For Landlords
Tenant screening that respects the OHRC
AI-assisted application review focused on the signals the LTB and the Ontario Human Rights Code consider legitimate — income, references, payment history. Compliant by design.
A complete picture from one application
Each application aggregates documents, references and verification into a single profile. The AI summarises strengths and risks — never flagging protected characteristics.
- Income confirmation from pay stubs and bank statements
- Verified landlord and employer references
- Self-reported and verified rental history
- Optional credit and identity verification
Designed around the Human Rights Code
Ontario landlords cannot use family status, citizenship, race, age or receipt of public assistance to refuse an applicant. Nest Mate’s decision report is engineered to surface income-and-history signals only.
- No proxy signals like postal-code stigmatisation
- Public-assistance income counted equally with employment
- Family-status and citizenship fields suppressed in AI input
- Audit trail of every decision factor — defensible at the LTB
- Income to rent ratio
- Verified references
- Payment history
- Rental tenure
- Family status
- Citizenship
- Age
- Public assistance
Faster decisions when tenants arrive with a Passport
Applicants who already keep a Tenant Passport on Nest Mate arrive pre-verified — pay stubs, government ID and prior-tenancy references are attached the moment they apply. Your decision report fills itself in instead of waiting on follow-ups.
- Income, employment and references pre-attached on apply
- Document verification badges carry over from prior tenancies
- One-tap attach — no email back-and-forth for missing files
- The tenant controls exactly what each landlord sees
