Application fraud is becoming more sophisticated—and the rise of artificial intelligence has changed the game entirely. From falsified images and altered documents to Credit Privacy Numbers (CPNs) and other deceptive tactics, fraudsters have more tools than ever to bypass traditional screening and verification processes.

Join Chris and Stephanie from Loebsack & Brownlee for an informative and practical course designed to help housing professionals recognize emerging fraud tactics, strengthen their application screening strategies, and understand how to legally respond when fraud is suspected. Learn how to move beyond basic prevention strategies and take proactive steps to protect your communities while navigating the legal considerations involved in fighting application fraud.

What You Will Learn:

  • Identify common types of application fraud and how fraudulent applications are evolving.
  • Understand how AI and emerging technologies are being used to create convincing fraudulent documents and identities.
  • Recognize red flags associated with falsified images, documents, identities, and Credit Privacy Numbers (CPNs).
  • Explore strategies for strengthening your property's application and identity verification processes.
  • Learn how to respond when fraud is suspected while maintaining consistent and legally compliant screening practices.
  • Understand the legal considerations involved in denying applications based on suspected fraud.
  • Learn practical ways to document and address fraudulent activity.
  • Discover strategies to help protect your property from being overwhelmed by increasingly sophisticated application fraud.

Who Should Attend:
This course is ideal for property managers, leasing professionals, compliance professionals, and other multifamily housing professionals involved in the application and screening process.
