NVM Woontoets

The NVM Woontoets is a tool specifically for NVM realtors to minimise risks. For example money laundering, tenants who fail to pay after getting a lease or are on the edge of bankruptcy towards debt restructuring. 

Protect your organisation by screening

Validata screens (potential) tenants to protect NVM realtors against fraud, non-payment, and even illegal practices. As a realtor, you only have to enter the name, telephone number and email address of the tenant. Validata then takes the work off your hands, including the communication about the screening with the (potential) tenant. We then invite the tenant and ask them to provide information. The screening is finally completed with a clear report.

Validata’s screening services

Fast and efficient

Our software makes the screening process fast and efficient due to, amongst others, a user-friendly design. 

Access anytime and anywhere

Our software is designed for mobile use. This gives tenants more freedom to go through their screening when and where it suits them. This flexibility ultimately benefits the turnaround time. 

Interim insights

It is possible to view the momentary progress of a screening. When a background check is completed, Validata creates a preliminary report with the results.

Transparent for realtor and tenant

The results of the screening are simultaneously offered to both the realtor and the tenant. By doing so, we try to offer a process that is as transparent and fair as possible.

Explanation of the background checks

Identity check

Validata checks the authenticity of the identity document, both on a national and an international level. In addition, the VIS registry is consulted to check whether the identity document has been reported stolen or missing.

Credit check

Validata checks information about possible ongoing payment issues, companies by name and address, civil law decisions and registration in the guardianship register.

PEP check, Sanction list, and Adverse media check

This check verifies registration in a Politically Exposed Persons list (PEP list) and sanctions lists. For this purpose, various, international lists are consulted worldwide. Media sources in which the person is mentioned are also included in the screening report.

Salary certificate

To verify the salary, the tenant must upload the three most recent pay stubs and one bank statement from his/her checking account where the salary deposit can be seen. If the tenant is not on payroll but self-employed, annual reports may be requested. If the tenant has no income from employment, but from retirement/state benefits/alimony/study funding, supporting documents will be requested. It is up to the realtor to review these documents.

Landlord declaration form

The landlord statement refers to a certificate of good conduct issued by the previous landlord. This declaration is only applicable when the previous living situation was a rental home. All types of living situations (living at home, renting or buying a house) are characterized as ‘correct’ in the report. Issuing a previous landlord statement is not mandatory for the tenant and should be assessed in terms of content by the realtor.

Employer’s statement

Validata requests the current employer’s information from the tenant. Subsequently, we digitally request an employer’s statement from the employer.

NVM Questions

In this check, specific housing questions are posed to the individual: based on a number of hard (verifiable) and soft (file-building) questions, possible risk factors are identified.

Company check

This check verifies the Chamber of Commerce number and conducts a credit check via data provider Dun & Bradstreet.
