Safekey verifies renters who don’t fit the credit-score box, and shows landlords exactly who they’re renting to — so good people get homes and good landlords get paid.
Trust between a landlord and a renter is built on a credit score that newcomers don’t have yet — and that landlords can’t see behind. Both sides lose.
Newcomers arrive able to pay rent, but a thin or empty Canadian credit file gets them rejected — or forced into oversized deposits and exposed to rental scams.
Independent landlords screen applicants they can’t fully read, then carry the cost of arrears and months of Landlord and Tenant Board delays if it goes wrong.
Bank-grade identity and income checks through secure open banking. No stacks of documents.
A portable Verified Rental Passport and Trust Score that landlords can actually rely on.
Rent flows securely between you and your landlord, recorded and verified every cycle.
On-time rent is reported to Equifax Canada, turning every payment into local credit history.
We’re onboarding a small group of landlords and renters now. Tell us who you are and we’ll be in touch to set you up.
Thanks — we’ve got your details and we’ll be in touch shortly about getting you set up. Questions in the meantime? Email support@safekeyrentals.ca.
We’re running an early pilot in Ontario with a small group of landlords and renters. Joining now means you help shape the product and get set up first.
Safekey charges a small per-transaction fee — a percentage for renters and a percentage for landlords, each tied to the protection and tools that side receives. We’ll walk pilot members through the details before anyone commits.
Instead of relying on a Canadian credit history, Safekey confirms identity and income directly through secure open banking, then builds a Trust Score from that real-time picture. Newcomers get a fair read from day one.
