How It Works

From application to verified documents
in minutes

TenantFort checks the documents, compares them with the application, runs the employer and landlord verifications, and keeps the record. It never scores an applicant; the decision stays yours.
STEP 01

Applicant submits their application

Share your 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 checks every document

Each uploaded document is read by Claude AI and checked for signs of alteration or fabrication: font consistency, whether the figures add up, metadata anomalies, and patterns that match known fraud templates. Anything suspect is flagged with the specific reason, so you can look before you decide.

  • Font mismatch detection across document fields
  • Math verification (do the numbers add up?)
  • Metadata inspection (creation date, editing software)
  • Every flag comes with the reason it was raised
STEP 03

The application is compared with the documents

What the applicant typed, such as employer, income, address and previous rent, is compared with what their documents say. Mismatches are listed for you to ask about. Nothing is sent to any registry or outside service, and no credit, criminal or eviction report is pulled.

  • Stated income against pay stubs and bank deposits
  • Stated employer against the documents
  • Cross-document consistency checks
  • No outside lookups of any kind
STEP 04

Employer and landlord verifications are sent

Verification requests go out to the applicant's employer and previous landlord by email. They fill out a simple form confirming employment details, rent payment history, and lease compliance. Responses are compared 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 criteria sit beside the facts

You set your own rental criteria for each property: the income you look for, the rental history you want, which verifications you require. TenantFort shows each applicant's stated and verified figures next to those rules. It does not score the applicant or recommend a decision.

  • Your own criteria per property
  • Verified figures shown beside each rule
  • No score, no ranking, no recommendation
  • The same view for every applicant
STEP 06

You review and decide

Read the findings, approve or decline, and write your reason in your own words. TenantFort formats it as a decision notice and emails it to the applicant for you. Everything is logged: what was checked, what was found, who decided and when.

  • Document verification report as a branded PDF
  • Fraud flags with the reason for each
  • Decision notice in your words, delivered for you
  • Full audit trail
