What Experian Tenant Screening is

Experian Tenant Screening provides screening data and services for landlords, property managers, and screening providers. Its offering includes credit data, rental history, income verification, and employment information. Experian says its tenant credit checks and risk scores help predict future payment behavior; automated income and employment data can reduce manual verification. RentBureau supplies renter-specific payment history for screening and leasing decisions and is an FCRA-regulated specialty consumer reporting agency. Zillow applications combine an Experian credit report with residence history, background checks, and income and employment verification. Renters apply online; most credit and background checks return within minutes, while rare manual reviews can take one to two business days. The Zillow application is free for landlords, and renters pay $35, paid once, reusable across participating Zillow listings for 30 days. Experian Connect API can embed credit-sharing services in a website or mobile app, with identity and fraud features, report sharing, and archiving. Its listed price is $19.95, paid once per credit report order. Experian also offers flexible delivery and custom API solutions for rental partners.
