When flexibility and security matter most, the partnership between Hamilton May and simpl.rent provides an answer to the needs of today’s real estate market.
This solution not only removes unnecessary formalities but also protects the interests of both tenants and landlords—offering a fast, transparent, and fully remote rental process. Discover how smoothly the entire journey can unfold in the article below.

Landlords’ concerns and tenants’ struggles – what blocks a smooth rental process?

In 2024, over 60% of apartment owners in Poland encountered challenging situations with tenants. The most common issues included:

  • payment arrears
  • difficulty enforcing lease terms
  • property damage

Tenants, on the other hand, often face lengthy and uncomfortable verification procedures, intrusive questions about income, and a lack of transparency from landlords. All this can lead to frustration and delays in moving.

Benefits for Tenants

The Tenant Certificate simplifies and speeds up every rental formality while increasing the security of the entire process. This remote verification covers identity, income, and credit history, making moving in quick and hassle-free. Additional tenant insurance protects against unexpected events and makes managing rent payments easier.

  • Build a trustworthy profile: Increase landlord confidence and improve your chances of securing the property.
  • Protect privacy: Avoid disclosing sensitive financial details while still proving financial stability.
  • Accelerate the rental process: Automated, streamlined procedures help secure your dream home faster.
  • Assess financial capacity: Understand your rental affordability without risking cash-flow problems.

With these solutions, tenants can focus on settling into their new home without worrying about paperwork or unforeseen costs. The entire process is available online—perfect for those who value convenience and speed.

Benefits for Landlords

Simpl.rent services enable landlords to effectively screen tenants and secure financial protection, greatly reducing the risks of renting out a property. Owners can make confident decisions while minimizing bureaucracy.

  • Secure payments: Insurance guarantees regular rent inflows.
  • Reliable tenants: Thorough verification helps avoid problematic renters.
  • Time savings: A simplified process means less paperwork and administration.


Pre-screening tenants before signing a lease builds trust and significantly lowers the chances of complications during the tenancy. A streamlined process also saves both time and money.

Authenticity and transparency

Every step of verification is clear and available online, giving users real-time insight into their application status. This convenience eliminates confusion and misunderstandings.

How to start with simpl.rent

  1. Choose a property on the Hamilton May website.
  2. Contact an agent, who will send you a personalized simpl.rent verification link.
  3. Complete the simple online procedure - it’s quick and intuitive.
  4. Receive a Tenant Certificate or, as an owner, approve a tenant’s certificate.
  5. Sign the lease and manage all payments remotely.

How simpl.rent works step by step

  1. The landlord invites the tenant to start verification.
  2. The tenant undergoes a three-stage assessment (identity, income, credit history).
  3. A Tenant Certificate is issued and ready to present.
  4. Both parties sign the lease online, and payments are fully digital.
  5. All documentation and status updates remain accessible in real time.



Tenant verification process

Simpl.rent’s tenant check relies on a thorough financial analysis similar to banking standards—only much faster and entirely online.

       1. Income verification methods

The tenant can confirm earnings in two ways:
Logging in to online banking (via a secure connection) and sharing transaction history.Providing documents proving employment and income, such as an employer’s statement or salary confirmations.

       2. Rental affordability assessment

The system compares the tenant’s net income to the rent amount. If monthly earnings are at least twice the planned rent, the tenant receives a positive recommendation. Otherwise, the agent or landlord is informed—for example—that income is “below 1.5× rent.”

       3. Credit and payment history check

Simpl.rent reviews records of past financial obligations, evaluating reliability in a way similar to banks.

Data sources include:

  • Biuro Informacji Kredytowej (BIK)
  • Krajowy Rejestr Długów (KRD)
  • Związek Banków Polskich – BIG InfoMonitor
  • BIG ERIF debt register

This gives landlords a complete picture of a tenant’s financial situation while keeping the entire process transparent, fair, and highly automated.

Summary

The collaboration between Hamilton May and simpl.rent marks a forward-looking step in property rentals. Through innovative solutions, it delivers security, convenience, and time savings for both tenants and landlords -qualities that are invaluable in today’s fast-moving real estate world.
