Understand screening scores and labels
Read the reported score with its model and range. A score is not a rental decision.
On this page
Use the correct applicant record and an available report. Check the provider and report date before interpreting a score.
Step 1: Open the report
Open Renters > Applicants, select the applicant and use Screening report. If Summary shows Reported score, use View full report for its context.
Step 2: Check the score information
Under Credit score, read the score, model name and Model range when supplied. Expand Score factors when available. Rentari shows no rating when the model information is missing.
Step 3: Review the remaining information
Read the application and each relevant report section. The credit display does not summarize income, employment, eviction or criminal information.
What the display means
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reported score | A number returned in the available report; no approval recommendation. |
| Model not supplied | The report does not identify its scoring model. Do not assign a rating from another service. |
| Not reported | No score is available in this section. Read the section status and explanation. |
| Model range | The limits supplied for that model; the meter uses this range. |
Why scores can differ
A rental-specific model, such as TransUnion Resident Score, is different from FICO or VantageScore. A bank or credit app may show another model or date. A different number does not by itself prove an error.
Labels and rental criteria
Rentari does not use a universal Poor-to-Excellent table in this report display. Do not import another platform’s score bands or placement-service criteria. Apply your appropriate rental criteria consistently and review the complete evidence.
Check the result
- You can distinguish the returned score and model from a rental decision or missing report data.
FAQs
Does a high score mean the applicant is approved?
No. The score is one part of the information you review, not a guarantee or decision.
Is no score the same as a poor score?
No. Check the returned explanation and available credit history.
What if the score looks wrong?
Check the model, provider and report date, then use the reporting provider’s correction process for disputed information.
