Connect & Lease
Avg. 48 hoursExpress interest in a tenant. If they're interested too, contact info is shared and you can move forward. Both sides must opt in.
How Your Trust Score Works
No hidden algorithms. You can see exactly how your score is calculated.
Verified annual income and ability to pay. Higher stable income = higher score. We look at ability to pay, not demographic data.
Pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, and government IDs all contribute. More verified documents = higher score.
Employment stability and previous landlord references. Long tenure and positive references boost your score.
Your data stays yours until you decide to share
Landlords only see trust scores, employment info, and bio -- never raw documents, address, or phone number. Contact details are only exchanged when both parties opt in.
Common Questions
Yes. Tenants can create profiles, upload documents, and get matched for free. No per-application fees like traditional screening services.
Those are listing sites where landlords post and wait. ScoutRenter actively finds and recommends pre-screened tenants to landlords based on their specific criteria. Think headhunter, not job board.
Yes. Landlords only see your trust scores, employment info, and bio until both parties express mutual interest. Your address, phone number, and documents are never shared directly.
No. Our scoring is based exclusively on verifiable financial and employment data. We don't use demographic information, criminal records, or any factors that could introduce racial or socioeconomic bias. We're committed to Fair Housing compliance.
During our launch period, ScoutRenter is free for both sides. Future pricing will be a simple per-match fee for landlords -- you only pay when you find a tenant you want to connect with.
