How to screen a tenant before you sign - without touching their documents
Screening the wrong tenant is the most expensive mistake a landlord can make. Nineflat screens tenants without you ever handling their raw payslips or ID - the tenant consents, uploads, and shares the result. A step-by-step guide.
Signing the wrong tenant is the most expensive mistake a landlord can make - months of unpaid rent, a property you can't re-let, and a legal process that drags. A proper screening before you sign is the cheapest insurance there is. The catch: screening means handling someone's payslips, ID, and bank statements, and that's a GDPR liability you don't want sitting in your inbox.
Nineflat screens tenants without you ever touching their raw documents.
How it works
You start the screening; the tenant does the sensitive part. Open Tenant screening → New screening, choose or add the prospective tenant (with their email) and (optionally) pick the property - the requested rent and deposit auto-fill from the lease, so the check is assessed against the real numbers.
From there:
- You send an invite. The tenant gets a private link.
- They consent and upload their own documents. You never see the raw files
- that stays between the tenant and the screening.
- They review and share the result. A report appears in your dashboard only once the tenant submits and shares it.
- You decide. The report informs your decision; it doesn't make it for you.
Why tenant-led screening is better - for both sides
- Less sensitive-data handling for you. You do not store or see the raw payslips and IDs. Data minimisation is built into the flow.
- Higher completion. Tenants are far more willing to share when they control what's shared and can see it first.
- A fairer process. The tenant can review the evidence journey before the result is shared. The report informs the landlord; it never makes the decision.
What it costs
The first completed landlord screening is free. After that, screenings are €25 on Free or €17 on a paid plan when its annual quota has been used (2 on Starter, 10 on Pro). Invited tenants never pay. Screening is currently available in Greece and Cyprus.
