11. You will now be asked to confirm which reports you would like. You can include an online rental application and a credit report, criminal background check, and nationwide eviction-related proceedings all by TransUnion. You can also choose to pay this yourself or if you want the applicant to pay us directly. Once you have made your decision, click on Finish.

That's it! You've now initiated the tenant screening on your Rentals.com listing. There will be an Apply Now button that appears under the contact box of your listing (shown below) and we will notify you once someone has completed the application and screening process.
