Credit and Background checks

[Jaime Perez]

Hello everyone Does anyone have any feedback on this tenant screening app called Houserie? Any referrals on who to use? Thanks Jaime

One of the main advantages of SmartMove / TransUnion is they provide all of the primary tenant screening reports (Credit / Criminal / Eviction) in one.  This allows them to cross-match records from credit and criminal to reduce false-positive criminal hits on applicants (compared to a service that uses Experian, for example, that does not provide criminal records).

Much easier to accurately get a criminal record for "John Smith" when you can cross reference attributes from their criminal and credit files.  (Versus a company only pulling credit, or only pulling criminal).

This was one of the reasons why we decided to partner with them, as accurate records was very important to the landlords that use our service.
