Tenant Screening Reccomendations

[Joseph Cornwell]

Calling all landlords,

I would love to get feedback on what other landlords are using for tenant screening services. Company or service referrals, cost, pros, cons? I will be renting both units in my first duplex in the near future and I plan on using a professional screening service for background, credit, and criminal history. Has anyone had issues with good tenants paying an application fee? I am in the Cincinnati, Ohio market. Thank you for your input!

@Joseph Cornwell This is Kayla, from Cozy's support team. I know you were looking for some input on other landlords’ experiences with Cozy, so I’ll leave that part up to them and answer a couple of your questions here about our screening process. Cozy’s application isn’t currently customizable, although you could request supplemental information outside of Cozy as well. Our service doesn’t verify employment or references, but we do ask applicant for contact information for references. I’ll let our users fill you in with their thoughts on the process itself and their experiences with Cozy!
