction limits, verification requirements. Every factor is weighed and explained in plain language so you can see exactly how the score was reached.

  • 6 weighted scoring criteria per property
  • Approve / Conditional / Deny recommendations
  • Plain-language explanations for every factor
  • Same criteria applied to every applicant (Fair Housing audit trail)
