[Application & Leasing Process](https://help.nomadlease.com/shared-resources?hsLang=en#application-leasing-process) # What is Nomad's role in the leasing process? ### 🏡 Nomad’s Role in the Application Process #### **Screening for Eligibility** Nomad reviews each application to determine if it meets the eligibility requirements for **Guaranteed Rent**, a program designed to protect owners from missed payments. Our screening process includes: - A **soft credit check** (Vantage Score 4.0 — this does *not* affect your credit score) - **Identity verification** through facial scan and ID validation - **Eviction history check** - **Income and employment verification** - **Rental fraud screening** #### **Application Review & Processing** - We review applications for completeness and may reach out if additional details are needed. - Applications are typically processed within **1–3 business days**. - Once reviewed, applicants are categorized as **Eligible** or **Ineligible** for Guaranteed Rent. --- ### 👥 What Happens After Screening Once screening is complete: - **Nomad shares eligible applicants with the property owner** through their Owner Portal. - **The owner decides** which applicant they would like to move forward with. - Nomad does **not** make the final tenant selection — that decision always belongs to the owner. --- ### 📝 The Leasing & Move-In Process After an owner selects a tenant: - The **owner uses Nomad’s platform** to create and send the lease. - Once signed, the **owner self-manages the property** with the support of Nomad's tools and 3rd party partners. - **Nomad remains available for support**, but we do not handle day-to-day property management or lease enforcement. --- ### 💬 How Nomad Supports You Nomad is here to make the rental process smoother for both applicants and owners.
