Where do you get more renters and check their background ?

[Nazgul Tataeva]

Hi everyone,

First of all I am so happy to be part of this forum and thankful for everyone who shred with their experience and knowledge 🙏🏻.

My tenant is moving out and I placed the ad on apartments.com where it says will do all together (application, background check and screening and management). I do get leads but background checks are so week not detailed. I only see tenant general & employment info, eviction history, criminal background. It doesn’t show their credit score anything else.

It is my first time and would like to do find a tenant myself without paying for realtor’s fee which is one month rent. I would like to learn all about leasing.

Where do you guys place your ad and run tenant’s background check? Any advice appreciated.

Cozy is now part of apartments.com. You can’t sign up for Cozy anymore.

Apartments.com uses a version of the same Transunion report you can get on your own via SmartMove. It sources from the same database and is a favorite of many on this forum.

Alternatively you can check out RentPrep which offers a manual background check which may be more thorough.
