Rental Background Checks

Tenant Screening

I am a private landlord, how do I screen a renter without a credit report?

Check them out before you let them check in!

Background Checks Systems uses sophisticated search logic to automatically compare the potential renter to information in our databases.

Those very same search algorithms are applied to our tenant background report to ensure you are screening the potential renter's true identity and not a relative with clean records.
