Professional screening, completed digitally

Every applicant goes through a consistent, professional screening pipeline — identity verification, Right to Rent, referencing, credit, and affordability — using Stripe Identity, LetsSafe, and recorded compliance evidence.

Screening steps

Each step runs independently. Landlords choose which checks to require, from basic identity only to the full referencing suite.

Identity Verification

Applicants verify their identity in under a minute using their phone camera. Powered by Stripe's AI document and biometric checks.

Right to Rent

Capture Home Office share-code checks, manual evidence, or future certified IDSP results with a clear audit trail.

Comprehensive Referencing

Employment, previous landlord, and character references gathered and verified. Full report delivered to your dashboard.

Credit Check

Credit history and CCJ checks via Experian data. Results returned digitally with a clear pass/refer/fail indicator.

Affordability Assessment

Income-to-rent ratio assessment verifying the applicant can comfortably afford the tenancy.

Provider approach

SmartTenant uses Stripe Identity for applicant identity verification and LetsSafe for tenancy referencing, credit checks, and affordability checks. Right to Rent is recorded as a compliance evidence workflow while the best certified IDSP route is assessed.
