TenantAlert

TenantAlert provides tenant screening for landlords, property managers, and rental platforms. Reports cover credit, criminal, and eviction records, and the service also offers identity, employment, bank, and landlord verification, along with TeleCheck, sex offender, and terrorist list searches.

Screening runs three ways. The landlord can send an authorization request by email, and the report is released once the applicant authorizes it. Approved landlords can run reports directly without tenant email. Platforms can embed screening through an API or launch a branded white-label application page with their own fields and fee structure. There are no setup fees, subscriptions, contracts, or minimum order requirements, and either the landlord or the tenant can pay.

TenantAlert.com is part of Application Research Inc. and was founded in 1988. Accounts with 100 or more rental units can request discounted pricing, multiple user logins with per-property permissions, per-building invoicing every 30 days, and a dedicated account manager. Underwritten accounts can pull credit reports within 30 seconds with no tenant cooperation. Optional LeaseGuarantee coverage pays lost rent, damages, and legal fees up to $10,000, and every report includes a prepopulated adverse decision letter.

Per-report prices are not published on the pages crawled, so ask for the current fee schedule. Also confirm whether an account qualifies for underwriting, since that decides whether instant direct-access reports are available.
