Zumper's tenant screening service (powered by TransUnion) provides landlords with a comprehensive credit report that includes credit history, income verification, eviction history, criminal history and ResidentScore. This ResidentScore ranges from 350 to 850 and is crafted specifically for the rental market. 

This ResidentScore is designed to help landlords assess potential renters more precisely vs a traditional credit score. It does this using a sophisticated formula to analyze the credit report and produce a score. Where your applicant’s score falls on the scale can help you better assess their risk.

What's Included in the Report?

1. Credit History: Your screening report provides a thorough breakdown of the applicant's full credit history and report. 
2. Criminal and Eviction Records: You'll also find sections detailing any criminal or eviction records that TransUnion’s search has surfaced.

Please note: It's crucial to understand that the availability of criminal and eviction records may vary based on local laws and constraints from our provider. If you're a landlord operating in these states, the corresponding sections will be absent from the report.

Your Responsibility as a Landlord

While our screening reports provide substantial insights, landlords are responsible for ensuring that their tenant screening practices align with local regulations. Although we have certain limitations in place, it's imperative to be familiar with your local laws & compliance requirements when using our tenant screening services.

Before you screen potential renters, you should have a set of requirements each renter must meet to help you make an objective decision about who to lease your property to. Keep in mind, there are local and federal laws you also must adhere to when screening applicants and selecting a renter.
