Tenant screening & management software

[Ryan Duphorn]

What software/website do y'all use for tenant screening? What about for managing your rentals? In my limited research on this, I've noticed that most tenant screening websites charge roughly $30 per background check. Do y'all charge this to the prospective tenant or eat the cost yourself? 

Thanks in advance!

We use RentecDirect.com.  Can't say enough awesome things about it.  It collects our rent and deposits it into our account the next business day (for no fee for ACH - tenants pay a fee to use a Credit card), broadcasts our listings, screens the tenants, tracks expenses, handles leases,  tracks tenant payments, applies late fees, allows for reporting of maintenance issues, etc, etc.  I think screening is about $15, and you can control who pays for it.

It costs a few dollars per tenant per month.  We've been using it for several years and has been very bullet-proof.

All the best!
