RentGrow’s Tenant Screening Solution

ScreeningWorks, a new Web-based tenant screening solution for independent rental owners (IROs) and managers from RentGrow Inc offers access to comprehensive and affordable background screening that improves their decision-making process for finding the most qualified tenants.A recent national survey of IROs shows a sharp decline in the quality of rental applicants over the last few years, underscoring the need for more comprehensive background screening, according to RentGrow. In this same survey, owners and managers indicated that they are very eager to leverage new technologies that streamline the applicant screening process and deliver convenient access and instant results on tenant quality so they can make immediate applicant decisions.ScreeningWorks delivers access to a wide range of tenant screening data including:• Eviction Screening: Databases of filed/pending landlord and tenant cases as well as non-monetary judgments.• Criminal Records: High-quality national, state and county databases deliver the most accurate criminal records.• Credit Evaluation: Classifies applicant as a minimal, elevated or serious credit risk based on credit history and includes clearly defined definitions on the classification of the applicant.• Address Search: View all known previous addresses including any, which may have been omitted from the application.• OFAC/US Treasury Dept. Database;• National Sex Offender Registry; and• Social Security Number Fraud Check.The user simply logs on to the ScreeningWorks Web site, completes the one time registration process and then begins screening applicants. ScreeningWorks allows the user to make his or her application decision in less than five minutes. Unlike other resident screening offerings, ScreeningWorks requires no waiting period, no minimum number of rental units, and no faxing or gathering information from multiple data points.www.rentgrow.com
