Using a variety of methods, you'll need to verify the identities of tenants. This can involve checking IDs, verifying apartment numbers, and even making phone calls to confirm their arrival.

The atmosphere and tension build as you encounter increasingly suspicious characters. Making the wrong decision can have dire consequences, adding a layer of moral weight to your role.
