In their own words
RentSafe
RentSafe is a web-based tenant-screening platform for property managers, landlords, and renters. Property managers can create customized rental applications and separate links for each property, then view applications and real-time results in a centralized dashboard. Screening reports include a full credit report, national eviction search, and national criminal background check; RentSafe partners with TransUnion for credit reporting. It says checks are processed instantly, with results reaching the dashboard within seconds. The credit inquiry is soft and does not affect an applicant’s credit score. Renters can submit applications, upload documents, invite roommates, and follow application status through the portal. Managers can start screening after account creation without credentialing. The Property Manager plan is free and lists unlimited applications. A renter application costs $45, paid once for each adult applicant and includes one application report. RentSafe does not make application decisions: landlords or property managers decide whether to approve applicants.
