Smartmove Screening Cost

Matthew Guidry
Posted Mar 30 2021, 12:34

Hey BP! Long time lurker from Louisiana here. I have a mobile home that has been rented to a family member since I've owned it. It has gone surprisingly well, but unfortunately they are moving out of state for work. This will be my first time screening tenants. 

I signed up with Smartmove with plans of having the potential tenant pay for the credit and background check. The only option available when choosing to have the tenant cover the cost is the $40 option. Most ads in my area have a $25 application fee. I fear this is too expensive for someone renting a mobile home and will negatively impact the number of applications I receive. Any recommendations on other screening services?
