Who most often uses sprove

Private landlord
1 room/ apartment/ house for rent
This type of landlords usually rents out 1 house or room for long-term periods. Often they rent out part of the house in which they live. That's why they care not only about the payment being on time, but also to the personal qualities of the tenant.
Experienced landlord
2-4 rooms/ apartments/ houses for rent
This type of landlords usually rents out several rooms in 1 house or have 2 houses for rent. They are often faced with a change of tenants and the need to look for new ones (especially for renting rooms).
Landlord-company
5+ rooms/ apartments/ houses for rent
This type of landlord is a company that owns a large number of apartments and houses for rent. Due to the large number of houses, they are almost always in search of new tenants. They are often met with late payments, problems with non-payment or eviction of tenants.

What benefits you get by checking potential tenants with sprove

Better and cheaper than ordinary credit checks
It's not a secret that for almost the whole of 2020, credit reports contain data from the tax report for 2018. Unlike other credit rating agencies, sprove verifies real-time salary and income data. We understand that landlords only want to know the answer: yes or no. They don't want to understand the credit scale and think which credit score is good, which is not, and how this correlates with the tenant's ability to pay. That's why you get the most relevant result. At a lower price.
Choose only tenants with ability to pay
You indicate the monthly rent and receive confirmation of solvency of each verified tenant. You can see which of the tenants are financially capable of paying rent, who is not, and who hasn't been passed the verification process yet. You just have to decide which one to choose.
See a list of potential tenants for all your rental ads in one place
Do you have several rental advertisements? Great! You can create a verification link for each of your rental ads and see all potential tenants with their verification status.
Reduce the number of troubled tenants
Checking the tenant's solvency avoids fraud from a dishonest tenant.
It's important for landlords not only to assume that the tenant is able to pay, but also to confirm this information. After tenant's verification you see that tenant has income or salary to pay a deposit and rent.
Protect yourself from damage and eviction problems with your tenant
With sprove, you not only see that the tenant has enough salary to pay the rent, but you can also request a recommendation from the past landlord. You can evaluate the current rental experience and refuse those who had problems with eviction or compensation for damage.

What people say about sprove

What questions landlords ask most often

What is a sprove?
Sprove is a solvency verification service that helps
  • landlords find a great tenant,
  • tenants stand out among many other tenants to get a great rental offer.
How does sprove work?
Sprove helps the landlord to check the solvency of potential tenants.
To do this, the landlord follows the simple steps:
  1. register on sprove.me (free);
  2. create the first verification link in a personal account (free);
  3. add a verification link to the rental ad (e.g, on finn.no) or send the link in direct messages to a potential tenant;
  4. receive a notification after the tenant has completed the solvency check;
  5. select the most pleasant person from the verified list;
  6. deactivate the verification link after signing a rental agreement.
What is the difference between sprove and ordinary credit check?
5 benefits distinguish sprove from ordinary credit check:

  1. sprove verifies salary and income data in real time, while an ordinary credit check shows data from the last year (or even the year before last). We understand that landlords want to see the current financial situation of the tenant, rather than last year. That's why we provide more relevant and accurate information.
  2. sprove analyzes the current amount and regularity of rental payments for each tenant. This ensures that the tenant has a good rental history (if exists) at the moment.
  3. For sprove, tenant's financial data protection is priority №1. That's why we provide only the result of the verification to the landlord: whether a potential tenant fits the criteria for a rental ad or not. We don't share any piece of financial sensitive information.
  4. Sprove provides easy-to-understand results, and not just a credit score. We understand that landlords only want to know the answer: yes or no. They don't want to understand the credit scale and think which credit score is good, which is not, and how this correlates with the tenant's ability to pay.
  5. All information in one place. Sprove provides not only result, but also a service where landlords can see the list of potential tenants for all their rental ads in one place.
Should I have a company to rent my own property or can I use the service as a private landlord?
Sprove provides service for both types of landlords: private landlords (individuals) and companies. You can choose your type when you save your billing settings:
  • as a private landlord, you indicate your name;
  • as a landlord-company, you indicate information about the company.
Where can I see which of the tenants passed the solvency check?
After registration on sprove.me you get an access to your personal landlord account. On the dashboard you can see information about:
  • all your properties with unique verification links;
  • the verification status of potential tenants for each property.
How relevant and accurate is the information to check the tenant's solvency?
sprove verifies salary and income data in real time, while an ordinary credit check shows data from the last year (or even the year before last). We understand that landlords want to see the current financial situation of the tenant, rather than last year. That's why we provide more relevant and accurate information.
Also, sprove analyzes the current amount and regularity of rental payments for each tenant. This ensures that the tenant has a good rental history (if exists) at the moment.
How long does the verification process take?
Sprove provides instant results after the tenant has completed the verification. The landlord receives a notification when the check is done.
How long is the verification result valid?
sprove verifies salary and income data in real time. That's why you can be 100% sure of the accuracy of the result within a month (30 days). Usually this time is enough to find a great tenant.
How can I deactivate the verification link when I signed an rental agreement with a new tenant?
You can see and manage activity status of your properties on dashboard at your personal landlord account. Once you have signed a rental agreement with a new tenant, deactivate the verification link for this property.
Even if you forget to delete your rental ad on some 3rd-party services, the link will not be active, and you will not be charged.
Do other landlords or tenants have access to my information?
For sprove, financial data protection is priority №1. That's why we provide only the result of the tenant's verification to the landlord: whether a potential tenant fits the criteria for a rental ad or not. We don't share any piece of financial sensitive information.
In simple words, the landlord can see the following information about his potential tenants:
  • verification status (✓ or ✗);
  • name;
  • verification date;
  • validation deadline.
The tenant can see the following information about potential landlords:
  • name of landlord's property (which the tenant wants to rent and for which he is passing a solvency check).
How do you protect data?
At sprove, we use the same security and encryption measures as the main government, military and banking institutions. We follow the highest industry standards to ensure the safety of sensitive financial information of our customers. We also partner with industry experts to evolve and improve our security.

To protect, store and process information, we use the services of leading providers:

Do I have to pay immediately upon registration?
No. You start using sprove absolutely free. Registration and sending / copying the verification link is free for you.
How much does sprove cost?
sprove trusts its landlords. That's why we don't ask you to make an advance payment, but send an invoice at the end of the month.
You pay only for the number of tenants who go through the verification process:
  • 1-9 tenants - 29 kr / check;
  • 10-20 tenants - 25 kr / check;
  • 21 or more tenants - 19 kr / check.
When is a charge incurred?
Payment is charged at the end of each month. You receive an invoice: by email or you can download it in your personal account. You have 14 days to pay.
Can you guarantee that the verified tenant will be solvent in a year?
Oh, how we would like to be able to predict the future and ensure that neither the tenants nor the landlords will change the situation in a year =) Unfortunately, we don't have such a superpower.
But we guarantee that we verify the relevant and up-to-date tenants' data (not last year, as in the credit report). You can also send a verification link to your tenant again in a year to make sure that the tenant is still solvent. You can choose how often to check your tenants.
