Using Equifax\u00ae credit reports and a powerful AI algorithm that corroborates submitted tenant information, the Trust Score gives landlords a more <strong>secure and accurate<\/strong> measure of a prospective tenant&#8217;s suitability, thus\u00a0<strong>simplifying their selection process<\/strong>. The Trust Score effectively goes beyond a normal credit score for landlords, giving an overall picture of the tenant&#8217;s rental history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the new and improved Trust Score by liv.rent\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5v_ShhF0M4o?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How does the Trust Score work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trust Score is broken down into <strong>four components<\/strong> meant to give landlords an impression of a renter&#8217;s financial history and reliability as they relate to renting. Functioning as a sort of tenant risk score, this information is presented on a scale of 100, with 55 points coming from an Equifax\u00ae Credit Summary, 20 points from a Risk Assessment, 20 points from our unique Trustworthiness rating system, and the remaining 5 from their Income-to-Rent Ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick breakdown of how we calculate the Trust Score and where the information comes from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A credit check is conducted by Equifax\u00ae and provides a comprehensive picture of <strong>your financial credibility <\/strong>based on payment history, credit utilization, bankruptcy indicators, etc. This is largely the same information that would make up your credit score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The algorithm analyzes your profile, corroborating the details you provided with your public LinkedIn profile, photo ID, references etc. <strong>to determine your trustworthiness<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>liv.rent also automatically scans publicly available documents to gather any Court Records that may exist for a renter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"color: #fe5f55\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the Trust Score impact the tenant&#8217;s credit score?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trust Score gathers information from renters&#8217; Equifax\u00ae credit reports and will appear as an inquiry on their credit file. This will impact their overall credit score, however the impact will not be significant since the Trust Score is not actually an application for credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new credit inquiry is conducted whenever a landlord unlocks a renter&#8217;s Trust Score. Multiple inquiries within a short period generally count as one credit check, so when renters apply for numerous listings they are unlikely to see multiple inquiries on their credit history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"what-it-means\">What does the Trust Score rating mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2025.07.05-updated-trust-score-for-blog-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2025.07.05-updated-trust-score-for-blog-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2025.07.05-updated-trust-score-for-blog-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trust Score is presented to landlords on a scale of 100, with an intelligent Rating assigned for each range.

For any renters that apply to their listings, landlords have the option to unlock their full Trust Score report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once landlords use a credit to view the renter&#8217;s report, a credit check is conducted and the following information becomes visible to the landlord:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An Equifax\u00ae credit summary including credit score range<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Court &amp; Collections Records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential Risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bankruptcy records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Income-to-Rent Ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8230;and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, their Trustworthiness score will reveal: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Which piece of ID they used for Identification Verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Income Verification and Employment Verification &#8211; separate verifications that can be attained by the following documents:\n<ul>\n<li>T4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay stub<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employment letter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenant viability and reliability is further confirmed by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Income-to-rent ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Court record verification (where applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If a renter has entered their personal information incorrectly, credit information may not be available as their details must match Equifax<em>\u00ae<\/em> records. In this case, landlords will still be able to view applicants&#8217; verification documents, income, and income-to-rent ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: landlords are able to see all submitted tenant documents&nbsp;<strong>except<\/strong> for the picture ID, selfie, and full Equifax\u00ae credit report.
