Tenant Screening in NY

[Ryan O'Malley]

Hi BP! I just created a listing for my duplex and know that NY State Law now limits the application fee for a renter to $20. This is below what majority of the credit check sites cost (I use cozy), so I am wondering what resources landlords in Rochester, NY have been using or how they go about screening. I use cozy currently, but the applicant cost per credit report is $25.

Before I switched to Buildium, I used RentPrep.  They were more than $25 as I recall.  But basically you charge the $20 and eat the rest.  Cost of doing business.
