Short-term rentals
Protect each stay before it starts
Checkr helps short-term rental platforms screen guests and hosts in real time, catching fake identities and surfacing relevant criminal records. The result: fewer incidents, fewer chargebacks, and trust at scale.
Bad bookings damage more than property
Property damage, fraud, and safety incidents not only affect operational costs, but also drive away the users who fuel your growth. Checkr flags identity and criminal risk in one real-time API, so you can protect customers and properties without adding friction. Guests who feel safe book more. Hosts who feel safe list more.
