Tenant scoring factors

  • Document Evidence

    Bank statement, pay stub, and police clearance — each OCR-validated and name-matched against your verified profile. Documents are the single biggest factor.

  • Income Stability (verified)

    Income-to-rent ratio (4× rent = perfect). Self-declared income is trusted at only 40% without a verified document, 80% with one, 100% with both.

  • Criminal Background (verified)

    Clean record earns full marks only with an uploaded Nepal Police clearance whose name matches you. Self-declared 'no record' is partial credit.

  • Identity Verification

    Government ID + live-scan face match + DOB cross-checked against the document.

  • Rent Payment History (self-declared)

    Tenure at previous address, on-time payment ratio, eviction record. Self-declared — light weight.

  • References & Conduct (self-declared)

    Previous-landlord reference and good-neighbor rating. Self-declared — light weight.

  • Lifestyle Disclosure (self-declared)

    Smoking, heavy drinking, drug use, parties, music loudness. Self-declared — light weight.

  • Lease Commitment (self-declared)

    Willingness to commit and intended length of stay. Self-declared — light weight.

Document caps (anti-junk-data)

  • 0 verified documents → score capped at 600
  • 1 verified document (bank statement, pay stub, or police report) → cap 700
  • 2 verified documents → cap 770
  • All 3 verified → no cap, full 900 possible

Landlord scoring factors

  • Property Legitimacy & Lalpurja

    Legal ownership, Lalpurja proof, years as a landlord.

  • Property Quality

    Furnishing level, parking, bedrooms, bathrooms.

  • Fairness & Flexibility

    Pets, families, bachelors, lease length, healthy home rules.

  • Identity Verification

    Government ID + live-scan match score.

  • Track Record with Tenants

    Total tenants vs. eviction rate.

  • Lease & Penalty Commitment

    Commits to written break-penalty terms.
