This collaboration will integrate Discrepancy AI’s robust technology into the Leasey.AI platform, providing property managers with a powerful tool to ensure the accuracy and reliability of rental applications.

How Leasey.AI Integrates Discrepancy AI Technology
This strategic partnership will enable Leasey.AI users to seamlessly access Discrepancy AI’s capabilities directly within the Leasey.AI interface.
Discrepancy AI screens and validates documents submitted by rental applicants, identifies anomalies, and indexes data for easy reference by property managers.
The document validation tool helps property managers confirm the accuracy of the information provided in tenant applications and detects any alterations made using photo editing software, effectively combating tenant application fraud.
Why Rental Application Fraud Demands Immediate Action
Application fraud is a significant issue in the rental industry, often leading to costly evictions and prolonged legal battles.
Recent data highlights the severity of this rental fraud problem. According to a survey by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC), 93.3% of apartment owners, developers, and managers in the US reported encountering some form of fraud in the past year. This includes misrepresentation of income, employment, and identity (American Apartment Owners Association rental fraud report).
In Canada, fraud in rental applications is also on the rise, with common tactics including the use of fake pay stubs, falsified credit reports, and altered bank statements. These fraudulent activities can significantly impact the rental market, causing increased costs and administrative burdens for landlords and property managers (SingleKey tenant screening guide).
Many tenant applications contain inaccuracies that go unnoticed during the initial tenant screening process. These inaccuracies can result in problematic tenancies and ultimately, evictions. Property managers can implement proper due diligence during the application process to mitigate tenant fraud risks and ensure a smooth landlord-tenant relationship.
Canada’s Growing Tenant-Landlord Dispute Crisis
Canada is currently experiencing an overwhelming backlog of legal disputes at the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board between tenants and landlords. In Ontario alone, there were over 53,000 unresolved disputes earlier this year, and that number only continues to climb. These disputes often stem from issues that property managers could have prevented with thorough application screening.
By integrating Discrepancy AI into the Leasey.AI platform, property managers can now leverage cutting-edge technology to prevent potential legal issues from arising, ensuring a more stable and reliable rental market. Read what the founders say about solving these challenges.
