Know What Landlords See

Approval decisions are often based on your credit report, criminal background, and housing court records. Reviewing your tenant screening report first helps you understand whether you’ll meet a landlord’s criteria—before you spend time and money applying.

Save Time & Fees

Avoid wasting application fees on properties that don’t match your profile.

Improve Your Credit Score—Without Hurting It

ApplyConnect® uses a soft inquiry, so checking your report will not lower your credit score. Use it to identify negative items, fix issues proactively, and present your strongest application.
