What VerifyTenant is
VerifyTenant is a web service for tenant background screening by landlords, property managers, realtors and condo associations. Criminal checks cover national records, sex-offender registries across all 50 states and OFAC terrorist-watchlist screening. Nationwide eviction searches are available, along with outreach to previous landlords and employers for rental and employment verification. Member credit reports can include a score, SSN verification, addresses, employer history, liens, collections, civil judgments, bankruptcies and credit-grantor ratings; TransUnion is the listed bureau. Additional searches include DMV records, county courthouses, bad checks, international backgrounds and custom packages. VerifyTenant says most products return results in seconds, while manual reviews finish within 24 hours. Members have 24/7 report access, and the service provides adverse-action letters, dispute forms and FCRA support. Customer service is offered in English and Spanish.
