Guide & Explanations
Tenant Application Comparison Tool: Secure Your Rental Investment
Choosing the right tenant is the most critical decision for any landlord. To minimize the risks of unpaid rent and vacancies, it is essential to compare candidates objectively. Our tenant scoring tool allows you to scientifically analyze the strength of each application.
How Does Tenant Scoring Work?
Our algorithm relies on real estate market standards to assign a trust score (out of 100) to each candidate:
- Solvency (50%): The ratio between net income and rent is the top criterion. A 3:1 ratio is standard, but 3.5:1 or 4:1 offers enhanced security.
- Professional Stability (30%): A permanent contract (CDI) with solid seniority is favored over more precarious contracts (temp, short-term).
- Guarantees (20%): Having a physical guarantor or a deposit insurance provides a significant point boost, especially for students or young professionals.
Why Compare Multiple Applications?
Even if a candidate seems ideal on paper, a side-by-side comparison of three profiles can highlight important nuances. For example, a candidate with slightly lower income but a very strong guarantor may prove less risky than a high-income earner still in their probation period.
