Verification for tenants

A verified profile shows hosts that you're a serious candidate. It really boosts your chances of a match. Hosts respond much faster to profiles that are complete and trustworthy.

What is verification?

Verification at Hospi Housing simply means your profile is complete and trustworthy. Unlike some other platforms, we do not require an ID upload. We verify your profile based on:

• Email confirmation: You'll receive a confirmation link when you register
• Complete profile: About yourself, your study or work, and what you're looking for
• Profile photo: A clear photo where your face is clearly visible

Verification steps

1. Confirm your email: Click the confirmation link in your welcome email
2. Complete your profile: The more complete, the better. Tell hosts who you are, what you do, and what kind of living situation you're after
3. Upload a profile photo: Use a recent, clear photo. No group photos, no logos
4. Add preferences: Let hosts know what you're looking for in terms of location, budget, and type of room

Benefits of a verified profile

• Verification badge: A visible checkmark on your profile that builds trust
• Higher visibility: Verified profiles are viewed more often by hosts
• Faster responses: Hosts respond sooner to candidates who've taken their profile seriously
• Better matches: The more you share, the better we can match you

Tips for a strong profile

• Write a personal description: who are you, what are your hobbies, what are you like as a housemate?
• Mention your study or work, since hosts want to know what you do during the day
• Be honest about your expectations, it saves disappointment later
• Ask a previous host or housemate for a reference if you have one
