TenantAlert
TenantAlert provides tenant screening reports for landlords, property owners, property managers, and real estate brokers through web and API access.
What TenantAlert is
TenantAlert provides tenant screening reports for landlords, property owners, property managers, and real estate brokers through web and API access. Reports can cover credit history and scores, criminal and eviction searches, check verification, address history, tax liens, judgments, and other verification services. Credit reports and scores are available from Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. Its standard process emails applicants a link to apply, verify identity, and authorize release of a credit report; approved, underwritten clients can access instant credit reports without waiting for applicant authorization. The four listed per-report plans range from BASIC at $24.95, paid once to PREMIER at $49.95, paid once, paid by either the landlord or tenant. The API includes JSON, webhooks, sandbox access, and configurable workflows. TenantSelect offers screening recommendations that users can customize or use with default criteria. TenantAlert says it was founded in 1988.
