Why Check?

Why Should You Check a Tenant's Credit?

A credit check helps you truly evaluate a tenant's ability to meet their rental obligations.

TenantCheck provides landlords with the opportunity to access a tenant's credit history BEFORE entering into a tenancy agreement. Make an educated decision based on all available facts.

When you own a rental property, the selection of an appropriate tenant is critical to the success of the landlord-tenant relationship.

Once a tenancy has been established, it is much more difficult to remove a problem tenant.

Key reasons a credit check is important in the rental process:

Column

Verify that all the information on a tenant's application is legitimate

Determine if the applicant has a history or reliability and promptness in meeting their financial obligations

A credit check is an invaluable and inexpensive tool to assist landlords in the tenant screening process

Column

Credit reports cannot be directly obtained from credit agencies

Screening of a tenant should go beyond a phone call to a current or former landlord, and contacting a "character reference"

Have a full assessment of the applicant before you entrust your valuable asset to them
