How we verify

Verified reviews,
without exposing you.

Every review on Lived is written by a real tenant and stripped of identity before going live. Here's how it works, step by step.

01
The processthree steps, in order
  1. 01.

    You prove tenancy

    Upload an Ejari contract, DEWA bill, or rental receipt. We check the address and dates against the building.

  2. 02.

    We strip your identity

    Once verification is complete, we remove personal identifiers from the stored document. The review stays; your name never appears next to it.

  3. 03.

    We review every review

    We run automated moderation for obvious policy breaches, and a real person reads every review before it goes live. Reviews that need clarification get sent back to the author.

02
What counts as proofany one of these is enough
Evidence

Ejari contract

The official Dubai tenancy contract is the strongest proof of residency.

Evidence

DEWA bill

A utility bill in your name at the property address works equally well.

Evidence

Rental receipts

Dated payments to the landlord that establish the tenancy.

Anonymous by design
