Fraud is a growing challenge across the rental industry, and operators of all sizes are looking for ways to strengthen screening without slowing down leasing. That is why we are excited to share that Esusu Identity Services (EIS), powered by Celeri, now integrates with Buildium.
Since Esusu acquired Celeri in 2025, Celeri’s fraud detection and verification capabilities have been embedded into Esusu’s broader identity, income, and fraud infrastructure for housing. Today, those capabilities power Income Verification and Identity Verification within Esusu Identity Services.
This integration allows property managers using Buildium to seamlessly add AI-powered income and identity verification to their existing application and tenant screening workflow. The result is a more informed screening process that helps teams save time, reduce fraud risk, and make faster decisions with greater confidence.
How the Buildium integration works
1. Document and identity collection within your existing workflow
Prospective renters complete their applications through Buildium, just as they normally would. After submitting an application, prospects receive an email from Esusu Identity Services with a secure, customized link where they can upload proof of income documents and complete identity verification.
Because this flow is connected to the Buildium application process, leasing teams do not need to manage a separate manual collection workflow outside their existing system.
2. AI-powered verification and fraud analysis
Esusu Identity Services is designed to ensure that documents and IDs are submitted in the right format and according to the property’s specific requirements.
Once submitted, our verification engine analyzes them in seconds for signs of fraud, including:
- Edited or falsified pay stubs and bank statements;
- Low-fidelity uploads such as screenshots, photos, and incomplete files;
- Identity documents that show signs of tampering;
- Mismatches between applicant information, ID details, and submitted documents.
This gives leasing teams a faster and more consistent way to identify risk before it turns into a costly move-in.
3. Results pushed back into Buildium
After the verification is complete, property managers receive email notifications so they can review findings promptly. The results are also pushed back into the Buildium application workflow, allowing teams to stay inside the platform they already use while benefiting from a more rigorous screening process.
Benefits of using Esusu Identity Services alongside Buildium
Our integration with Buildium offers several important benefits for operators and onsite teams.
More comprehensive screening
Traditional screening methods such as credit, background, and eviction history checks are no longer enough on their own. Income fraud has become more sophisticated, and each fraudulent approval can lead to thousands of dollars in lost rent, legal fees, and eviction-related costs.
By adding Income Verification and Identity Verification through Esusu Identity Services, operators can:
- Detect edited or falsified income documents that might otherwise pass manual review;
- Verify that an applicant is who they claim to be;
- Reduce the risk of fraudulent approvals before units are taken off the market;
- Protect residents, staff, and property operations with stronger front-end controls.
Greater operational efficiency
Applicants may upload an insufficient number of statements or provide low-quality files that require repeated follow-up.
That creates:
- More back-and-forth with applicants;
- More manual review for leasing teams;
- Slower leasing velocity;
- Less consistency across properties and staff.
Esusu Identity Services helps reduce that friction by enforcing document requirements upfront and guiding applicants toward acceptable submissions from the start.
Streamlined verification and faster decisions
Property managers often spend 20 to 30 minutes per application reviewing income documents. When fraud is suspected, the process can stretch into hours or days if teams need to chase down employers or investigate inconsistencies manually.
With Esusu Identity Services, property managers can:
- Review fraud signals in seconds;
- Verify income documents more confidently;
- Confirm applicant identity more efficiently;
- Move qualified applicants through the funnel faster.
That means less time spent investigating paperwork and more time focused on approved, qualified renters.
Built for a broader fraud and screening strategy
The Buildium integration is part of Esusu’s broader effort to make Esusu Identity Services available across major property management systems and leasing workflows.
With Esusu Identity Services, operators can build a more modern screening stack that combines:
- Income Verification for document fraud detection;
- Identity Verification for applicant identity confirmation;
- A workflow that fits inside the tools leasing teams already use.
This helps create a more trusted, efficient path from application to decision, without adding unnecessary complexity for staff or applicants.
