🕒  6 min read

When it comes to house rentals, trust is everything. You’re opening your door to someone new, or stepping into a stranger’s home for a visit. We get it — that’s a big deal.

If you’ve ever searched for a rental, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“What if the owner turns out difficult later?”
“What if I visit and feel unsafe or uncomfortable?”
“What if someone misuses my contact details after I enquire?”

These are real fears — and they stop many rentees from exploring better options. That’s exactly why Monk & Bear was built with your safety and privacy in mind from the very beginning.

1. Every Rentee is Verified

  • All rentees must complete ID verification before accessing addresses or visiting-times.
  • Government-issued ID is required (e.g. Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID)
  • Phone number is verified
  • Duplicate or suspicious entries are auto-flagged

This keeps bots, brokers, and bad actors out of the system. Unlike listing portals, Monk & Bear verifies all rentees before they get visit access.

2. Police Verification Support

  • Tenants are guided through police verification
  • Owners receive a verification copy on request
  • This adds legal confidence to the entire process

It’s optional — but strongly recommended.

3. No Random Calls or Messages

You won’t get spammed. You won’t be harassed.

  • No tenant gets your phone number
  • No rentee can call or message another rentee
  • All communication is controlled by Monk & Bear systems

If you’ve ever felt anxious or worried about listing your house online because of too many unwanted phone calls from strangers, then Monk & Bear has solved that problem.

4. House Visits That Are Safe & Structured

  • Visits happen only in pre-chosen 10-minute slots
  • You decide your availability — e.g. Sundays 10:30–10:40am
  • Visitors must show ID at the door
  • No unplanned visits or walk-ins
  • No direct conversation between rentees

It’s efficient, respectful, and designed to protect your time and space.

5. You Stay in Control — Always

  • Remove your listing anytime
  • Stop visits with one click
  • Switch between Visiting-On and Off
  • Ask for Monk & Bear help in case of concerns

Your data, your house, your rules.
