Why should I screen future tenants?
For a successful tenancy, it is important to diligently screen applicants. Past credit problems, financial problems, evictions, fraud and sex offenses not only indicate potential problems, but could leave you responsible in negligent litigation.- In 2003, consumers had over 2 trillion in outstanding credit with over 1.3 million filing for bankruptcy. This amount is increasing at a rate of over 4.4% annually.
- Over 30% of civil litigation involves contract disputes such as evictions
- Over 13 million arrests are made annually in the United States. These offenses range from fraud to sexual and violent offenses.
What are the benefits of screening?
- Instantly check application data for position requirements

- Determine credit worthiness and overall level of responsibility with credit reports.
- Diligently check for criminal past with both on-line databases, e.g., RAPSHEET Criminal Report, and court researchers available in every county
- Check for past eviction history
- Adhere to laws governing use of credit reports for employment screening with declination letters

| Credit Reports |
Data on credit reports can be used to verify applicant information and determine how responsible an individual is with employment, tradeline, collection, public record, child support history and inquiry information. |
||
| Criminal History |
Renting based solely on an application or firsthand perception is not only misguided but dangerous. It is important to go beyond verification and screen for a criminal past. |
||
| Eviction History |
One of the most important steps for tenant screening is checking for past evictions. This site offers several products that return evictions in most of the United States. |
