Tenant screening report

A report supplied for a rental review that may combine credit, rental history, employment or other records and a score or recommendation. Its contents depend on the reporting company and selected package; it differs from a credit report and a submitted application.

In a living room, a landlord and an applicant look at a blank report, a tablet and an envelope on the coffee table
  1. Credit, rental and court history
  2. Get consent first
  3. Keep it private

Where it matters

Check the supplier, product, date, coverage, identity match and actual returned status. Resolve disputed information and use lawful criteria with human review; a completed report is not approval or a prediction of future conduct. Follow the applicable authorization, privacy and adverse-action process.
