Landlord Tenant Screening FAQs
The three main reasons ScreenRenters is a unique tenant screening solution are:
1. It is swift – When both parties are on board, landlords and applicants can swiftly create an account on ScreenRenters and begin the screening process.
2. It is consumer-initiated – The tenant plays a significant role in screening by disclosing personal information on ScreenRenters’ secure website. That makes it possible for the landlord to view their relevant history with consent.
3. It does not affect credit scores – Unlike traditional tenant screening methods, using ScreenRenters does not reduce an applicant’s score because we perform a soft pull.
No, you cannot. As a consumer-initiated service, ScreenRenters can neither access nor disclose any personal information about an applicant without their consent. Alternative means that do not require the tenant’s participation are often unsafe for collecting personal consumer data.
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.
No, ScreenRenters cannot report any unpaid rent in an applicant’s credit report. If you’re concerned about back rent, you may contact a collection agency to make inquiries.
No, ScreenRenters does not verify the employment history of prospective tenants. We recommend asking the renter for work references.
No, ScreenRenters does not verify the rental history of prospective tenants. We recommend cross-checking with your local apartment association.
For security reasons, ScreenRenters require that tenants verify their identity before TransUnion can release sensitive personal reports. If they cannot pass the online identity authentication process, you may contact ScreenRenters for a solution. The tenant may obtain their information in most cases by contacting TransUnion’s consumer solutions.
Tenants cannot sign up on ScreenRenters without an invitation from a landlord. Ensure that you entered the correct email address. You could be mixing letters, missing symbols, or entering a different email. Also, ensure the email address is correct, and ask the applicant to double-check their spam folder or junk mail. Please add our email address no-reply@screenrenters.com to your safe list or address book to prevent the server from flagging our future emails. You can also send your applicant the application URL directly.
A resident score is a metric tool to gauge the tenant’s ability to fulfill their rental obligations.
