Rent Spree is NO GOOD!

Shan Vincent
Posted

Hi!
I wanted to let you know some information I just found out about Rentspree. I’ve been using them to screen my tenants to find out that the only service they use when looking at a tenant is Transunion credit reporting agency. If there is something in the background of the tenant that is not reported to Transunion then you will not see it on rent spree. I rented a property to a tenant 6 months ago that was squeaky clean according to RentSpree. The tenant was arrested on Thursday for dealing drugs out of our property in Newport Beach. I went online to look at whatever I could find and found an eviction that RentSpree missed. I don’t know what else was missed but I would not have rented to him if I had known he had an eviction on his record.

 I am in search of a company that actually does criminal and background checks that are better than my current experience.
I will not use Rentspree again. I think knowing what I know now is helpful for the future for all of us.
If you have a company you trust let me know. FYI Transunion Smart Move has the same processes as RentSpree. I will not use them either.
