For Olivia, the more prospective tenants she could reach, the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directly through liv.rent, Olivia was able to share her listing to <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouver.craigslist.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Craigslist<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marketplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook Marketplace<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kijiji.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kijiji<\/a> with built-in marketing tools.

As <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/landlords\/how-to-rent-out-an-apartment-in-10-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other landlords<\/a> have done, Olivia used this opportunity as a &#8220;pre-screening&#8221; step to get a sense of how well applicants could follow directions and whether or not they were interested enough to make the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/landlords\/how-to-advertise-your-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Landlord Guide: How To Effectively Advertise Your Rental Property<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Challenge #2: Getting applicants to complete their Trust Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they had signed up for liv.rent, Olivia also asked applicants to get a Trust Score through the platform to aid in her decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most applicants were more than happy to complete their liv.rent profile and get a <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/livrent\/trust-score-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trust Score<\/a> rating, some renters were understandably wary to enter that much personal information online.

To reduce turnover and create successful, lasting landlord-tenant relationships, it&#8217;s extremely important for Olivia to cultivate trust &amp; transparency from the get-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust is a two-way street though, which is why Olivia made sure to point out to hesitant applicants that she had already been verified through liv.rent&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/livrent\/rental-verification-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multi-layered process<\/a>. She also highlighted the industry-leading data security procedures that protect all liv.rent users&#8217; information \u2013 including important documents uploaded for verification purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When prospective tenants expressed reluctance at providing things like their driver&#8217;s license and credit history, Olivia explained that all user information, including everything that is submitted to generate a Trust Score report, is stored securely in the cloud and protected by military-grade encryption protocols. For those who required further explanation, she made sure to link them to liv.rent&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Privacy Policy<\/a> to quell any lingering doubts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this point, nearly every renter felt confident providing the required information and Olivia was able to proceed with her tenant screening process using the Trust Score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/10\/trust-score-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Trust Score: Explained For Landlords And Renters<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Challenge #3: Making a final decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;Deciding which renter(s) to choose during the end stages is always very difficult for me.

All of these applicants had complete profiles on liv.rent and plenty of supporting documents that clearly showcased their rental history. Even though the international student didn&#8217;t yet have a credit history in Canada, they were able to provide proof of funds that adequately proved their ability to make rent payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with three excellent options for future tenants, Olivia had to look more in-depth at each of their Trust Score reports to find the perfect fit for the property in question. <\/p>\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>Beyond vital information like applicants&#8217; Credit Summary, Risk Assessment, and Income-to-rent Ratio, Olivia paid particular attention to each renter&#8217;s Trustworthiness score, making sure to view the documents they had submitted as an added layer of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, while the Trust Score played an integral role in creating a &#8220;shortlist&#8221; of qualified applicants, the final decision came down to who was the best match for this particular property, since each applicant was equally well-suited financially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After speaking to each of the prospective tenants in-person at scheduled showings as well as online through liv.rent&#8217;s Instant Chat, Olivia decided to proceed with the young professional, who had an excellent financial history and seemed like the best fit for the building and neighbourhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"in-brief\">In brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With 5 rental properties and a significant investment on the line, the importance of an efficient and all-encompassing tenant screening process was magnified in this case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick summary of the steps Olivia followed to ensure she was connecting with qualified renters at every step of the rental process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Sharing to multiple platforms<\/strong>: Using both <a href=\"https:\/\/landlords.liv.rent\/marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">built-in sharing features<\/a> as well as reaching an additional audience through manual sharing, Olivia was able to ensure that her listing was put in front of more renters. Expecting a high volume of applications, she also took steps to streamline the process from the outset by directing all interested renters to liv.rent \u2013 where she could see all their information in one place, communicate directly, and also favourite applications to ensure they don&#8217;t get lost throughout the lengthy rental process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prioritizing mutual trust at every stage: <\/strong>In this digital age, landlords necessarily require a lot of information about tenants in order to make informed and accurate screening decisions. However, Olivia was also keenly aware that tenants are particularly concerned about rental scams and took measures to promote two-way transparency right from posting her listing. By <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/livrent\/how-to-become-verified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">verifying her profile and listings<\/a> and reassuring renters about the safety of their information, she was able to do her due diligence while also ensuring applicants knew they were in a safe situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Looking beyond traditional credit checks \u2013 <\/strong>For nearly every landlord, finding tenants who are able to pay rent in full and on time is usually priority #1. When there are multiple applicants who all meet your financial criteria though, landlords &amp; property managers need additional information to reference in order to make a final decision. In Olivia&#8217;s case, her choice often comes down to a number of equally suitable renters, in which case she looks at additional information like their Detailed Risk Assessment and Trustworthiness in order to get a complete understanding of who she&#8217;ll be renting to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"takeaways\">Takeaways from this case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia&#8217;s rental process showcases how landlords can make well-informed tenant screening decisions and save time without compromising renter safety in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some key takeaways from this case study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>All-in-one solutions make managing multiple properties possible <\/strong>\u2014 From beginning to end, Olivia was able to use the liv.rent platform as her one-stop hub for all relevant communications, applications, showings, and even contracts &amp; rent payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doing your due diligence makes for stress-free tenancies <\/strong>\u2014 For landlords &amp; property managers renting out multiple units, ensuring each vacancy is filled promptly with trustworthy tenants is paramount. Though it may require additional effort upfront, the countless hours saved from dealing with troublesome occupants is well worth it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trust is a two-way street \u2014 <\/strong>While landlords need to ask for a lot of information throughout the application process, it&#8217;s important to remember that today&#8217;s renters are hyper-aware of rental scams. Taking the time to verify your profile and listings is an excellent first step towards building a relationship of trust &amp; transparency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/livrent\/rental-verification-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your guide to liv.rent\u2019s verification process<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<br>\n<style>\n.button-rethink-way-you-rent-monthly-report {\n  background-color: #3E5B77;\n  border: 5px #26425C;\n  color: white;\n  padding: 10px 30px;\n  text-align: center;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  display: inline-block;\n  font-size: 15px;\n  margin: 5px 0px 20px 0px;\n  cursor: pointer;\n}\n<\/style>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23097\" src=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Digital-Contracts-Cropped-2.gif\" alt=\"Find apartments &amp; houses for rent with the liv.rent app\" width=\"196\" height=\"370\" style=\"float:left;\">\n\n<h2 style=\"color: #3E5B77;\">Rethink The Way You Rent<\/h2>\n\n<p>Not on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liv.rent<\/a><\/strong> yet?
