Tenant Screening using TransUnion SmartMove

[Rodney Kuhl]

So I bought my first rental property and I am currently trying to get it rented out. I started using the TransUnion SmartMove to screen tenants. I was under the impression that my full application would be on there, but after receiving a response from an applicant, it looks like it is just the credit/criminal background part and not all of the other info you'd typically have on the application - employment, previous dwellings, etc.

Is that correct or did I just use the service wrong? If TransUnion SmartMove and the actual application are two separate things, how are most of you having applicants fill out the application part? Just sending them a PDF or having them fill out a hard copy and mailing it back?

Thanks!
