How verification works

Verification is a process, not a badge.

A property is published as Verified on ArbiBase only after three checks: the owner's signed consent form, a Greenlight underwriting pass (estimated revenue at least 1.5 times the rent) and a city and ZIP rules check against primary sources. We re-check periodically, on a best-effort basis, so status can change. Verified is not a guarantee of legality or income.

Principles

Three rules we don't bend.

01

Consent is collected up front.

We don't ship a listing on assumption. Until the owner has signed our consent form, the property isn't published as Verified. A verbal or written okay is an early stage, not enough on its own.

02

Verification gets re-checked.

We re-check listed properties periodically, on a best-effort basis, with no fixed schedule. Status can change between checks. If a property no longer meets the checks, we may mark it under review, update it or remove it.

03

We are paid by operators only.

Landlords don't pay to be listed. Removing the listing fee is the only way verification can credibly say 'no' when a property fails.

The Process

Three checks. Then periodic re-checks.

No marketing exceptions, no relationship shortcuts. The steps below are what happens between an owner submission and a listing going live as Verified.

STEP 01V3 · DIGITAL CONSENT

Signed owner consent

The owner signs our consent form. Verbal (V1) and written (V2) okays are earlier stages and don't count as Verified.

We collect
  • Signed consent form (V3 Digital Consent)
  • Property details from the owner
  • Owner contact info
We check
  • Signed by the owner, or an agent who says they act for the owner
  • Open to leasing to a short-term or mid-term rental operator
  • Contact info is reachable
Common failures
  • Owner agreed verbally or in writing but hasn't signed
  • Owner declines to sign
  • Contact info unreachable
STEP 02GREENLIGHT

Greenlight underwriting

Estimated revenue has to be at least 1.5 times the rent.

We collect
  • Asking rent and lease terms
  • Market data for the area
  • Comparable listings
We check
  • Estimated revenue is at least 1.5x the rent
  • The estimate and its inputs are shown on the listing
Common failures
  • Estimated revenue under 1.5x the rent
  • Asking rent too high for the market
STEP 03CITY + ZIP

City and ZIP rules check

We record what the local rules say, as of the date we checked, on the listing.

We collect
  • City STR/MTR ordinances
  • Official city guidance
  • Rules that apply to the ZIP code
We check
  • Rules checked against primary sources
  • What we found is recorded as the listing's regulation record
  • The record is dated to the check
Common failures
  • Local rules don't allow the intended use
  • No new permits being issued in the area
STEP 04PERIODIC

Re-checks

Verification is a snapshot, not a permanent stamp. We re-check when we can; there is no fixed schedule.

We look at
  • Changes from the owner (consent, rent, terms)
  • Changes to city and ZIP rules
  • Operator-reported issues, if any
We check
  • The property still meets all three checks
  • Listing details still match
Common failures
  • Owner withdraws consent or sells
  • Rent or terms change
  • City rules change against the property
What it doesn't mean

Verified is a floor, not a guarantee.

Here's what a Verified status does, and does not, convey. It is not a guarantee of legality, income, approval or the property's condition.

Verified is
Verified is not
Signed owner consent (V3 Digital Consent). It is non-binding and the owner can withdraw it.
A lease, or a guarantee you'll be approved as a tenant.
A check of the city and ZIP rules, recorded as of the verification date.
A permit, license or legal opinion. Rules change; confirm them with the city.
A Greenlight pass: estimated revenue at least 1.5x the rent.
A forecast you can rely on, or an income guarantee.
A status that is re-checked periodically, on a best-effort basis.
A permanent status. A listing can lose verification at any point.
Operator-side only — landlords pay nothing.
A brokerage relationship. We don't represent either side.
Shown on the listing before you unlock: the Greenlight report, the regulation record and the lease terms.
A property inspection. We do not visit the unit.
A starting point for your own checks.
A review of HOA or building rules, unless the listing says one was done. Confirm those yourself.
