Revolutionizing Tenant Screening in Canada

As a landlord in Canada, finding reliable tenants is one of the biggest challenges in property management. Traditional screening methods, such as credit reports and personal references, often fail to reveal critical rental history details. Many landlords unknowingly rent to high-risk tenants, leading to unpaid rent, property damage, and legal disputes.

Landlord Handshake is an innovative solution that connects landlords across Canada, enabling them to share real and verified rental history information. With this feature, landlords can communicate directly with previous landlords, ensuring better decision-making before leasing a property.

How It Works

Step-by-Step Guide to Landlord Handshake

  • 1. Add a Tenant: Landlords enter the tenant’s full name, date of birth, and rental address into the system. This creates a record that other landlords can later review.
  • 2. Admin Verification: The system validates tenant records to maintain data integrity and prevent misuse.
  • 3. Search for Tenants: Before renting to a new tenant, landlords can search by name to check if there is an existing rental history.
  • 4. Activate Handshake: If a previous landlord has added the tenant, you can request a handshake and start a private conversation.
  • 5. Get Real Insights: Discuss rental payments, eviction history, property care, and overall behavior with past landlords to make an informed decision.
Why Landlord Handshake Matters

The Importance of Verified Rental History

Canadian landlords lose thousands of dollars every year due to unpaid rent, legal fees, and eviction costs. Tenant-provided references are often unreliable, and credit checks do not reveal rental behavior patterns.
