When renting out real estate, it is important to find a suitable tenant. Among other things, creditworthiness plays a major role here. The digital application folder we have developed is a great help for landlords and tenants. Our partner ohne-makler uses our service for this reason. Managing Director Hendrik Richter gives four good reasons for this, which we are happy to list for you.

Ohne Makler means: it has to be simple
The company focuses on self-marketing. Private owners should be able to sell or rent their property without an estate agent. To this end, ohne-makler publishes its customers’ listings on many different real estate portals and offers a range of helpful services from floor plan preparation to valuation. An important approach here is: it has to be simple.
Hendrik Richter explains: “Our services are designed to enable private sellers and landlords to market their property professionally and efficiently, but without an estate agent’s commission. An important factor in letting is the selection of applicants. The digital application folder from rentcard is an important component that we have integrated into our system. This helps both sides: Landlords and prospective tenants.”
Reason 1: clear credit rating without Schufa information
The most important reason: The digital application folder contains all the essential details about your creditworthiness. Among other things, it includes a certificate of no rent arrears, proof of income and a credit report. This is realized via a secure query of account movements. In this way, Schufa is also kept out of the picture.
Hendrik Richter explains: “Many of our customers on both sides have reservations about Schufa. We solve this by integrating rentcard‘s digital application folder. This reduces the hurdle of data release and creates trust between landlords and prospective tenants. In addition, the most important key financial data is included and presented very clearly. This helps when comparing applications.”
Reason 2: simple identity check
Another reason for the digital application folder is identity verification. The data is also collected in an uncomplicated manner. Interested parties do not have to use a Post-Ident procedure or authentication via video call. This simple and quick identity check is an argument for ohne-makler to use the service.
Reason 3: secure data
The digital application folder offers data security. Hendrik Richter emphasizes: “It is very important to us that all personal data is stored in compliance with data protection regulations. This applies in particular to financial data. At this point, rentcard offers a first-class service with encrypted, secure and legally compliant queries and the use of servers in our own country.”
Reason 4: everything in one file, the rentcard application folder
Prospective tenants are often faced with the task of having to compile a lot of data from different sources. This usually includes at least the self-disclosure and the most recent payslips. With the digital application folder, they can bundle this data – without the need for a scanner – and send it to the landlord in a single file. This also applies to additional documents that can be integrated into the folder on request. According to Richter, this means more convenience for both sides and a simple exchange of relevant information.
The application folder is part of the rental profile of ohne-makler

We are pleased that ohne-makler has recognized the advantages of our application folder. The company has integrated it as an option in the rental profile. Apartment seekers can easily create the file in just a few minutes and use it for as many advertisement requests as they like. This has another advantage, as Hendrik Richter points out: “In our experience, landlords often select prospective tenants who send extensive data with their application. The digital application folder therefore helps both sides to find each other quickly and easily.”
