How Much Screening Does EzyFlats Do for Each Renter?

How much screening does EzyFlats do on renters? Every applicant must verify their identity, verify their phone number, and provide their name and address before they can apply — so every request you receive comes from a genuine, identifiable person. We also check income and facilitate reference checks, with applicants now able to submit proof and references after applying to keep good tenants from dropping off. But the final call is always yours: we recommend a quick message exchange or phone call to confirm the fit, because no one knows your property better than you.
