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.

Range: 300 – 900
Document Evidence0/100

Why 0/100: Bank statement missing (0/40), pay stub missing (0/30), police clearance missing (0/30). This factor is 42% of your total score.

Income Stability (verified)49/100

Why 49/100: Income is 3.2x rent (4x = full marks); only 40% of it is trusted because 0 income document(s) were verified. Income source "Salary (private)" adds 27/30. This factor is 15% of your total score.

Criminal Background (verified)55/100

Why 55/100: Self-declared clean record without a police clearance caps this at 55/100. This factor is 10% of your total score.

Identity Verification98/100

Why 98/100: ID document verified (+40), liveness check passed (+30), face-match score 92% (+28/30). This factor is 10% of your total score.

Peer Reviews60/100

Why 60/100: 0 review(s). Fewer than 3 reviews pulls this toward the neutral 60/100 baseline. This factor is 5% of your total score.

Rent Payment History (self-declared)89/100

Why 89/100: 18 months at previous address (24+ = full), 95% on-time payments, 0 eviction(s) (each −40). This factor is 5% of your total score.

References & Conduct (self-declared)90/100

Why 90/100: Landlord reference provided (+50); neighbour rating 4/5 (+40/50). This factor is 5% of your total score.

Lifestyle Disclosure (self-declared)100/100

Why 100/100: Starts at 100 and deducts: smoking −10, heavy drinking −15, drug use −50, parties −15, loud music above 5/10 up to −20. Yours: 100/100. This factor is 4% of your total score.

Lease Commitment (self-declared)90/100

Why 90/100: Committed to the lease term (+60); intended stay 18 months (24+ = full 40). This factor is 4% of your total score.
