New interface in the easy­square potential tenant app: SCHUFA report with just a single click

For housing companies, the rental process is one of the most resource-intensive workflows. From a potential tenant's first enquiry until the final rental contract is signed, there are numerous work steps to be completed as part of the rental process. This includes checking the creditworthiness of potential tenants. The SCHUFA report is the tried and tested means of performing a quick check on the creditworthiness of potential tenants. As a rule, the report contains information on ongoing credit agreements, outstanding arrears of payment and insolvency proceedings. Landlords use this information to minimise the risk of rental arrears and thus the risk to their business.

For prospective tenants searching for accommodation, it means that they have to submit numerous documents, for example to prove their creditworthiness, which can be complicated and time-consuming. In light of this, the easy­square rentals solution now provides yet another highly efficient feature to make the rental process even more straightforward for potential tenants and housing companies.

With the prior consent of the potential tenant, employees of the housing company can now view and manage SCHUFA scores and credit information and use them directly in the apartment rental process. The effort required to obtain a SCHUFA report or corresponding documents for the potential tenant is eliminated.

How does the new interface work?

An interface connects the easy­square rentals solution directly to SCHUFA, thus making it possible to submit queries in seconds. The landlord can obtain brief information regarding creditworthiness or detailed information similar to the form generated by the SCHUFA online portal.
