Partner Testimonials
“[Applicant-based fraud] is a big issue, particularly in urban locations. We’re moving more into online fraud now because we’re encouraging everyone to lease an apartment online, get their credit checks online and sign the lease online. We love being off paper, but sometimes we don’t meet applicants until they move in, so this increases the risk for fraud.” *
Regional VP, Property Management Company
“Unfortunately, most of the time we identify fraud after move-in, which is terrible and puts us in a risky position. If we can identify fraud in advance, that’s great.” *
Regional VP, Property Management Company
“One of the biggest concerns is how [fraud] impacts our reputation. It can cost us business from our clients and oftentimes from other clients who weren’t even impacted by the fraud. It can cost us a management portfolio. We look at that as a smear against our reputation and our operational abilities. There’s a very high cost and it’s not so much about the monetary implications as much as it’s about the reputation.”*
