Tenant Background Checks & Tenant Credit Screening Services

Tenant screening is a vital part of our business – our goal is to save our clients’ money by helping them make the most informed rental decision.

Our tenant screening services enable you to decrease the likelihood of property damage, late payments, or crimes committed by your tenants on your property – for which you may be liable! We offer a variety of tenant screening, including current criminal records, as well as landlord credit checks and residence verifications in which we conduct interviews with your applicant’s current and previous landlords, asking important questions regarding their rental history. These landlords often provide insight into the applicant that cannot be obtained anywhere else – such as whether the tenant paid rent on time or caused property damage, allowing you to undrstand how this individual is as a tenant before you allow them into your property.
