RentButter combines tenant screening with identity, employment, and income verification for workforce housing leasing decisions.
What RentButter is
RentButter combines tenant screening with identity, employment, and income verification for workforce housing leasing decisions. Its workflow gathers identity, financial, background, and fraud checks into a report. Identity verification covers government ID documents, real-time face verification, and personal information; financial assessment includes credit behavior analytics, income and employment checks, and housing history. Background searches cover criminal records in local, state, and national databases, with jurisdictional safeguards. Fraud analysis considers identity, behavior, device risk, finances, and documents. Rent Butter says most screenings finish in under five minutes and describes its workflows as designed around FCRA requirements, jurisdiction-aware rules, and audit-ready reporting. The Butter API can provide reports as JSON/XML or HTML/PDF, with results retrieved by status or delivered by webhook or email. Sidecar places resident screening, income verification, and background checks beside property management software. Named integrations include Rent Manager, ManageAmerica, Yardi, and AppFolio. Pricing is on request; listed starting rates are $25, paid once for the Standard Plan and $35, paid once for the Professional Plan.
