Tenant Screening
Credit, background, and eviction checks — with a consistent, fair process.
- Credit, background & eviction checks
- Consistent criteria applied to every applicant
- Adverse-action handling built in
- Decisions documented for compliance

Frequently asked
Screening can include credit, background, and eviction history so you have a fuller picture of an applicant. You apply the same criteria to everyone for a consistent process.
You set your criteria once and apply them the same way to every applicant, which helps you avoid ad hoc decisions. Screening rules vary by state and locality, so confirm what is allowed where your properties are.
Rentway supports the adverse-action step so you can handle a denial properly when a report factors into the decision. Because requirements differ by jurisdiction, check the rules that apply to your area.
