TransUnion Renter Report - Reliable?

[Kate Schaefer]

We recently had two applicants go through the screening process for a rental unit of ours. We realized that one would soon be unemployed due to their relocation and the other was starting grad school (also unlikely that they'll be making a meaningful amount of money). We asked for cosigners and sent them through the TransUnion screening tool. Rather than return a credit score, it returns a Resident Score. Seemingly, both co-signers are qualified based on the Resident Score, however, one of them has quite a few delinquent payments and I would assume a bad credit score.

Does anyone have experience with the Resident Score that TransUnion provides? Is it reliable?

Any advice/assistance is appreciated!
