📉 High tenant turnover is one of the biggest headaches for property managers and landlords.
Every time a tenant leaves earlier than expected or defaults on rent, the cost is far more than just a broken lease: properties remain vacant, new advertising campaigns are required, legal processes may arise, and operational expenses increase.
Industry data shows that tenant turnover can rise by up to 40% when there is no rigorous screening process in place. The problem often lies not in demand, but in how tenants are selected.
The Problem: Poor Tenant Screening
When tenant screening is handled manually, several issues frequently occur:
-
Incomplete validation of financial information.
-
Subjective decision-making instead of data-driven analysis.
-
Delays that push the best candidates toward competitors.
-
No predictive analysis to identify risks of early exits or defaults.
The result: leases end prematurely, operating costs rise, and portfolio profitability takes a hit.
The Solution: Predictive Evaluation with AI
Artificial intelligence offers a smarter, faster alternative. By analyzing thousands of variables in just seconds, AI-powered models can:
✅ Assess each tenant’s risk level before contracts are signed.
✅ Detect patterns linked to payment defaults or early move-outs.
✅ Eliminate subjectivity and support data-driven decisions.
✅ Cut screening time from days to seconds.
