Tenant Screening FAQs
While ScreenRenters believes in making the tenant screening process more accessible, we will never risk the safety of our users’ data. Hence, we only collect relevant information about tenants’ applications, including credit and criminal history.
As a reminder, ScreenRenters will never:
– Request a payment outside of our website
– Request payment for non-screening purposes (such as a setup fee)
– Collect your personal information (SSN, DOB, etc.) outside your ScreenRenters account.
– Request that you enter into a lease agreement with us.
If you suspect that you have been defrauded, please report the case to your local law enforcement for assistance.
ScreenRenters is an online rental application and tenant screening company. Our goal is to assist busy landlords and their rental applicants by providing easy access to information for tenant screening. We’re leveling the playing field by giving small landlords the same tools as large professional property management companies.
ScreenRenters is an online tenant screening company. Below is the procedure of our services:
1. The landlord must first create an account on ScreenRenters and provide basic information about their property. If you’re a returning user, you can simply log in to your account.
2. Next, the landlord must request an applicant’s email address and input it into the server. The applicant will receive an email from ScreenRenters, which they can accept or decline.
3. If the applicant accepts the invitation, they can, in turn, create a tenant account on ScreenRenters. They will receive several prompts to input information relevant to the screening process, including credit and criminal history.
4. After the tenant fills in the information, the landlord will have access to view the disclosed data.
5. Based on the landlord’s property information and the applicant’s data, ScreenRenters will make a leasing suggestion to assist in making an informed decision.
6. Finally, the renter will receive a notification on whether the landlord approved or declined their application.
During the screening procedure mentioned above, both the landlord and the renter will log on to ScreenRenters.com. ScreenRenters requires both members to actively participate in validating the application process. This requirement ensures the service remains safe and secure for our users.
With ScreenRenters, unlike other tenant screening services, the customer initiates the release of their credit and criminal data. Both landlords and customers gain from this arrangement. It saves landlords time and money by reducing the paperwork and time it takes to conduct a credit inquiry on a tenant. Consumers who provide their data trigger a “soft inquiry,” which does not affect their credit score.
For security measures, ScreenRenters is an online service. Landlords and applicants will require:
-Internet access: Since ScreenRenters is an online service, you will not be able to access our servers without a stable internet. If you have difficulty, you may try public Wi-Fi. However, you should ensure it is a trusted connection.
-Individual email addresses: Landlords and prospective tenants will require separate email addresses. If there is more than one potential renter, the landlord will need to create different rental profiles for each candidate with a different email address.
The length of the process depends on how quickly each party can complete the steps and fill in the required information. ScreenRenters give instant results after the applicant confirms their identity and passes the online identity.
Unlike larger property management companies, ScreenRenters is an online solution that obtains data from TransUnion CreditRetriever. Thus, by eliminating the cost of hosting and upkeep, we can provide more economically-friendly expert screening solutions.
Proper tenant screening can help landlords avoid disputes and late rental payments. With TransUnion’s advanced tools, ScreenRenters provides property owners swift and dependable tenant screening services. This information is crucial in helping you determine the eligibility of a prospective tenant’s application. Thus, you can make more informed decisions that are best for your investment. Besides, using our services also means tenants can forego the risk of compromising their data.
Landlords can only see information from tenants that grant them approval. ScreenRenters only discloses credit and criminal information with permission from the applicant.
ScreenRenters is an excellent choice for independent property owners and small property management companies alike for two reasons:
1. Our pay-as-you-go charge system makes it ideal for landlords that do not require frequent screening services.
2. Our low-cost web services are on par with the large property management companies, making tenant screening readily available to property owners with fewer resources.
No, you can’t. At the moment, ScreenRenters can only support prospective tenants with a US social security number. Please, discuss further actions on the application process with the inquiring landlord.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further inquiries.
