Ayillo Tenant Screening vs Storage Commander

Ayillo Tenant Screening is a screening workflow within property-management software for landlords and property managers. Before applications open, each property must publish screening criteria that include a credit floor, income multiple and criminal-history policy. Checks can cover credit reports and scores, eviction and civil-judgment history, criminal history where allowed, income verification and prior landlord references. Ayillo says criminal screening follows jurisdictional rules, including ban-the-box requirements. If a report contributes to a denial, the system prepares an adverse-action notice naming the screening company and explaining the applicant's dispute rights. The landlord or property manager who ran the check can see the underlying report; applicants receive a summary decision and, if adverse, the notice. Screening connects with applications, lease generation, e-signatures and renewals. The Core workspace costs $49 a month, billed monthly per workspace, and includes the first 5 units. New professional workspaces receive a 30-day free trial, which requires a payment card to start.
