Verified Landlord Badge on GoRentiva — how to get one (and why it matters)

What the badge means

The green Verified Landlord badge on a GoRentiva listing tells prospective tenants three things:

1. The landlord's identity has been verified (Aadhaar / PAN).
2. The property ownership has been confirmed via a valid document.
3. The listing has been reviewed by a human (not just algorithm).

Why it matters — real numbers

Internal data from our first 3,000 listings shows:

• Verified listings get 2.3× more property views.
• 4.1× more enquiries per listing per week.
• Reduced tenant drop-off from "not sure if genuine" — the top rejection reason.

What you need to submit

1. Aadhaar (front + back)
2. PAN card
3. Any one of: Sale Deed / Allotment Letter / GPA / Property Tax Receipt / Latest Electricity Bill in landlord's name.
4. Selfie photo holding your Aadhaar for face-match.

Review timeline

Standard turnaround: 24-48 hours on business days. Faster if all documents are clear.

How to start

1. Log in to your landlord dashboard.
2. Click KYC & Verification in the sidebar.
3. Upload the 4 documents.
4. You'll see the green badge on all your listings once approved.

Common reasons for rejection

• Blurry document scans — always upload high-resolution.
• Name mismatch between Aadhaar and property document — attach a marriage certificate or affidavit if needed.
• Property document older than 5 years without ownership continuity proof.

The badge is free. It stays with your account across listings. And it is the single biggest lever you have to increase enquiries.
