Here’s exactly what you receive when an applicant completes a screening: the completed standard rental application, plus TransUnion’s credit report, background records, and eviction records.
The application is filled out by the applicant, so contact them to confirm anything you need to verify, or use the income verification report and auto-reference checks to help.
Sample of the standard rental application
TransUnion credit report
Each report includes a Resident Score, fraud indicators, loans, late payments, and more. TransUnion uses a soft credit inquiry, which doesn’t affect the applicant’s credit score.

TransUnion background records
The criminal background check draws on databases including the National Sex Offender Registry, Most Wanted databases, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and state court records. Some states limit what can be returned: see Screening Disclaimer and Limitations.
TransUnion eviction records
Eviction records come from public landlord-tenant court records, filtered for accuracy with identity checks and search logic, and go back 7 years.
