Screening

Tenant Screening: Residence history can be obtained from the credit file, public records, court records and the application to ensure the most accurate history.

Home ownership is verified through property tax assessors and mortgage accounts appearing on the credit history.

A reverse directory will be used to investigate all addresses that the applicant provides and those that are found on the Experian and Trans Union credit reports.

Phone numbers can also be reversed when necessary to gain additional information. These practices uncover false or omitted rental and employment references.

Credit Checks

A credit history interpretation is provided that contains all reported lines of credit, and shows the total past due amounts. Credit report is itemized for money owed to landlords or property management companies.

Criminal History

Criminal history will be checked on all applicants including state background checks in any state the applicant has lived.

Employment History

Employment Verification: Employment history will be obtained from employers and references as well as investigative sources to secure the maximum number of independent references.

Self-employed applicants will be verified through the applicable state Corporation Commissions or through the appropriate licensing board.

I’ve trusted Bemrose Screening for over two decades because they provide something that technology alone can’t—real rental references from current and previous landlords. Their rental references provide insight that instant screening cannot offer. Their reports are clear, thorough, and easy to navigate, and the TenantTech integration has been a tremendous time-saver for our team. Bemrose continues to deliver personal service and reliable information. -- Angela Graves, Asset Manager, JK Management Co.
