Why Screening Matters: 3 Ways to Reduce Risk & Boost Occupancy
Now Available On Demand
After an unprecedented 2020, it’s essential for owners and operators to leverage what we’ve learned to further detect and mitigate risk.
With issues like eviction bans and slowing lease demand, identifying undesirable renters is more important than ever—and with the rise of identity theft during the pandemic, the concern of fraud loss and whom you allow to move into your properties has been pushed to the forefront.
It’s time to adapt your screening model to the new economy to help detect and mitigate risk and boost occupancy.
Join RealPage® SVP of Data Science Rich Hughes and SVP of Screening Mike Mauseth for the webcast, Why Screening Matters: 3 Ways to Reduce Risk & Boost Occupancy, as they discuss key themes for operators to consider and share what leaders in apartment operations have discovered, as well as how they have been able to improve occupancy and reduce bad debt with RealPage® Screening solutions in place.
This webcast will cover:
- An introduction to AI Screening and Identity Verification
- How AI Screening can significantly reduce risk by assessing the ability to pay with the willingness to pay
- The cost of fraudulent applications
- Success stories of clients using both AI Screening and Identity Verification—taking in more people without taking on more risk
- How these solutions have helped clients mitigate risks, reduce bad debt and increase occupancy levels

Rich Hughes first entered the data revolution with apartment owner/operators AMLI and Archstone for over a decade, and is now head data scientist with RealPage. Hughes believes that today’s winners in complex, asset-intensive, service-based industries—from Amazon to apartments—have discovered the operational trifecta: over-delivering on promises while keeping the operation streamlined and affordable. He spends his days creating centralized command and control capacity for apartment operators, mainly regional managers, to streamline their operations through better and faster decision-making. He does this by analyzing data to predict outcomes, giving apartment operators prescriptive recommendations that are mathematically solvent and intelligence that is continually learning.
