Experian Tenant Screening

Experian Tenant Screening is a paid tenant-screening service for landlords, property managers, screening providers and rental partners. It runs on the web and through APIs, with pricing available on request. Screening data includes credit information, rental-history insights, income verification, employment data, criminal searches, eviction searches and identity verification. Experian says credit checks and risk scores help predict future payment behavior, while automated income and employment access reduces manual verification. RentBureau supplies renter-specific payment history and is described as an FCRA-regulated specialty consumer reporting agency. Through Zillow, renters apply online for participating rentals and receive an Experian credit report alongside residence history, background checks, and income and employment verification. Most checks return within minutes; rare manual reviews can take one to two business days. The Zillow application is free for landlords and costs renters $35, reusable for 30 days. Experian Connect API supports credit sharing, identity and fraud features, report sharing and archiving.
