Tenant Background Checks

Landlords and residential property managers know that previous rental history is an accurate predictor of future rental behavior. We help you choose only those applicants most likely to meet their obligations and responsibly care for properties. The Tenant Screening Solutions offer two levels of configuration to facilitate speedy, informed tenant decisions by accessing criminal, financial, eviction and employment records across the nation. Level 2 searches more databases to screen in greater depth, with a particular focus on history as a tenant.
