Rentpass
Built for the Greek rental market

Verified rental references.
Owned by the tenant.

Rentpass turns your rental history into a portable, cryptographically verified CV — anchored to your official AADE declarations. Landlords vet applicants with confidence, tenants control who sees their record, and nobody touches your data without your consent.

Always free — for both tenants and landlords. No credit card, no hidden tiers.

The problem

Both sides lose to information asymmetry.

Landlords get burned

  • Eviction takes 6–12 months; lost rent and utilities pile up.
  • ~80% of landlords own a single property — one bad tenant is catastrophic.
  • Current vetting (E1, ΤΕΙΡΕΣΙΑΣ, guarantor) shows financial state, not behaviour.

Reliable tenants get lumped in with the rest

  • Years of paying on time leave no portable record — every viewing starts from zero.
  • Foreign tenants and first-time renters have nothing Greek to show.
  • Landlords default to suspicion — and the polite, prompt tenants pay for it.

The solution

A verified, portable rental record — owned by the tenant.

  • Every reference bound to an AADE-registered tenancy.
  • Only the real lessor (verified by their ΜΗΤΡΩΟ) can submit one.
  • Tenants control who sees what — share links are time-limited and revocable.
  • Same engine works for first-time renters and 20-year veterans.

What actually happens at every Greek viewing

Both sides want the same thing — a deal with someone they can trust. Here's how it usually goes without Rentpass, and how it goes with.

Nice to meet you! Tell me a bit about yourself.

Landlord

I love the place — I'd really like to rent it.

Tenant
Two strangers, one apartment, a deal to make.

Why use Rentpass

Built specifically around how Greek rentals actually work, with the safety guarantees a GDPR-aware operator needs.

Verified, not opinions

References live on top of the state's own rental registry. We don't accept 'I rented from someone' — we accept 'AADE registered me as a tenant on this contract, here's the signed ΜΗΤΡΩΟ from a real lessor.'

Tenant-led, never a blacklist

You invite your previous landlords. You choose which references to share. You can revoke any share link instantly. Refusal to share is itself a signal — to you, not to the world.

A portable rental passport

Your record follows you across landlords, agencies, and cities. Build it once; reuse it for every flat you apply to. Especially powerful for digital nomads, foreign workers, and first-time renters establishing a track record.

Greek-state IDs, no shortcuts

Identity comes from AFM + ΜΗΤΡΩΟ — the same credentials Greek banks and notaries trust. No usernames you can fake, no Facebook-style "verification" that means nothing.

How it works

A reference travels through three actors and one cryptographic check. Here's the actual flow — top to bottom.

Rentpass reference submission flowSwim-lane diagram. Three actors top-to-bottom: Tenant uploads ΜΗΤΡΩΟ and AADE contract, invites a previous landlord by email. The landlord uploads their ΜΗΤΡΩΟ. Rentpass verifies the AFM is legitimate and listed on the contract.

TENANT
  1. 1

    Upload your ΜΗΤΡΩΟ

    AADE tax-registry certificate. We extract your AFM, hash it (HMAC-SHA256), and bind it to your account. The PDF is discarded immediately.

  2. 2

    Upload your AADE rental declaration

    The official contract for a past tenancy. We parse every lessor + tenant AFM and add the tenancy to your rental CV — only if your verified AFM is in the tenant list.

  3. 3

    Invite a previous landlord by email

    Enter their email. We generate a one-time link valid for 14 days and send it.

LANDLORD
  1. 4

    Landlord clicks the link & uploads their ΜΗΤΡΩΟ

    No signup, no password — the email token authenticates them. They upload their AADE ΜΗΤΡΩΟ so we can read their AFM.

  2. 5

    Trust-chain check

    We verify the AFM is legitimate (Greek mod-11 checksum) and appears as a lessor on the AADE contract you uploaded. Mismatch → silent rejection.

  3. 6

    Landlord writes the reference

    5-star rubric across rent, bills, property care, and communication. Optional comment.

TENANT
  1. 7

    Generate a share link (expires)

    From your dashboard, share your full rental CV or a single reference. Links are time-limited (14 days), revocable any time, and every view is audit-logged.

Security & privacy, written down

The product's whole point is to handle sensitive data responsibly. Here's what that means in practice.

AADE-anchored trust chain

Every reference is cryptographically tied to a state-registered tenancy. No anonymous reviews, no fake landlords.

AFMs hashed at rest

We never store your plain AFM. HMAC-SHA256 with a server pepper means even a DB dump leaks no tax IDs.

Zero file retention

Your uploaded ΜΗΤΡΩΟ and rental declaration PDFs are parsed in memory and discarded. We keep only the verified facts.

GDPR-clean by design

Tenant-led consent at every step. No public review boards. No retention beyond what's needed for the trust chain.

Time-limited share links

14-day default expiry. Revocable any time from your dashboard. Every view is audit-logged.

Audit trail of every event

AFM mismatch, share-link view, account changes — all written to a tamper-evident audit log you can request a copy of.

Frequently asked questions

The legal, technical, and product questions that come up most. If your question isn't here, ask us directly.

What exactly is Rentpass?

A platform for Greek tenants to build a verified rental CV. You invite past landlords to leave structured references, anchored to your official AADE rental declarations. You then share that CV — via a time-limited link — with prospective landlords when applying for a new flat.

Do landlords need an account?

No. Landlords leave references statelessly — they open the email invitation, upload their ΜΗΤΡΩΟ alongside the form, and submit. No signup, no password, no future obligations. Only tenants have accounts.

What do you keep from the PDFs I upload?

Only the verified facts: the hashed AFM, the rental dates, and the AADE declaration number — fields extracted from the declaration. The PDF file itself is parsed and immediately discarded. The property address, the rent amount, and the landlord's name are deliberately not stored, even though the parser sees them. We don't keep your ΜΗΤΡΩΟ or your rental contract.

How is my AFM stored?

Hashed. We compute HMAC-SHA256(your AFM, server pepper) and store only the resulting 64-character hash. The plaintext 9-digit AFM never lives in our database. Even a full database leak would not expose any AFM without also stealing the server pepper, which lives only in the API process's environment.

Is this legal under GDPR?

Yes — and it's the reason we're tenant-led, not a public review board. Lawful basis for processing is your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), data minimisation is built in (we keep only verified facts), retention is bounded by the share link lifetime, and you can revoke consent or delete your account at any time.

Can a tenant fake a reference?

Not in isolation. A reference can only be submitted by someone whose ΜΗΤΡΩΟ — a digitally signed AADE document — proves they hold an AFM listed as a lessor on a real contract. To fake a reference, the tenant would need a co-conspirator with a real Greek AFM willing to lie. That's the same vulnerability every reference system carries.

How is this different from public review sites?

Public review sites publish reviews about identifiable individuals without consent — which is why EU data-protection authorities have fined them repeatedly. Rentpass is the opposite: tenants own and curate their record, and reference data only moves with explicit per-share consent. We're not a blacklist.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. Account deletion removes your user record and all tenancies, references, share links, and invitations. The audit log retains the fact a deletion occurred (required for compliance) but not the data being deleted.

What does it cost?

Nothing — on either side. Tenants build and share their rental CV for free. Landlords view Tenant Reports for free. There are no per-vet fees, no subscription tiers, and no credit card required. We're keeping Rentpass free for both parties.

What is ΜΗΤΡΩΟ and why do you need it?

ΜΗΤΡΩΟ (Βεβαίωση Στοιχείων Φυσικού Προσώπου) is the AADE-issued tax-registry certificate that proves a citizen owns a given AFM. We use it to confirm identity at the boundary — once at signup for tenants, once per reference submission for landlords. We then discard the file.
