New on LandlordEzy

Landlord Reference Network

Verified-only network of Ontario landlords. Look up a prospective tenant. Connect privately with their previous landlords. Protect your investment.

Built into LandlordEzy. Free for verified landlords on every tier.

Replaces Landlord Handshake™ and Verified Tenant Network. Same community, sharper tools.

How it works

Three steps. Two minutes apiece. Every additional landlord makes the network sharper for everyone else.

  1. 1

    Get verified

    Upload a government ID once. Our team reviews within 24 hours, then permanently deletes the image. We never keep it.

  2. 2

    Register or search

    Register past tenants to warn other landlords. Search prospective tenants before you sign them. Every lease, screening, or credit check you run on LandlordEzy auto-populates the network.

  3. 3

    Connect privately

    On match, we automatically open a private 1:1 chat with each previous landlord. Chat content auto-deletes after 24 hours — what's said stays between you.

Designed for trust, top to bottom

🪪

Verified humans only

Every member uploads a government ID. No anonymous accounts, no fake landlords.

Ephemeral conversations

Chat content is hard-deleted 24 hours after the conversation opens. Nothing to subpoena, nothing to leak.

🔒

We don't keep your ID

Your ID image is permanently deleted the moment our admin team finishes verifying it. Audit-logged.

Why we built this

Ontario landlords carry an asymmetric risk. A bad tenant can cost $10,000+ in arrears, months of LTB process, and a wrecked unit — and there has never been a real way to find out about that tenant before signing the lease.

The government isn't building this. So we did.

The Landlord Reference Network is a verified-only, landlord-governed ecosystem where you can quietly check who you're about to sign and connect with the people who rented to them before you. Built on top of LandlordEzy's existing tools — Equifax rent reporting, AI credit checks, LandlordEzy screening reports, lease management — every action on the platform makes the network sharper for everyone in it.

✓ Completely free, no upgrade required

Join the network. It's free.

Every Landlord Reference Network feature — register tenants, search the network, open private chats — is 100% free for every verified Ontario landlord, on every LandlordEzy plan including the free tier.
