Complete, Applicant-Authorized Reports

Pull the data that actually predicts a successful tenancy. Applicants authorize and pay during the application, so you never front the cost.

  • Credit Reports & Scores
    A soft-pull credit report with score, tradelines, and outstanding debt — delivered in minutes without affecting the applicant's credit.
  • Nationwide Criminal Search
    Multi-jurisdiction criminal records and sex-offender registry checks, filtered to comply with fair-housing guidance on how records may be used.
  • Eviction History
    Search civil eviction records across the country to surface prior filings and judgments before they become your problem.
FCRA-Compliant Decisioning Built In

FCRA-Compliant Decisioning Built In

Apply the same standards to every applicant and document every decision, so your process holds up under scrutiny.

  • Customizable Criteria
    Set income-to-rent ratios, minimum credit scores, and disqualifying flags once. The system scores each applicant against your rules automatically.
  • Adverse Action Letters
    When you decline an applicant, the platform generates and sends the compliant adverse-action notice the FCRA requires, with the reason and reporting agency.
  • Income & ID Verification
    Verify identity and confirm stated income with linked bank data and uploaded documents, reducing fraud and bad-faith applications.
Additional Features

Even more reasons to choose PropertyManager

Applicant Pays

Screening fees are collected from the applicant at submission, so quality screening costs you nothing.

Recommendation Engine

Each report includes a clear accept / conditional / decline recommendation based on your criteria, to keep decisions consistent.

Rental & Employment History

Capture prior addresses, landlord references, and employment so you have the full picture in one application.

Roommate & Co-Signer Screening

Screen every adult on the lease and add guarantors when an applicant falls just short of your income threshold.

Secure Document Storage

Reports and IDs are encrypted and retained per your policy, with access limited to authorized staff.

Fast Turnaround

Most full screening packages return in minutes, so you can fill vacancies before another property does.

The decisioning rules took the guesswork — and the bias risk — out of approvals. Adverse-action letters go out automatically, which is the part I always worried about. Our bad-debt write-offs are down noticeably since we switched.
