Protect yourself
from the danger
of rental scams

liv.rent employs strict, multi-layered verification processes to ensure total safety on our platform. Here’s how we verify landlords:

1. As part of the sign-up process, we verify phone numbers through carrier verification and email addresses through a confirmation link.

2. We also request that landlords submit both a piece of valid, government-issued photo ID, which one of our team members manually matches to a user-uploaded selfie. Landlords can only post listings on liv.rent once they have been verified.

3. For property managers, brokers, Realtors, or businesses, we verify that they possess the applicable license.

1. Landlords can verify their property by securely uploading documentation that proves their ownership of the listed property, like land title documents or property tax forms.

2. We mail a postcard containing a one-time code to the listed property’s address. Landlords must enter this code on liv.rent to complete the verification process.

For listings that aren’t verified by either of these methods, landlords are sent an SMS code which they must enter online before their listing is posted. Listings verified in this way will have a “Not Verified” warning.
