    Screening helps you verify information and make informed decisions while protecting your community. Platuni supports screening tools based on your region’s legal framework.

    What screening information you can request
    Depending on your country or province, you may be able to request:
    • Identity verification
    • Income verification
    • Credit history
    • Rental history
    • Background checks (where allowed)
    • Guarantor or co signer information
    Platuni ensures that only legally permitted screening tools are available in your region.

    Consent process and privacy rules
    Before any screening occurs, the applicant must:
    • Acknowledge screening requirements
    • Provide digital consent
    • Upload any supporting documents
    Platuni follows strict privacy standards. Screening information is visible only to authorized team members and is stored securely according to regional compliance guidelines.

    Where screening results appear and how to interpret them
    Screening results appear inside the application view, clearly labeled for ease of review.
    You may see:
    • Income to rent ratios
    • Credit indicators
    • Flags for missing or unverifiable information
    • Rental history summaries

    Background Screening

    Use these results as part of a holistic review, not as the sole determinant, while respecting fair housing principles.
