In their own words
ApplyConnect
ApplyConnect is a web service for landlords, real estate agents, property managers, and rental applicants to share tenant-screening reports. A report includes an Experian credit report with VantageScore, a nationwide criminal background check, a sex offender search, and nationwide eviction history. The applicant initiates release and consents to sharing with a landlord or agent; ApplyConnect says the credit inquiry is soft and does not affect the applicant's score. Renters can share a purchased report with up to three properties within 30 days, and the company says reports are processed within seconds after payment. Landlords and agents can use an online rental application at no additional cost, along with listed tools such as online rent collection, automated decision notifications, free state notices, and property advertising links. With the property ZIP code, SAFE Screen checks local restrictions and masks criminal or eviction records restricted for use. ApplyConnect says it does not verify employment or prior rental history and can currently process only applicants with a valid U.S. Social Security number. Operator tools are free; renter reports cost $39.95 once.
