A Guide to Paying for Your Tenants Screening Fee

At RentSpree, we give you the option of selecting who pays for the screening reports: you or the applicant.

The payment options can only be selected before initiating a screening. If you want to pay for the report but selected the applicant to pay previously, you'll have to initiate another screening that includes you paying for the application and sending the new ApplyLink to the tenant.
