As part of our commitment to creating a safe and trusted community, all new accounts go through a screening process before being approved. This process helps us ensure that users meet certain criteria needed to rent or list items on FriendWithA.
What does the screening process involve?
Our screening process may include:
- Verifying your ID
- Reviewing publicly available records related to criminal history, civil judgments, or financial activity (e.g. foreclosures or liens)
- Ensuring consistency of information submitted during signup
We understand this process can feel frustrating. Please know that a decision not to approve an account is not always tied to a single issue. It may be based on a combination of factors.
Why don’t you provide more specific reasons?
For privacy and security reasons, we don’t share full details of the screening criteria. This helps prevent misuse of the system and protects all members of the community.
