ABOUT

Why RentQual?

Why RentQual?

RentQual was created to solve a broken housing system—one where qualified tenants are denied simply because they don’t fit outdated models.

We built a platform that brings fairness, trust, and transparency to the rental process — for both renters navigating systemic gaps and housing providers seeking better-qualified, longer-term tenants.

For non-traditional earners, new learners, or those starting over after a life setback, RentQual™ verifies rent readiness with real-world proof, not red tape.

Our system integrates trusted verification tools like Plaid, Equifax, Checkr, and Truework, ensuring every report carries credibility, compliance, and confidence for decision-makers.
