Benefits of a Background Check

A Background Check let’s you check public record databases and the National Tenancy Database (blacklist) instantly. A Background Check helps confirm a renter as a quality, trustworthy tenant for property managers and owners.

Property managers and owners often run Background Checks to screen and select the best applicants.

Renters can see what property managers see in this report and can resolve any issues before applying. By including a Background Check with an application (in States where permitted) you could improve your chances of quickly securing your new home faster.

It's a quick and easy.
