What a landlord actually sees when you apply on Nessoo

The old way, a landlord gets everything: your name, your pay stubs, your bank statements, a photo of your ID, and often your employer's phone number. For every apartment, again. Here is what they get on Nessoo instead.

Before you accept a connection

  • That you qualify for their unit's rent
  • Your income-to-rent ratio, as a number
  • Your move-in window and household size
  • That your identity and income are verified, and when

That is the whole list. No name. No documents. No exact income, no balances, no employer.

After you accept

Your name and contact details, so they can meet you and draw up a lease. Still no documents; the verification stands in for them. If a landlord's process requires a document at lease signing, you share it with that landlord directly, once.

Why it works this way

Two reasons. The first is yours: your data should not sit in twenty inboxes because you looked at twenty apartments. The second is the landlord's: seeing only qualification before choosing whom to meet keeps decisions on the criteria that matter and out of fair-housing trouble.

What Nessoo keeps

The verification result (pass or fail, name and date of birth as checked), the income summary from Plaid, and your profile. Not your ID photos. Not your bank login. You can delete all of it by emailing us from your account address; details on the security page.

Verify once. Let the apartments come to you.

Five minutes, free to look, no broker fee.
