E-Renter vs TenantSafe

E-Renter is a web-based consumer reporting agency for tenant and employee screening. Reports may include identity and Social Security number checks, evictions, bankruptcies, criminal and sex-offender records, OFAC and Patriot Act searches, liens, judgments and address history. Individual landlords can test selected minimum credit criteria, but they do not receive a full credit report or score. Commercial accounts provide direct 24/7 access to full credit and other screening reports, with custom solutions and discount pricing. Basic costs $21.95, paid once and includes identity verification and a background check; criminal-record availability varies by state. Premium costs $31.95, paid once and adds a credit check, with the tenant paying an additional $2.49 for verification. Ultimate costs $36.95, paid once and adds name history, address history and Rent Check Advisor, with the same additional charge. There are no membership, registration, monthly or yearly fees; customers pay for ordered reports. Coverage is listed for all 50 states.
