A new partnership in Quinte could be a payoff for both landlords and those looking to rent.

Earlier this week, Chad Guziewicz, co-founder of tech start-up Rentify, presented to the Quinte Region Landlords Association (QRLA) in downtown Belleville. With the endorsement of QRLA president,Robert Gentile, Guziewicz demonstrated the platform and outlined the benefits of the solution for the rental community.

Rentify is a software solution developed to reduce risk and streamline the laboursome process of choosing a tenant. Through the platform landlords can automatically verify income and identity to select a reliable applicant using an AI-based risk score.

The Quinte Region Landlords Association is the first partner in the Rentify pilot project.

“It was important for us to partner with the local landlord association to pilot our solution,” stated Guziewicz. “Through the partnership, we will be working closely with the landlords to ensure a seamless and trustworthy experience for users.”

Not only is this solution intended to support landlords, it is designed to make the application process easier and more secure for prospective tenants. Currently tenants are often asked to provide their social insurance number and other sensitive information on applications. Through Rentify, tenants log in securely through their bank to validate identity and income. The landlords only see a summary of basic financial information such as average monthly income and average monthly closing balance.

“We are excited to be working with Chad on this new software,” stated Gentile. “This platform will help solve a major issue in the renting market for both tenants and landlords, making it a better experience for everyone.”
