Tenant Background Check

Protect your investment before handing over the keys. Run a comprehensive background and credit check on prospective tenants right here. Results include criminal history, eviction records, credit score from all three major bureaus, and identity verification — everything you need to make a confident decision.

This is Step 1 of the Move-In Manager checklist. After screening, check our peer review database to see if other landlords have left feedback about this applicant. Once approved, continue through the full move-in process to get your new tenant settled in properly.
