Checking a tenant before a lease is concluded, by a single tax number: company status, signs of a shell company, court cases and debts, director and founders. The passport of the guarantor and the signatory — with no manual entry, checked against the databases. Before you hand over the keys and take the deposit.
Russian software register No. 19972 · 152‑FZ
The law sets no separate duty to check a tenant. But the Civil Code sets the form and registration of the contract and the rules on the security deposit and the guarantee. Both work only if the tenant is a real company and there is a solvent person behind it.
NeuroVision collects data on the tenant and the people behind it before the contract is signed. The lease terms, the size of the deposit and the decision to let the premises remain with you.
Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Arts 609, 651, 433 (para. 3), 619.
Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Arts 381.1, 361–363, 367.
115‑FZ, Art. 5, Art. 6.
Each property has its own point of checking: the tenant's application, signing the contract, taking the deposit, renewal, consent to sublease. Your risk sets the checks — NeuroVision runs only the ones you need.
The tenant sends its details and a draft contract — you get an answer from every register. Is the company alive, who stands behind it, are there debts and account freezes, what the guarantor is liable with and who will come to sign.
Status in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Individual Entrepreneurs: is it in liquidation, when it was registered, who the director and founders are. Commercial court cases, including bankruptcy, and debts to the budget.
Most often enabled:
A nominee or serial director and tax authority decisions to freeze accounts. A shell company is more often given away by its director than by an extract.
Most often enabled:
Bankruptcy, commercial court cases and tax arrears — by tax number, with no namesakes. The Rosfinmonitoring list, sanctions and the register of foreign agents — by full name.
Most often enabled:
The guarantor's passport is recognised from a photo. Enforcement proceedings, bankruptcy and tax debts show whether there is real money behind the guarantee. With the guarantor's consent.
Most often enabled:
The representative's passport is recognised with no manual entry, and anti-fraud looks for traces of editing. Passport validity and wanted status — against the databases. You check the power of attorney yourself.
Most often enabled:
Foreign founders and the director — against the OFAC, EU, UK and UN lists and in compliance PEP screening. Foreign nationals' documents are recognised.
Most often enabled:
The check fits between the tenant's application and signing the contract: the tax number from the application, the passports of the people behind the contract, a decision under your rules. Clean tenants go on to the contract, disputed ones — to a lawyer or the security service.
The tax number from the application is sent from your CRM or entered in the web account. The guarantor and the representative photograph their passport via a link — the fields are recognised and go into the contract card with no retyping.
From the register, the director and founders are pulled in by tax number. Each is checked for nominee status, bankruptcy, debts, watchlists and sanctions; the guarantor — for enforcement proceedings and bankruptcy.
For each check — “passed”, “failed” or “not enough data”, the source and the records found. A dated report goes into the tenant's card; whether to let the premises, ask for a guarantee or refuse is your decision.
The tenant works in your premises, and the law ties some of its violations to whoever provided those premises. A check before the contract does not remove liability, but it shows a company you should not give retail space or an address to. For trade violations — alcohol without a licence, counterfeits, sales without registration — the seller is liable; NeuroVision does not check the tenant's licences and permits.
A market manager is liable under Art. 18.16 of the Administrative Offences Code if it provided a place or premises to a company that uses foreign nationals' labour illegally: a fine for a legal entity of 450 000 to 800 000 ₽ per worker or suspension of activity for up to 90 days. From 3 November 2026 the article is amended by Law No. 294‑FZ — check whether it applies to your retail property.
If foreign nationals actually live in the premises with no legal grounds, questions will arise under Art. 18.9 of the Administrative Offences Code: providing housing and other services to such people — a fine of up to 500 000 ₽ for an organisation. A lease of non-residential premises does not allow residence — it is worth writing this condition in and monitoring it.
The fire safety law holds both the owner and the user of the property responsible. How liability is split between you and the tenant is set by the contract — and it will be performed by a company you have checked or not.
The company takes a letter of guarantee, registers at your address and never appears in the premises. The tax authority may check the address, and the tenant will get an entry on unreliable data — the questions will remain for your property. A nominee director gives away such a company before the letter.
Most often this is the tenant's director or participant. Their passport is recognised from a photo, validity is confirmed against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, and enforcement proceedings, bankruptcy and tax debts show whether there is money behind the signature. The check is carried out with the guarantor's consent: it is worth obtaining together with the guarantee contract.
The director signs the contract without a power of attorney, everyone else — under a power of attorney from the company. The representative's passport is recognised with no manual entry, and validity and wanted status are checked. Who issued the power of attorney, for what term and with what authority — verify with the director and in the power of attorney register.
A Russian company may have a foreign participant or manager. They are checked against the OFAC, EU, UK and UN sanctions lists and in compliance PEP screening. Foreign nationals' documents are recognised automatically — with no retyping of Latin script.
A person with a foreign passport needs a set of their own: the Rosfinmonitoring list and sanctions by full name, and the register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shows whether they have lost the legal grounds to stay in Russia. This check needs a full name, date of birth and document details.
A foreign company operates in Russia through a branch or representative office — their accreditation is checked in the Federal Tax Service register. NeuroVision checks the people who sign the contract and stand behind the Russian tenant.
The company lives shorter than the lease
A new company with a nominee director signs a three-year contract, makes the first payment and stops paying. There is no one to recover from. The director's nominee status and account freezes are visible by tax number before the contract.
The tenant leaves without paying
A company with debts to the budget and commercial court claims asks to set off the deposit against rent and moves out, leaving repairs and utility bills behind. Court cases and debts show the burden in advance.
The signature is there, the money is not
The director signs the guarantee, but has open enforcement proceedings or a bankruptcy case. The guarantee formally exists, but there is nothing to recover under it.
The contract is signed by someone other than the person named
A person with an invalid passport or a power of attorney from a company where they are nobody. The passport is checked against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database and for traces of editing, and authority is verified with the director against the register.
The premises are needed only for registration
The company takes a letter of guarantee but never moves in: behind the address are a nominee director and dozens of similar firms. Checking the founders and the director before the letter filters out such an application.
Art. 651 of the Civil Code
Check before the keys
The company, director, guarantor and date of the check for each tenant — in your CRM
A business centre or shopping centre has dozens of tenants, checked in different years. Via the API your system sends each tax number separately with the required set of checks, and the result returns to the tenant's card.
During the lease the company may have changed director, had its accounts frozen or gone bankrupt. A repeat request by tax number before renewal, or once a year, returns current data.
A sublease needs your consent. Before giving it, check the subtenant with the same set as the tenant: they will be the one working in the premises.
There are no automatic alerts about changes at a tenant yet: monitoring is part of the KYB platform and is available in early access. For now, changes are visible when you compare a new response with the previous one.
Each check is enabled separately, and you pay for completed ones. A check skipped for lack of data is not charged — and does not mean “clean”. Inputs and response fields — in the API check catalogue.

Company and director checks and the requirements of 115‑FZ — in our blog.
By tax number: company status in the company register, signs of a shell company, court cases and debts, director and founders. Then the people behind the company: nominee director, bankruptcy, tax arrears, account freezes, the Rosfinmonitoring list and sanctions. If there is a guarantor and a signatory under a power of attorney — their passports and database checks. Unreliable data, financial statements and the power of attorney are checked in the authorities' services.
No. Article 5 of 115‑FZ does not name landlords or management companies, and a lease is not among the property transactions subject to mandatory control. A tenant check is the owner's protection against debts and someone else's business in the premises. A broker who also handles sales is a party covered by the law for those.
A lease of a building or premises for a term of at least a year is registered with Rosreestr: for third parties it takes effect from the moment of registration. A contract for a term of less than a year does not need registration. Between the parties, an agreed but unregistered contract is also binding.
A security deposit covers the tenant's future debts — rent, penalties, losses. If there is no debt, it is returned unless the contract says otherwise, and no interest accrues on it. An advance is prepayment for the lease. A deposit protects only while the debt is smaller than the deposit.
With the guarantor's consent: the passport is recognised from a photo and checked for authenticity and validity, then enforcement proceedings, bankruptcy and tax arrears. This shows whether there is real money behind the guarantee. A guarantee contract is concluded only in writing.
The employer is liable itself. But a market manager is liable under Art. 18.16 of the Administrative Offences Code if it provided a place or premises to a company that uses foreign nationals' labour illegally. From 3 November 2026 the article is amended by Law No. 294‑FZ — ask a lawyer whether it applies to your retail property. NeuroVision checks the tenant and the people behind it, not its workers' work permits.
If the company is not at the address, the tax authority may check the address and enter a note on unreliable data in the company register — this is the tenant's problem, but questions will arise for the property too. A nominee director and founders with debts give away such a company before the letter of guarantee.
The representative's passport is recognised with no manual entry and checked for traces of editing, validity and wanted status. NeuroVision does not check the power of attorney: a notarised one is verified in the power of attorney register, a machine-readable one — in the checking service, and authority — with the director against the register extract.
A tenant check is a quick set of register checks before the contract: company, director, guarantor, signatory. Due diligence goes deeper: documents, financial statements, beneficiaries and expert conclusions. For a large anchor tenant both make sense.
Yes. Via the API your system sends each tax number as a separate request with the required set of checks, and the results return to the tenants' cards. A repeat check — by the same request before renewing a contract or consenting to a sublease.
Foreign founders and the director of a Russian company — against the OFAC, EU, UK and UN sanctions lists and in compliance PEP screening. Foreign nationals' documents are recognised automatically, and a foreign individual is checked against the Ministry of Internal Affairs register of controlled persons. Branches and representative offices of foreign companies are checked in the Federal Tax Service register.
Checks of the director, founders and guarantor against the registers — 5 ₽ per check, compliance screening — 36 ₽, passport recognition — from 16 ₽. A company check by tax number — on request. You can test it with a test scenario in your account.
