FAQs

Can I turn it off for just one tenant?

The setting belongs to the lease. Review each tenant’s proof separately.

What if a tenant already uploaded proof?

Open Review policy and history and check the current version before requesting another document.

Does enabling the requirement buy insurance?

No. The tenant obtains coverage separately. Rentari stores the proof for review.
