Send a screening request in a few minutes: review what’s in the package, then invite applicants by email, link, or flyer. Reports come back to your Applications tab when they’re ready.
Step 1: Open the Applications tab
From Properties, select the property, then the Applications tab, then Screen tenant.
Step 2: Accept the TransUnion service agreement (first time only)
Review and accept the TransUnion ShareAble service agreement. State laws affect what screening reports can include, and the agreement links TransUnion’s restrictions by state.
Step 3: Review your application package
You’ll see everything included: by default, the standard rental application, credit report, eviction records, income verification, reference checks, and document requests, with the fee charged to your applicant. To change what’s included or pay the fee yourself, select Edit: customize your screening package.
Step 4: Confirm the background check
If your package includes a criminal background check, you’ll confirm once that you’ll consider each applicant’s full qualifications before using criminal history in a decision.
Fair housing laws, federal and local, govern how criminal history can be used in rental decisions. If you’re unsure, speak with an attorney before ordering or acting on background checks.
Step 5: Invite your applicants
- Send directly: enter email addresses or phone numbers and select Request applications.
- Copy application link: one shareable link for text, email, social media, or your website.
- Generate a flyer: a downloadable QR-code flyer, handy at open houses and showings.
