Tenant Screening with Naborly

[Colten Bishop]

Hey All!

Just curious if any of you have used Naborly (www.naborly.co) to screen your tenants.  How was the process and do you find the service is worth the price of the membership?

Thanks!!!

I urge caution with Naborly as it is not trustworthy. They reported no eviction records for a potential tenant who was given a lease. Second month’s rent was not paid. I looked up his name in the free local court records and to my horror found he had three evictions in 2008, 2014 and 2019!  After this was brought to their attention, they labeled this a criminal background matter and customer support manager stated that if an eviction did not show up on Equifax or a criminal background check, they didn’t run any other eviction checks.  

Naborly is just a “tool” and LL need to run their own background checks. She said Naborly would try to clarify it’s limited use in the future as a tool and not a background search  

Bottom line, use a tenant search service that actually checks for evictions, etc.  And that is not Naborly.
