Frequently asked questions
Who usually pays for tenant screening reports?
In most cases, the prospective tenant pays for the screening report application fee directly through the platform. However, landlords can also choose to pay for the reports themselves, depending on the software platform used.
Do tenant screening checks affect an applicant's credit score?
Most tenant screening tools use a soft credit pull that does not impact the applicant's credit score. Always check the specific platform details, as hard inquiries can occasionally lower credit scores.
What information is typically included in a tenant screening report?
A standard screening report typically includes a credit history report, criminal background check, national eviction history, and sometimes employment or income verification details.
