   Unfortunately, there is no database that holds tenant information. To perform Landlord Verification, AAA Credit Screening needs a contact name & phone number for the applicant’s previous and or current landlords.

   All credit reports require a United States address (current or previous) to be run with the exception of Canadian credit reports. Canadian credit reports are run thgouht Equifax, & utilize a Canadian address (including street address, city, and province) when reporting information about an applicant. There is no price difference between a Canadian Credit Report and a U.S. Address, however, Equifax has additional restrictions placed on the report requestor, including a site visit, wherein a representative of Equifax inspects the property where you will be storing the report information. If you are interested in obtaining credit reports from Equifax, but have not had a site visit performed on your property, call our offices at 281-282-0447 for more information.
