Great to hear! Please let us know which you decided to choose and how it's been going. Thanks!

@@landlordgurus I went with TurboTenant. Going well so far, my favorite feature is the digital signatures for documents, it is pretty sophisticated with conditional formatting and regular expressions. Wasn't expecting that at all! I will be officially moving all tenants over from Azibo starting Aug 1st.

Yes that is a real concern. Here is how both Avail and TurboTenant describe their reference and income verification processes: www.turbotenant.com/blog/new-income-insights/ www.avail.co/education/articles/what-does-an-avail-landlord-reference-check-consist-of In addition to using either of those services, I would also take a look at property records for those addresses the applicant has given to see if they are valid properties and that the owner of record matches up with the reference. This may not always check out, especially for properties owned by a business, but often does with a smaller rental or single family home. If it's a property management company you can google them and call them directly instead of at the number the applicant gave you. Also take a look at their paystubs and see if they look professional and legit, come from a payment service such as ADP etc. Make sure their tax and withholding info looks plausible and if the numbers are all rounded to the exact dollar, that would be unusual. You can also look up the company and find their HR departments and call them directly, again instead of using the number the applicant gave you. Finally, take a look at social media, especially LinkedIn. Most companies and/or their HR managers will have profiles there and you can see if their information matches up with what the applicant has given you. It is more effort to verify all this up front, but it is definitely better than dealing with the consequences later!
