Collect the details
The applicant declares each pet with breed, weight, and documentation in the same application flow.
Rental pet screening
Every pet and ESA, by the book.
Findigs validates pets and handles ESA and service-animal requests in line with fair housing guidance, with every outcome clearly documented and defensible.
The problem
ESA rules are easy to get wrong.
Mishandle an assistance-animal request and you invite a fair-housing complaint, while fake ESA letters and unverified pets slip through.
The Findigs answer
Pets and their documentation.
Findigs collects each pet's details and documentation in the same applicant flow, validated alongside the rest of the screen.
Compliance
Assistance animals, handled fairly.
Assistance-animal and ESA requests route into a separate lane handled under fair housing guidance, never treated as pets.
How it works
How pet verification runs.
Underwriting
Pet policy feeds the decision.
Validated pet records flow into policy and criteria, where your pet rules become part of the decision and ESA handling carries through.
Where it fits
Where pet verification fits in screening.
FAQ
Pet and assistance-animal questions
How does Findigs handle ESA and service-animal requests?
Findigs handles ESA and service-animal requests separately from pet policy under fair housing guidance, so they are never treated as pets.
Can operators set their own pet policy?
Yes. Breed, weight, count, and supporting-documentation requirements are operator-tunable inside policy and criteria, and every change is versioned in the audit trail.
Is this compliant with fair housing rules on assistance animals?
Findigs handles ESA and service-animal requests under fair housing, not the pet policy. Every step is logged in the audit trail so the result holds up to scrutiny.
