Why military renting is different

The obstacles service members face

PCS moves | renting in a new state

Landlords are skeptical of remote applicants. A Settl Verified Passport gives you a fully verified digital profile you can share before your move date.

BAH and military pay not on standard pay stubs

Settl bypasses pay stubs entirely. We verify income from direct deposits into your bank. Including BAH, basic pay, and special pays.

VA loans don't apply. You're renting

VA benefits help with buying, not always renting. Settl gives you a verification credential landlords understand even if they've never rented to a service member before.

Thin civilian credit profile

Many service members have thin civilian credit histories. Settl runs a soft pull (VantageScore 4.0 via TransUnion) — zero score impact. Income and identity are verified directly from source systems.

Questions from military renters

Does Settl work with BAH and military pay?

Yes. Settl detects income from bank deposits. BAH, base pay, hazard pay, and other military compensation all show up as deposits. We do not require W-2s or pay stubs.

I'm PCS'ing and need to find housing before I arrive. Can Settl help?

Yes. That's one of the main use cases. Landlords can view your fully verified Settl profile online. You share your code, they confirm your income and identity, and can approve you remotely before your move date.

I'm deployed and my spouse needs to rent on my behalf. How does Settl work in that situation?

The person whose income is being verified (you) needs to connect their bank and verify identity. If your spouse has POA and a separate income, they can get their own Settl Verified Passport. Contact us if you have a specific deployment scenario.

My credit is thin because I've been on base. Will that hurt me with Settl?

Settl runs a soft pull credit check (zero score impact). Thin credit from military service is noted, not penalized. Verified bank income and biometric identity carry significant weight. A credit freeze can be temporarily lifted for a soft pull.

Do you work with VA-approved housing or Section 8 vouchers?

Settl is a private income verification tool. It works alongside any housing program. The landlord gets a verified income + identity report. It does not replace VA housing programs but can complement them by giving landlords additional confidence.

Serving your country shouldn't make renting harder.
