Verify tenants and agents without photocopied IDs
Letting agencies, property managers and rental platforms deal with applicants they meet briefly, if at all. Yimi verifies tenants and agents remotely, with their consent, before viewings, leases or key handovers.
Example Lettings would like to verify your identity for tenant application.

The challenge
Rental applications still rely on emailed ID copies that are easy to alter and hard to protect.
- Applicants send identity documents to several agents, and each one keeps its own copy.
- Remote viewings and digital leases make it harder to confirm who is actually applying.
- Landlords want reassurance that the tenant on the lease is the person moving in.
