We Help Property Managers Strengthen Verification of Rent — So You Can Screen Better and Protect Your Communities
Your Success Is Our Story
“We have seen a significant decline in bed debt and evictions after implementing Renter, Inc. in one of our communities, we plan to roll out Renter, Inc. on all 12,000+ units very soon.”
Anthony Weatherington, Fernwood Communities
The most important part of tenant screening is also the hardest to get right: Verification of Rent.
It’s where fraud hides, fake landlords slip through, and where rushed or incomplete processes lead to evictions, bad debt, and NOI loss.
You want reliable renters, fewer delinquencies, and a screening process you can trust.
That’s exactly why Renter, Inc. exists
Why We Started Renter, Inc.
Renter, Inc. wasn’t created as a software idea—it began as a real problem.
Years ago, our founder approved an applicant who had provided a falsified landlord reference. Everything looked legitimate, but the “landlord” was a friend pretending to be one.
The result was costly:
- Over $10,000 in legal fees
- Unpaid rent
- Property damage
- Weeks of stress and lost time
That experience revealed a painful truth:
Landlord reference checks are incredibly valuable—but extremely easy to fake, time-consuming to complete, and nearly impossible to trust without proper validation.
That moment became the turning point.
There had to be a better way.
The Mission That Grew From One Bad Tenant
What started as a personal setback turned into a 10-year mission to improve Verification of Rent for the entire industry.
For the last decade, Renter, Inc. has focused exclusively on one thing:
Fixing the landlord reference process.
- Making it faster
- Making it fraud-resistant
- Making it more consistent
- Making it more complete
- Making it more accessible to operators of any size
We’ve helped property managers, multifamily operators, single-family PMs, and screening companies strengthen the most overlooked part of tenant screening.
And we’re just getting started.
Why We Focus Entirely on Verification of Rent
Because nothing affects your communities more than the renters you approve.
Credit checks help. Background checks help. Income checks help.
But rental history tells the real story—how someone behaves as a renter, how they pay, and how they treat the community.
The problem is not the value of landlord references.
The problem is everything that prevents them from being reliable:
- Unresponsive landlords
- Fake references
- Unverified contact info
- Edited documents
- Inconsistent questions
- Lack of fraud detection
- Manual, time-consuming workflows
That’s why Renter, Inc. was built around three essential pillars:
1. Complete landlord outreach done for you
So your team no longer wastes hours chasing responses.
2. Landlord identity validation
So you never rely on fake or fraudulent references again.
3. Resident-ledger extraction
So you get verified rental history even when landlords won’t respond.
Together, these pillars provide the most complete and fraud-resistant Rental History Verification (RHV) process available today.
A Decade of Educating and Supporting the Industry
Over the last 10 years we have:
- Educated thousands of operators on the importance of rental history
- Helped companies detect fake landlords they never would have spotted
- Reduced evictions and bad debt across portfolios
- Supported onsite and leasing teams overwhelmed by manual reference chasing
- Brought structure and consistency to the part of screening everyone struggles with
- Served partners nationwide across multifamily, SFR, and screening platforms
Our belief has always been the same:
Every operator deserves access to accurate, trustworthy rental history—no matter what screening system they use or how big their portfolio is.

Fraud continues to evolve. Applicant deception becomes more sophisticated. And landlords are responding less than ever before.
There is still work to be done—and we’re committed to leading the industry forward.
When you use Renter, Inc., you’re not just improving your own screening decisions.
You’re helping shape a better future for property managers, owners, multifamily operators, and residents everywhere.
Together, we can make Verification of Rent:
Faster
Verification of Rent should never slow down your leasing workflow. Our goal is to make rental history available in hours—not days—so onsite teams can approve qualified renters quickly, reduce vacancy loss, and keep revenue moving without sacrificing accuracy.
Easier
Property managers shouldn’t have to chase landlords, track down missing details, or juggle inconsistent workflows. We’re working toward a world where VOR is simple, seamless, and effortless—so teams can focus on leasing, not administrative tasks.
More Accurate
Rental history is only valuable when it’s complete and correct. Our mission is to continue refining the way data is collected, verified, and reviewed—ensuring operators always receive clear, dependable information they can trust for high-stakes decisions.
More Fraud-Proof
Fraud evolves constantly, and so will we. Our goal is to stay ahead of the tactics used by deceptive applicants by strengthening identity verification, detecting patterns early, and building systems that make falsified references nearly impossible to pass through.
More Accessible
Every operator—whether managing 50 units or 50,000—deserves access to reliable rental history. We’re committed to making Verification of Rent available to all property managers, regardless of their screening provider, software stack, or portfolio size.
