1.1 Background of the Study
Tenant screening is a critical aspect of property management that directly impacts landlords' ability to maintain profitable and well-managed properties. Traditionally, this process involves manual reviews of financial records, credit histories, employment verification, and personal references to evaluate the suitability of prospective tenants. However, this conventional approach is often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. Property management companies in Kaduna State have faced challenges ranging from inaccurate tenant evaluations to delays in the leasing process, which often lead to significant financial and reputational losses.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology, redefining industries with its ability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictive decisions with high accuracy. AI models, including machine learning algorithms, are increasingly being employed in tenant screening to optimize the process. These models can analyze large datasets, such as credit scores, rental histories, and behavioral patterns, to provide property managers with actionable insights about tenant reliability. The integration of AI in tenant screening systems is designed to reduce biases, ensure compliance with regulations, and improve decision-making accuracy.
In Kaduna State, property management companies are beginning to adopt AI solutions to address issues related to tenant selection. Despite these advancements, challenges remain. Concerns around data privacy, model transparency, and the cost of AI implementation are prominent, especially for smaller firms with limited resources. The lack of localized research on the effectiveness of these AI models in the Nigerian property market presents a significant gap that this study seeks to fill. By examining the application and impact of AI-enhanced tenant screening in Kaduna State, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on technology-driven real estate solutions.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Property management companies in Kaduna State face persistent challenges in tenant screening, leading to financial losses and disputes. Traditional screening methods often fail to provide comprehensive assessments, resulting in unreliable tenant selection. While Artificial Intelligence offers a promising alternative, its adoption in Kaduna State's real estate sector is relatively new and underexplored. There is limited empirical evidence on how effectively AI models can enhance tenant screening processes and mitigate associated challenges in this context. This research aims to address this gap by evaluating the impact of AI-enhanced tenant screening in Kaduna State property management companies.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of Artificial Intelligence models in enhancing tenant screening processes among property management companies in Kaduna State. The specific objectives are:
1.4 Research Questions
1.5 Research Hypotheses
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study provides valuable insights into the practical application of AI in tenant screening, offering empirical evidence that can guide property management companies in Kaduna State. It also contributes to the broader discourse on AI adoption in real estate, serving as a reference for policymakers, technology developers, and researchers.
1.7 Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on property management companies in Kaduna State, examining the impact of AI models on tenant screening. It does not explore other applications of AI in real estate or evaluate non-AI-based technological solutions. Limitations include potential biases in the data used for analysis and the availability of proprietary AI systems for assessment.
