What the Match Score looks at
aptari gives every listing a score from 0 to 100, built from four simple things:
- Income fit · whether your income comfortably covers the rent (most landlords look for about three times the rent).
- Dossier completeness · whether your profile is filled in and your required documents are uploaded: ID, salary slip and Betreibungsauszug.
- Listing rules · smoking and pets, only where the listing has a rule on them. Household size, residence status and how long you plan to stay do not count. Permit type is never read.
- Checked documents · which of your documents are checked, whether the names match and whether the Betreibungsauszug shows no open debt collections.
The more of these you meet, the higher your score.
What it does NOT do
- It does not predict who gets the flat. A landlord's choice comes down to things that are not in your data, like a personal impression at the viewing. The Match Score does not try to guess that.
- It does not judge you on who you are. Things like your nationality, religion, family status, age, gender, disability or whether you are pregnant are kept out of the score entirely. They simply are not used.
- It does not guess. The score is built only from your own information, so the same details always give the same score. There is no black box.
Same details in, same score out
Because the score is just your information measured against the listing, it is fully transparent. For every score you see the number and the facts behind it · which means you can fix a gap in your dossier and watch the score improve. The agency still makes the final decision; aptari just helps both sides see the fit clearly.
Why this is useful
- Before you apply: see whether you are a strong fit or a weak one, so you spend your effort on the flats you fit.
- To improve: see which part is holding you back and fix that first.
- For agencies: a tidy, ranked list of applicants instead of a pile of PDFs, so decisions are faster and fairer.
You always see the number and the facts behind your Match Score, and you can ask for full information about it, so nothing about it is a mystery.
