Tenant Screening
What happens after you submit your application

How Screening Works

After you submit your application and pay the application fee, the landlord initiates a comprehensive background screening through our trusted partner, TransUnion.

This screening helps landlords make informed decisions while ensuring a fair and transparent process for all applicants. Results are typically available within minutes.

You'll receive an email confirmation once your application is submitted and another notification when the landlord has reviewed your application.

📋 What's Included in Screening

💳
Credit Report — Credit score, payment history, and outstanding debts
⚖️
Criminal Background — National criminal database search
🏠
Eviction History — Past eviction records and court filings
✓
Identity Verification — SSN verification and ID confirmation
Powered by TransUnion SmartMove

Industry-leading tenant screening trusted by millions of landlords nationwide. Your data is secure and protected.
