ABOUT

Why RentQual?

RentQual was created to solve a broken housing system—one where great tenants are denied simply because they don’t fit outdated models.

We built a platform to bring fairness, trust, and opportunity to the rental process.

 

Whether you're self-employed, just starting out, or rebuilding credit, RentQual verifies your readiness with real-world proof—not red tape.

We're backed by accredited APIs from companies like Plaid, Equifax, Checkr, and Truework, so every report holds weight.
