You can screen tenants from your RentSpree dashboard once you’ve added the property. Add or select your property, choose what to include in the application, then send the request to applicants.
Note: If you’re the renter’s agent, check with the listing agent first to confirm their preferred screening method or that you’re cleared to screen and share the reports.
Step 1: Open Screening and select Screen Tenants
From the left menu, select Screening, then Screen Tenants. The first time, enter your personal information and agree to the TransUnion Service Agreement.
Step 2: Add or select your property
Choose a property from the drop-down menu, or select + Add New Property and enter the address. Review it carefully, since the address can’t be changed once confirmed.
Step 3: Confirm the property and your role
Confirm the address and select your role, such as listing agent or landlord. If you’re the listing agent, add the landlord’s contact information. If you’re asked how you’d like to find applicants, select Create a screening request now. Selecting Market your property instead starts a Listing Page.
Step 4: Choose your screening options
On the confirmation page, select Next to use the preset options, or Edit to customize what’s included:
- Rental application or C.A.R. rental application. The C.A.R. application requires a validated C.A.R. membership; see Request a C.A.R. rental application for how validation works.
- Credit report and score
- Criminal background check
- Eviction history report
- Advanced verification, including income verification, document upload, and auto reference checks
- Who pays the screening fee, the applicant or you
Step 5: Send the request to applicants
Choose how to invite applicants:
Once an applicant submits, you’ll get an email notification. Next: View a completed TransUnion report
