Tenant Screening Query

[Carolyn Q.]

Do you use 3rd party sources for tenant screening? If so who? Why do you like this company?

I just received my first tenant submission from SmartRent.co and overall I'm impressed. The tenant submitted all of the information and paid the $25 CAD fee. The report I received included all of the information that I'd previously received from tenantverification.ca plus a bunch of additional data. Unfortunately much of the added fields were blank in this case. But the upside of having the tenant pay for their own report and enter all of their own information to provide an equivalent or better report than TVS is definitely worth it. I will plan to use this more in the coming months and see how it holds up.
