What is VERO?
VERO is a leasing application software that allows you to apply with confidence and provide transparency and security in the information you share during the leasing application process.
Your application will take you through the steps required by the property to which you're applying so that you can share your personal details, your employment and income information, and complete any background and credit checks required - all in one secure location.
What to expect when filling out your application
While each property has a unique version of this process based on their policies, requirements, and local regulations, most properties will have some combination of these steps for you to complete
