The Screening Flow: Email → OTP → Form → Review
A complete walkthrough of the tenant screening process from the initial email to the landlord's review dashboard.
The tenant screening process in Landager follows a secure, four-step flow designed to verify identity and collect comprehensive information.
Step 1: Request Screening & Email Invitation
When you trigger a screening request from the Tenants page by clicking Request Screening, Landager sends an automated email to the applicant containing:
- A personalized greeting
- An explanation of what the screening involves
- A secure, one-time link to the screening form
The email is sent from your Landager notification system and includes your property details for context.
Step 2: Email Verification (OTP)
When the applicant clicks the link, they first need to verify their email:
- The applicant enters their email address
- Landager sends a 6-digit OTP code to that email
- The applicant enters the code to confirm their identity
- If the code is correct, the screening form becomes accessible
This step ensures that only the intended recipient can access and submit the form.
Step 3: Screening Form Submission
After verification, the applicant sees a comprehensive, mobile-friendly form organized into sections:
Personal Information
- Full name, date of birth, nationality
- Phone number, current address
Identity Document
- Document type (passport, national ID, residence permit, driver's license)
- Document number
- Upload of document scan or photo
Employment & Income
- Employment status
- Employer name (if applicable)
- Monthly net income
- Upload of proof of income (payslips, contracts, bank statements)
Rental History
- Previous landlord name and contact information
Additional Details
- Desired move-in date
- Number of occupants
- Pet information
- Additional documents and notes
The form supports file uploads (images, PDFs, and Word documents) with a maximum of 5 files per upload field, each up to 10MB.
Step 4: Landlord Review
Once submitted, the application appears in your Screening Applications tab:
- The applicant's status changes to "Submitted"
- You click "View" to open a detailed review page at
/dashboard/screenings/[id] - You can navigate through their Personal Info, Employment, Rental History, and view all uploaded documents.
Step 5: Decision or Resubmission
On the review page, you have three primary actions:
- Approve: Automatically creates a formal Tenant profile using the verified data.
- Reject: Marks the application as rejected.
- Request Resubmission: If documents are blurry or missing, you can select specific requirements, attach a custom message, and send it back to the applicant to update.
