How to verify tenant income (and spot fake documents before they cost you)

AI-powered editing tools have made it easy for applicants to fabricate pay stubs, employment letters, and other income documents. For landlords, that means collecting paperwork is no longer enough to confirm whether a tenant can actually afford the rent. Bank-verified income solves this by pulling deposit data directly from the applicant's financial institution, replacing documents the applicant controls with data they can't alter.
