Tenant Income & Employment Verification for Property Management

Landlords typically use background screening solutions to help evaluate potential tenants for credit checks, criminal history checks, rental history, and income and employment verification. 

At MeasureOne, property managers use employment and income verification solutions to evaluate a tenant's ability to pay rent and to even combat tenant fraud.  MeasureOne verifies an applicant’s employment by connecting directly to their payroll account, or by processing documents that show their income, such as pay stubs or tax returns using MeasureOne’s document processing solution, which allows for proprietary, automated, deterministic document and image processing with 100% accuracy. Document processing is an effective alternative  for tenants who do not have access to an online payroll system.

We are seeing near 100% participation in the process. There is also a strong precedent for consumers sharing access to much more sensitive data in return for some benefit to them.

Best practice with our customers is to use MeasureOne as the primary solution. If for whatever reason, a consumer is unable to connect to their online account, they have the ability to upload the requested documentation for us to process and provide the data directly to you. 

If for whatever reason the consumer still fails to complete the process, we recommend falling back to your current solution after a defined time frame.

The process of running a background check on a potential tenant is simple:

1. After obtaining written consent from the tenant (typically by including it in the rental application), landlords and property managers will select a screening provider. Screening providers can include specialized tenant screening companies, general background check companies, and consumer-permissioned data platforms like MeasureOne.
2. Landlord/management company will choose the type of screening they need. This can include credit checks, criminal history checks, rental history checks, employment and income verification, and reference checks.
3. Landlord/property manager will provide tenant information, such as their full name, date of birth, and social security number, to the screening provider. For income and employment verification with MeasureOne, property managers and landlords will simply provide the tenant email address and/or phone number to send a request for the tenant to log into their payroll account to pull their income and employment data. See how it works.
4. Once the data is received, it’s time to review the report. Data is compiled instantly into a report for easy access to verify tenant information.
