Solving Systemic Problems with Risk Mitigation Technology

Across the country, renters and property owners are facing the same stubborn challenge: the approval process. For many qualified renters, outdated screening criteria and economic realities create barriers to housing. For property teams, those same challenges can mean higher vacancy rates, inconsistent cash flow, and growing risk.

In this episode of Tiff Talks Tech, I sit down with Jake Zachariah, VP of Marketing at OneApp, to unpack the systemic issues behind rental approval challenges—and explore how risk mitigation technology can be part of the solution. We’ll talk about the ripple effects these barriers have on communities, the stigma around so-called “risky renters,” and how tools like OneApp’s lease guarantee can work hand-in-hand with fraud prevention technology, such as Umbrello, to create a rental process that’s fair, secure, and financially sustainable for everyone involved.

If you’ve ever wondered how technology can both protect properties and expand housing access, this conversation is for you.
