What Is a Renter Scorecard?

The Renter Scorecard: Using AI to Predict Tenant Success Before the Tour

April 22, 20253 min read

For years, leasing agents have relied on tours to decide if a renter is a good fit. But what if you could know—before you even open the door—whether a prospect is likely to qualify and follow through?

Now you can. With Vix’s AI-powered Renter Scorecard, property managers and agents can screen, score, and prioritize leads automatically—using intelligent automation across voice, SMS, email, and chat.

What Is a Renter Scorecard?

  • A digital scoring model that evaluates leads based on custom criteria such as income, employment, credit score, rental history, move-in date, and more

  • Automatically calculates a lead score that predicts tenant success, reduces risk, and speeds up leasing cycles

  • Works across multiple channels to qualify leads before human follow-up is needed

Why Predictive Scoring Matters

  • Touring every lead is time-consuming and inefficient

  • Gut instinct often leads to bias or misjudgment

  • Leasing teams waste hours chasing renters who won’t qualify or convert

  • AI scoring allows you to focus on top-tier applicants who are truly ready to lease
