CIC Resident Screening
CIC Resident Screening provides data rental housing providers can use to evaluate applicants against rental criteria. Credit reports are available from Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion and can include a VantageScore, tradelines, address history, and fraud search. Its nationwide housing court search covers past court actions, unlawful detainers, and monetary judgments; criminal searches cover felonies, sex offenses, wants, and warrants. CrossNet Decision includes a rental checklist that applies the customer’s criteria. CIC says its Regulatory Matrix checks criminal and housing court records against national, state, and county restrictions using a property’s ZIP code, at no extra charge for clients. The service is available through web and API, with integrations for property management software and custom options through its open API. CIC describes itself as a consumer reporting agency regulated by the FTC and CFPB, reporting for clients with a permissible purpose under the FCRA. Pricing is from $9. Traditional account setup requires a subscriber agreement and onsite physical inspection.
