Step by step
- 1Initial Enquiry & Application: Collect basic details from prospective tenants, including full name, contact information, and desired move-in date. A brief application helps gather initial requirements.
- 2Identity Verification: Request valid government ID proof such as Aadhaar. Verify the authenticity of the document. ManagR’s Aadhaar-based KYC streamlines this with a tenant selfie verification.
- 3Background and Reference Checks: Confirm employment or student status. If applicable, contact previous landlords or personal references to assess tenancy history and behavior. Always obtain tenant consent first.
- 4Aadhaar-based KYC & Digital Agreements: Use ManagR for real Aadhaar-based KYC. Tenants snap a selfie and their Aadhaar card. Generate e-stamped rental agreements directly from the ManagR dashboard, and both parties e-sign instantly via Aadhaar OTP. This ensures a court-valid document without notary visits.
- 5Rent and Deposit Collection: Once the agreement is signed, collect the security deposit and first month's rent. ManagR helps track payments, sends automated WhatsApp reminders with UPI links, and automatically reconciles payments.
- 6Move-in & Onboarding: Hand over keys. ManagR allows owners to add new tenants, assign them to a specific bed, and set up recurring rent schedules, all tracked live on the property map.

Where Manual Verification Still Has an Edge
- Professional background-check agencies can run deeper checks, including criminal record screening, that go beyond identity verification alone.
- In-person reference calls sometimes surface honest details a landlord is hesitant to put in writing.
- For high-value properties, a paid third-party verification service adds a layer of independent scrutiny beyond any single software platform.
