Background checks without tenant authorization
Hi BP,
I recently used tenantbackgroundsearch.com to complete my first background check on some recent applicants. I liked the site and the price ($60 for 2 tenants which included past address history, nationwide criminal record search, eviction records, and credit report with credit score), but I did not like that they would not give me the report until the tenant logged into their e-mail and authorized the credit/background checks even though I had the tenants' social security numbers.
I've rented before, and I never had to go into my e-mail and authorize a check. This really slows things down, and I already have the tenant's authorization to run checks on my application. Is there a site I can use that will just let me run the report without any actions on the tenants' part?
TIA!
