1. Application Accuracy & Identity Verification
By submitting this application, you certify and warrant that all personal data, contact information, intended use, and employment or business information provided are completely truthful, accurate, and current.
Identity Checks: SafeRent and the host reserve the right to verify government identification (National ID / Passport) and contact numbers prior to signing the lease agreement.
Non-Binding Application: Submitting a rental request does not guarantee tenancy. Tenancy is only confirmed upon landlord acceptance and contract execution.
Prohibition of Fraud: Misrepresenting identity, impersonating another person, or providing fraudulent financial records will result in immediate rejection and permanent account revocation.
2. SafeRent Verified Rent & Escrow Payment Policy
To eliminate rental fraud, fake landlord scams, and unauthorized middleman fees, all rental payments associated with this property must be processed exclusively through SafeRent’s authorized digital checkout.
Official Channels: Payments must be executed via official Mobile Money (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money), Visa/Mastercard, or verified bank transfer within SafeRent.
Strict Cash Ban: You must never hand physical cash or send unrecorded private transfers to landlords, agents, or caretakers. SafeRent provides zero scam protection and cannot recover funds paid outside the platform.
Escrow Move-In Protection: Your initial rent payment is held securely in escrow. Funds are not disbursed to the host until you have inspected the property and verified successful key handover on your scheduled move-in date.
Transparent Electronic Receipts: Every transaction generates an immutable digital receipt recorded in your tenant dashboard.
3. Security & Construction Deposits
Security and construction deposits exist solely to protect the physical condition of the property and settle any unpaid utility bills at the conclusion of tenancy.
Deposit Refundability: All security deposits are 100% refundable at the end of the tenancy agreement within seven (7) business days following mutual check-out inspection.
Deduction Criteria: Deductions may only be made for verified damages beyond standard fair wear and tear, or unpaid utility bills directly accumulated during your tenancy period.
Proof of Deduction: Landlords cannot withhold deposits arbitrarily. Any claim for deductions requires itemized repair quotes and photographic evidence reviewed by SafeRent.
