What is your favorite tenant screening service?

Hello All,

Was searching online but haven't seen a recent thread/post in a while on this and since these services change often would love to hear what you use when screening tenants.
Ideal features:

  • Credit report (preferably of an actual credit bureau)
  • Criminal check 
  • Eviction check
  • Option for me to fill in the tenant's data myself (many residents around this area are more comfortable with paper / phone than using the internet.)
  • Preferably $35 or less (so I'm not charging potential residents an arm and a leg)

Services I've heard of but have yet to try:

  • Cozy.co <-- No ability for me to enter the tenant's data
  • Houserie <-- This one seems promising. Do people trust this?
  • On-site.com <-- Referred by a local but $40 for everything these days.
  • Transunion / Experian service <-- Seems to require tenants to fill out form 

Many thanks in advance for any advice in this realm!

Alice
