Zillow Rental Manager Tenant Screening lets landlords request renter credit, background, income, and eviction-history checks, then review applications and screening reports in one dashboard. Experian supplies the tenant credit report, while CIC performs background checks that include nationwide eviction, sex-offender, and criminal searches. Credit reports typically include a score, open credit lines, employment and residence history, and past bankruptcies or collections. Renters may submit up to five income-verification documents, such as pay stubs, W-2 statements, bank statements, or offer letters. Landlords can enable applications on listings or privately invite applicants, including prospects who did not come from Zillow. Applications are available through participating listings on Zillow, Trulia, and HotPads. Landlords pay nothing for screening reports; renters pay a $35, paid once application fee and can use that application with unlimited participating landlords for 30 days. When available, credit and background checks are included upon submission. Legal requirements may modify application components, and landlords cannot add their own custom questions or criteria.
