What it is

TenantAlert provides tenant screening reports for landlords, property owners, property managers, and real estate brokers. Depending on the report, screening can cover credit history and scores, criminal and eviction searches, check verification, address history, tax liens, judgments, and other verification services. Credit reports are available from Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. Its listed plans are charged per report: BASIC is $24.95, paid once, PLUS is $29.95, paid once, PRO is $39.95, paid once, and PREMIER is $49.95, paid once; the landlord or tenant pays. In the standard application flow, applicants receive an emailed link to apply, verify identity, and authorize release of their credit report. Approved, underwritten clients can instead access instant credit reports without waiting for applicant authorization. The API supports JSON, webhooks, sandbox access, and configurable workflows; API screening reports start at $0.50, with prices varying by report and volume. TenantSelect offers configurable screening recommendations. LeaseGuarantee covers lost rent, damages, and legal expenses up to $10,000, with an annual fee starting at $299. The service is available on web and through an API.
