A great tenant profile is key to a rewarding rental experience, that is why Flow is making it easier than ever to show off just how great of a tenant you are with your tenant profile.

No more application forms when viewing apartments, no more tough negotiations when renewing your lease, no more waiting in line to get your dream home. With a strong tenant profile, the power sits with you!

We built Flow because we believe that great tenants should be rewarded, and in 2020 we’ll be upgrading your tenant profile features to ensure that Flow tenants have the most rewarding rental experience of all tenants.

What is your tenant profile?

Your tenant profile is your rating as a tenant, it lives in the Flow app and is updated every month. It’s a mix of your profile data and your behavioural data and it’s the single most important thing you can control as a tenant.

Your profile data is all the information you have loaded in your Flow app, like your address, your lease details, your landlord details etc. Your behavioural data is the activities you do on a monthly basis like pay rent, look after your home, complete your insurance check-ins and more.

Flow helps you keep all this tenant data in one place, so that when it comes time to renew your lease or get a new one, you have all your current and historical tenant information in one place. This makes it easy for landlords to see that you are the best tenant for their listing!

Why is your tenant profile important?

Your tenant profile is important because it’s your key to getting the best rental home, terms and rewards as a tenant. With an up to date tenant profile you will:

  • Save time because you can be pre-approved before viewing a listing
  • Get access to better homes with private listings and viewings
  • Get better terms when you renew your lease with your landlord
  • Store all your tenant data in one place, to easily share with potential landlords and agents
  • Save thousands of rands with the Flow rewards program, the better your profile the more discounts and rewards you get 👊

Where can you go to see your tenant profile?

We have tons of features and activities on the way, you’ll see these rolling out in the Flow app over the next 3 months. For now the best place to view your tenant profile data is to go to the SCORE tab in your app, and then tap OVERALL at the top of the screen. If you land on this page you’re in the right place…
