Screen a Tenant Now — It's Free

Free for landlords & agents. No credit card. No contracts. Results in minutes.

What Happens When You Don't Screen

These aren't worst-case scenarios. They're Tuesday for landlords who skip background checks.

💰

Months of Unpaid Rent

The average eviction takes 3–6 months. That's thousands in lost rent you'll never recover — plus legal fees on top.

🚨

Property Damage

Holes in walls. Destroyed flooring. Broken appliances. Pet damage. Some landlords spend $5,000–$15,000 on repairs after a bad tenant leaves.

Eviction Court

Filing fees, attorney costs, court appearances, and weeks of stress. And if they fight it? Double the time, double the cost.

All of this is preventable with a $29.95 screening report.

Questions Landlords Ask

Straight answers. No sales pitch.

Wait — I really don't pay anything?

Correct. Creating your account is free. The applicant pays the $29.95 screening fee. You never enter a credit card or pay a monthly subscription.

How fast do I get results?

Most reports are ready within minutes after the applicant completes their authorization and payment. You'll get a text and email when it's done.

Is this legal? Do I need the applicant's permission?

Yes, it's fully legal and FCRA-compliant. The platform handles all required disclosures and applicant authorization automatically. You don't need to worry about the paperwork.

What if an applicant refuses to be screened?

That's a red flag worth paying attention to. Qualified applicants expect to be screened. Refusal often means there's something they don't want you to find.

Can I screen applicants for multiple properties?

Yes. You can create custom links for each property and screen unlimited applicants. There's no cap on properties or reports.

How does this compare to other screening services?

Most competitors charge $40–$55 per report plus monthly fees of $25–$40. This service gives you the same Experian-powered reports for $29.95 with zero monthly fees and no contracts.

What credit bureau does this use?

Reports are powered by Experian, one of the three major credit bureaus. Credit scores use the VantageScore model — the same model used by many lenders.
