Avail Tenant Screening

What Avail Tenant Screening is

Avail Tenant Screening is a web service for DIY landlords to collect online rental applications and request screening reports powered by TransUnion. Reports can include credit information, nationwide criminal history, and state-by-state eviction checks. Credit reports show a score, trade-lines, inquiries, available credit, and debts. Additional listed features include automated residence and employment reference checks, income verification, and documentation.

Landlords can keep application details, screening results, and follow-ups together, track applicant status, and send updates or decisions using prewritten compliant messages. After reviewing an application, they can send a rental lease agreement from their Avail account for e-signature. Tenants may share a Renter Profile they have already paid for with multiple landlords. Landlords choose which reports to request and whether they or the applicant pays; report costs vary by location. The free Unlimited plan covers unlimited units, while Unlimited Plus costs $9 a month. Avail says applications with screening reports can be completed within minutes. Its privacy policy says it does not store on its servers the Social Security number provided to the third-party background-check provider.
