Pre-screening and qualification of potential tenants

Purpose

1. Automating the pre-screening and qualification of potential tenants for mobile home parks ensures a streamlined, consistent, and fast evaluation of applicant suitability.

2. Automated systems extract, score, and validate vital data (income, background, rental history), eliminating manual bottlenecks and reducing human bias, while allowing rapid response and compliance with corporate tenant requirements.

3. The purpose is to enable corporate-level oversight, consistent qualification across multiple sites, and expedite onboarding for park operations in the Parks & Campgrounds/Mobile Home Park sector.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automate whenever a rental inquiry is submitted via web forms, listing portals, SMS, or social media ads.

2. Trigger on receipt of application documents by email, upload, or API post.
