Verification includes but is not limited to: rent amount, payment history, security deposit, damage, evictions, etc. “ They also certify that they are authorized to submit this information.

We use five data points to determine the legitimacy of the responding landlords/property managers. We start with property ownership and relationship to the tenant. We make sure the contact information provided by the tenant for the landlord actually belongs to the landlord or property manager. If we determine they are not legitimate, the report will contain a “Flagged Report” badge with details about the issues causing concern.
No. Only the tenant’s name and past address(es) are visible on the report. All other searchable, personal tenant data is invisible, encrypted and safeguarded on the site.
We do not ask for, nor do we receive the tenant’s entire social security number. We ask for ONLY the last four digits of a tenant’s social security number, which allows for a more specific search result.
The report will contain the past landlord name and contact information. Reports are only visible to the tenant, the past landlord and the new landlord. This information is never sold.
We start with the assumption that the tenant will be paying for the service. However, landlords and property managers who send tenants to our site have the option to pay, if they desire to. The cost for the service is $10.95. Fees are non-refundable. For landlords who pay, we provide a “Decline Payment” button solely as a safety measure. Once a tenant requests a report on our site, it is expected that the service be paid for.
Payment can be made with a credit card, a Visa or Master Card DEBIT card, or a pre-paid card. WALMART: You can pick up a Walmart MoneyCard in any checkout lane at your local Walmart store. KROGER: You can purchase a Kroger Temporary debit card in any checkout lane at your local Kroger store. You can use cash during checkout to load money onto the card.

LandLord Verification™ is a platform that stores factual data voluntarily entered by participating parties. The questions asked on the report are fact-based questions and the answers should be easily to prove. You may also upload photos as evidence, if you like. In addition, most property management organizations and individuals maintain historical files of tenant data and can access them as evidence if necessary. We strongly discourage inputting false data on the website.
